Prediction

PETER SAGAL, HOST:

Just a minute, we're going to ask our panelists to predict what will be the big surprise out of President Trump's first trip abroad.

But first, let me tell you that support for NPR comes from NPR stations and Lumber Liquidators, a proud sponsor of NPR, offering more than 400 styles, including hardwood, bamboo, laminate and vinyl, with flooring specialists in hundreds of stores nationwide. More at lumberliquidators.com or 1-800-HARDWOOD. The Economic Development Authority of Fairfax County, Va., located near D.C. and home to 8,900 technology companies and 144,000 technology jobs, details at thepowerofideas.org. And LifeLock, reminding consumers that identity thieves can pose as other people, taking over bank accounts, filing fake tax returns or doing other criminal acts, more at lifelock.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 web guru, that's Beth Novey. And this week, we say farewell to our intern Kijin Higashibaba. Kijin spent their first week working next to Tom Hanks, and from there it was pretty much all downhill. But despite that hardship, they proved to be one of the hardest workers, most interesting and curious people and most fashion-forward intern we've ever had. Good luck, Kijin, and remember other workplaces don't talk like we do, so be careful.

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: BJ Leiderman composed our theme. Our program is produced by Jennifer Mills and Miles Doornbos. Technical direction is from Lorna White. Our CFO, that's Ann Nguyen. Our production coordinator is Robert Neuhaus. Our senior producer is Ian Chillag. And the executive producer of WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME is Mr. Michael Danforth.

Now, panel, what will be the big surprise out of Trump's foreign trip? Faith Salie.

FAITH SALIE: To prove he is a friend to the Jews, Trump will fashion his comb over into payos, which he calls his tou-payos (ph).

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: Janelle James.

JANELLE JAMES: The big surprise is he's going to take Melania with him and he's going to bring Melania back. Not the same one - just a younger, hotter chick also named Melania, you know?

(LAUGHTER)

SAGAL: And Tom Bodett.

TOM BODETT: We'll see Sean Spicer unloading the bags from Air Force One. And Toby Keith will be introduced as the new White House press spokesman.

(LAUGHTER)

BILL KURTIS: Well, if that happens, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.

SAGAL: Thank you, Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Faith Salie, Tom Bodett, and welcome to Janelle James, who did a great job in her debut.

JAMES: Yay, I had a great time. Thank you so much.

SAGAL: Thanks all of you for listening. I'm Peter Sagal. We will see you next week.
