Best known as one of the wittiest panelists on National Public Radio’s comedy news quiz show
Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me, comedian Paula Poundstone has come a long way since starring in the cheesy 1984 cult sci-fi movie

Along with her steady guest appearances on NPR, Poundstone has recently started her own podcast, Nobody Listens to Paula Poundstone, and released her new book
The Totally Unscientific Study of the Search for Human Happiness. Click
