Title: "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" Possibly Coming To Television

This has been tried twice before. The first time resulted in a non-broadcast pilot, and the second in a one-off special.

I love Wait Wait, but I don't see why they think it will go any differently this time.

As someone who has been to a show in person, there isn't much visual appeal to the format.  I would be concerned any changes to add visual appeal would be distractions rather than enhancers.
