Looking for a last-minute way to spend your Thursday evening? Philly-based Fresh Air talk show host Terry Gross will make an appearance at The Mann Center tonight for a live recording of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!

Gross joins the show as a special guest during the “Not My Job” segment. As the title suggests, Gross will be asked a series of questions about topics that have nothing to do with being the host of Fresh-Air. If you listened to her interview with comedian and fellow podcast host Marc Maron recently, you know she hates talking about her personal life. So this should be fun.

Peter Segal and human-scoreboard Bill Kurtis will lead a satirical and hilarious review of this past week’s current events, so you could be in for commentary on everything from Bill Cosby to the fired lesbian teacher to Donald Trump. Panelists will include Peter Grosz, Amy Dickson and Tom Bodett.

The show will be held at the Mann Center tonight at 7:30 p.m. Purchase tickets here.

If you can’t make the show tonight, you can listen to the recording this Saturday, July 11th on WHYY Saturdays at 10AM and 4PM.
