Prediction

PETER SAGAL, HOST:

In just a minute we're going to ask our panelists to predict - now that he is no longer on TV, what will Bill O'Reilly do next? But first let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and Angie's List, for more than 20 years helping consumers select local service providers, dedicated to promoting fairness and transparency about local pricing and quality, at angieslist.com.

WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is a production of NPR and WBEZ Chicago in association with Urgent Haircut Productions. Doug Berman, benevolent overlord. Philipp Goedicke writes our limericks. Our house manager is Tyler Greene. Our intern is Kijin Higashibaba. Our web guru, that's Beth Novey. Special thanks this week to Gary Yeck and Du Tran (ph). And thank you The Budlong Hot Chicken Restaurant for feeding us. BJ Leiderman composed our theme. Our program is produced by Miles Doornbos and Jennifer Mills-Mills. Technical direction is from Lorna White. Our CFO is Ann Nguyen. Our production coordinator, that's Robert Neuhaus. Our senior producer is Ian Chillag, and the executive producer of WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is Mike Danforth.

Now, panel, what is next for Bill O'Reilly? Faith Salie.

FAITH SALIE: He's going to create a dating app cum food delivery service called Falafely (ph) Good.

SAGAL: Mo Rocca.

MO ROCCA: Desperate and alone, his reputation in tatters, O'Reilly will turn to the Lord - commentator Jeffrey Lord, who will get him a job at - where else? - CNN.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: He'd fit in well. And Jeff Garlin.

JEFF GARLIN: He's going to open his own hypo (laughter) - this isn't even worth it. He's going to open his own hypo (laughter) - he's going to open his own hypoallergenic pumpkin patch. It's the future. It's a pumpkin patch with no hay.

SAGAL: Yeah.

GARLIN: And Bill will just show you around the different pumpkins and your allergies will be just fine.

ROCCA: That actually sounds great.

GARLIN: He's been talking about it for years. If you read the afterword in any one of his history books it's right there. He talks about his dream.

ROCCA: Hypoallergenic pumpkin patch.

BILL KURTIS: Well, if any of that happens, we're going to ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.

SAGAL: Thank you to Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Faith Salie, Mo Rocca and the remarkable Jeff Garlin. Thanks to all of you for listening. I'm Peter Sagal. We'll see you next week.
