The @waitwait that aired 4 years ago today was their special 20th anniversary show recorded at the Chicago Theatre. Instead of having the usual 3 panelists, the show featured 15 panelists assigned to 5 different panels. 🎧: npr.org/programs/wait-wait-dont-tell-me/661109520/wait-wait-dont-tell-me-turns-20?showDate=2018-10-27 📝: stats.wwdt.me/shows/2018/10/27

The way the Lightning round was handled was also different than a normal @waitwait. To incorporate all 15 panelists, 3 teams were created and each were headed by the panelist with the most losses. Questions were asked down each team, with one question per panelist.

I had the opportunity to go to the taping of the show and wrote a post with some additional details, such as the panel rotation and other dazzling deets at: blog.wwdt.me/2018/10/wait-waits-20th-anniversary-live-taping-in-chicago-and-scoring-details/
