    We just got the heartbreaking news that our dear friend and Score Keeper Emeritus Carl Kasell has passed away. Carl was warm, funny, caring, and put up with our nonsense with a knowing smile and a wink. In a word, he was a gentleman. Love you, Carl. npr.org/2017/05/16/528…

    Hey! We’re off this week, which means it’s the perfect time to catchup on our show. Like this episode from four weeks ago with special guest Sarah Cooper (@sarahcpr)! This episode knows words, it has the best words. 📝

    “The senator’s time has expired” has never felt more appropriate than after John McCain’s set of questions.

    It’s our 24th anniversary today, and we’re celebrating turning 24 in the traditional way: by breaking up with our commitment-phobic boyfriend and asking our stylist to give us bangs that we instantly regret

    It’s an incredi-Bill day, because it’s Bill Kurtis’ 80th birthday!! 🎂🎉 We’re so lucky to have a judge and scorekeeper who knows how to count without using his fingers. Stay classy Bill 😎

    While we self isolate, you can look forward to a new episode of the show this week! Our guest this week makes us laugh and we hope he makes you smile too. It’s Stephen Colbert! He’ll be joined by panelists Luke Burbank, Paula Poundstone, and Maz Jobrani! Now wash your hands! 🧼

    My favorite part of tonight’s #GameofThrones was the 5 minute trailer before the episode for HBO’s new shows, all of which are titled, “SWEET JESUS, PLEASE DON’T CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT.”
