| On the NPR show [[https://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me|Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me]], announcer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Kurtis|Bill Kurtis]] opens each show introducing him self, and then saying something about himself, like "the voice so smooth" followed by a clever remark. This is a collection of those lines. Not all of the actual show dates are listed, because sometimes there is a guest announcer who is not Bill; these are just Bill's lines. Also, just reading the text of these lines don't do the performance proper justice. The actual delivery is most of the greatness of them =) | On the NPR show [[https://www.npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me|Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me]], announcer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Kurtis|Bill Kurtis]] opens each show introducing him self, and then saying something about himself, like "the voice so smooth" followed by a clever remark.
