    The first question of this Wayback Machine stumped Peter and our contestant (WW+)

    It's time for another installment of the Wait Wait Wayback Machine, our quiz game for Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me+ supporters! In this bonus episode, executive producer Mike Danforth puts questions to host Peter Sagal and Pamela, a listener from Detroit, Michigan. The catch? These questions aired on the show 20 years ago in February 2006. Listen through to the end where we discuss which "Lord of the Rings" character would make a good pizza shop name! If you want a chance to play the Wayback Machine with Peter in a future bonus episode, sign up for Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org.

We get answers to those and other questions, including one about Peter's role in the making of "Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights"?!?!?  This normally would be a bonus episode just for Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!+ listeners. With this being the season of giving, we're sharing this one with everyone! To hear part 2 of Peter's AMA, make sure you're signed up for Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!+.
