The funniest and by far the most popular show on NPR is "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!" because it tells the week's news in a digestible way -- through humor. Who knew it traveled around to different parts of the country to be in front a live audience?

It does though it seems to usually be at one live venue in Chicago called home. Tonight, it's made it to the big time, Hollywood! The secret life of the show, icon Carl Kasell, will be in attendance in spirit.
Los Angeles has a "Central Park" called Griffith Park, a wilderness above and behind the glittering lights of Tinsel Town, in Hollywood's backyard, connected to the largest public parkland in the country, which is the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
