'Wait Wait' For Feb. 11, 2017: With Not My Job Guest Stephen Colbert

February 11, 2017 • Recorded in New York City with Not My Job guest Stephen Colbert, guest judge Glynn Washington, and panelists Peter Grosz, Faith Salie and Mo Rocca.

This is not a photo of Stephen Colbert answering the questions we planned to ask Lena Dunham, but rather, testifying before the House Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law subcommittee in September 2010. His face kind of looked the same, though. Alex Brandon/AP hide caption
