It's another Peter AMA (Ask Me Anything)! Wait Wait visual host Emma Choi puts your questions to the big man himself -- Peter Sagal. If he had to listen to one song for the rest of his life what would it be? What actor would Peter cast to play him in a Wait Wait movie? What does Peter listen to when he runs? 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!+. You also get regular episodes sponsor-free and support the work of NPR. For more details, go to plus.npr.org/waitwait.
