Get ready for a night of laughter, music, and unexpected twists! Imagine a live show blending comedy, trivia, and the mesmerizing sounds of a ukulele virtuoso—all under the Hawaiian sky. That's exactly what happened on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! for October 11, 2025, recorded live in Honolulu with the incredible Taimane. But here's where it gets even more exciting: this isn't just any episode—it’s a unique blend of humor, competition, and musical brilliance that you won’t want to miss.
Hosted by the witty Peter Sagal, the show features guest judge and scorekeeper Alzo Slade, alongside panelists Joyelle Nicole Johnson, Paula Poundstone, and Peter Grosz. The star of the evening? Ukulele sensation Taimane, who not only dazzles with her musical talent but also takes on a quirky challenge in the Not My Job segment. Ahead of her tour, Taimane—a two-time Nā Hōkū Hanohano Favorite Entertainer of the Year (2019 and 2023)—plays a game called "Mini Guitar; Meet Mini Golf," answering questions about, you guessed it, miniature golf. And this is the part most people miss: it’s not just about the laughs; it’s about seeing how a world-class musician handles completely unrelated trivia!
The episode is packed with highlights: from Who's Alzo This Time segments like "Fly The Frenzied Skies" and "Cocoa Cutting" to Bluff The Listener, where panelists spin tales about controversy at Hallmark (only one is true!). Alzo Slade also delivers hilarious news-related limericks, and the team predicts the next big controversial song on Taylor Swift’s album. But here’s the controversial part: can a ukulele virtuoso really outsmart mini golf trivia? And does it matter if she can’t?
