I was in Orlando last night with Wait Wait Don't Tell Mell Me. It was a fantastic audience, which led to a show I think will make you laugh.
Love it when you’re on Wait Wait ๐๐๐
I also heard your name in a podcast by Tom Scott called Lateral thinking. You were brilliant in the podcast.
Paula, you were in rare form Thursday night at the live performance of WWDTM! I've seen you perform in person four times now, and your wit (sometimes with meandering stories) always delivers a hilarious punchline. You did not disappoint Thursday! Sorry you lost on game points that night, but you scored on comedy!!
I was there and the laughter you delivered was so needed in our lives. Thank you for being you, Paula!
See you tonight at the Fitzgerald in Saint Paul, Minnesota ๐๐
It was all Eric’s fault๐คฃ๐คฃ. Great show!!
Thank you for coming to Florida, we’re not all crazy tho the folks in the Governor’s mansion make it look that way
Will be listening tomorrow morning with my family!!โค๏ธ
You are my favorite WWDTM personality! โค๏ธ
I was at the show and had a great time! Poor Eric. ๐
Always does when you’re on!
Always laugh when you're on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me !
We listen to WWDTM streaming in the car. We have a drive Mon to our new home. Stressful time & looking forward to listening to it as a stress relief! Loved seeing you at Goucher a couple of years ago!
Yes, it was a great one!
I personally NEED A LAUGH thx Paula
You always add a lot to that show, Paula.
Dang. Missed it.
I love you on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me!!!!
Can't wait, I love it when you are on the panel! ๐
You can probably listen to it later on npr. My children tell me that it’s possible to download stuff like that pretty easily
Paula's the BEST on WWDTM ๐๐๐
I saw “Orlando” and my brain interpreted the following show name as “Walt,Walt Don’t Tell…”
Terrific, as always๐๐ป๐
See you April 10!!
It did!

The cats..River, Basil, Luna, Miso and Doyle loved it and are stoned. But, gotta be honest..they're not happy drunks. Pretty feisty and tussling with each other. Must be Chinese catnip? ๐คฃ๐
Had a great time at the St Paul show! Thank you for staying afterwards to sign autographs, Paula! I was so happy to be able to meet you!
My side still hurts from the laughs! Thank you for a wonderful show!
It was a fantastic show. My name is (not) Paula. Also, as a transplant who spent 5 yrs in MA (still miss Boston), I very much appreciate all the outsider humor. Cheers!
Loved the show tonight! Thank you for coming to MN!
We're here! Looking forward to it! We turned in the MN heat for ya! A balmy 42!
Excellent show and to answer your next question, my name is not Paula.
See ya tonight!!! ๐๐
We loved the show!!! Nurse, but not named Paula.
Dear PAULA POUNDSTONE, mother of three children here. Just wondering if your mother was in fact, ever able to have nice things.
Got home with the catnip pouch. Stormy gave Thunder the what for!
Wish you could see this. Going on in Minnesota tonight! Thanks for the respite!
Great show. Thank you for exceeding expectations - The Walleye Guy
Waiting!
This is vile and more vile. Who would want to kiss something knowing what all the feet that go across it.
…I think he’s got a little tongue on it…I could be wrong
Dr. Oz needs to get his roots done.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND THANK YOU & YOUR DOGS๐๐คฉ๐ฅณ๐ฅฐ
such a disgusting and worthless person
Hasn’t Oz been in the industry long enough to know he needs to color his roots before someone takes a photo?
Fake News, don't stoop to his level
Is that his tombstone ?
Nailed it.
I think he kissed several more things...
Pictured: the steaming growler.
Fake photo, but the hair dye job looks legit.
This is just sickening.
If I was his wife I would never kiss those lips again.
FFS! Have a little dignity!
I saw a photo of the star being completely destroyed. Is that current or was it replaced?
Made me laugh out loud ๐คฃ
I adore you!
Good dog!
I love you , Paula !!!๐๐๐
Why does he have a star?
You, my dear, are a national treasure!
We all know how Jonestown ended
He needs to touch up his dye job.
I hope so!!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
They're not coming to help. They're not on our side.
Sadly no one in that party is listening.
I've been trying to write a letter to the editor of my local paper with that same plea. The challenge is trying not to sound too insulting, because just under the surface I think they're all racist, hate-filled morons like their Führer. (Well, not so much under the surface as exploding my brain.)
I have some Republican friends who see him for what he is. They didn’t vote for him this time. But those that did are a lot cause. Until it affects them they can’t see how all of this is bad.
Yeah, good luck with that! Sadly, they are not brave enough to do anything.
Every one of the Republicans are afraid. And not just for them but for their families. They all know (by his already trying to dismantle the doj, and blatantly going after lawyers and their firms who filed charges against him, claiming that he can undo pardons that Biden put in place) everything he is doing is against every fabric of what our forefathers held as true. But the hate that he ignited in people will be hard to extinguish. Domestic violence is rising, people now feel emboldened to spew their hate on whoever they deem less than. The hate in this country is palpable and nauseating
Yes please!! Grow a backbone!
They are getting paid too much to do anything.
They are afraid of him.....though the Republican senator from Alaska is now speaking out
I agree, Paula, we are going to need as many of us Americans as possible to stop this bloke!
Sadly, it is too late He is throwing out the Constitution-
They are too scared or in too deep
If anyone thinks things were going well before, then…
You really are a comedian
Not going to happen.
How about Congress DO YOUR Jobs. The OATH.
Course correction. Unfortunately the prior administration set everything into motion.
They Not Like Us.
Unfortunately there is no Republican party anymore.
They won’t
They kissed the ring. It’s too late. He owns the DOJ and majority of SC. Where is the back up military/CIA and anyone that knows 3 branches must not become one?! How is it possible they all scurried to their fancy homes and think..well, my own life is ok so I’m not going to look. I think that’s the plan with them. Act as if nothing is happening.
Democrats aren’t doing much either.
Asleep at the wheel
How?
They are terrified of him….they have no balls..

Awesome!
I remember the white go go boots!!
You have the very best life PAULA POUNDSTONE. What an absolute joy to see Nancy on stage again with such a fantastic back up band...thank you so much. Now I can't get that song out of my head.
Hey Paula!! Oh, I loved this so much! What a treat to hear Nancy singing her anthem! So nice that you have a new friend. Sweet people flock together!!
Very cool ๐
This made my shopping experience so much better.
Frustrating I know, but probably done to decrease shop lifting. I feel bad for retailers. But for us older women, the person with the key needs to come on roller skates.
Anytime a company says "We have made exciting changes to enhance your experience" I know things are about to get much worse.
It's shopping, not Disneyland. I don't need it to be enhanced. Unlock the d**** bathrooms.
Given you can never find an associate, maybe those mile long receipts will come in handy
I save 100% on days that I avoid stores with this enhanced shopping experience.
That’s where they keep the razor blades now.
last year I went into the bathroom at a store I shop at frequently and there was a girl sitting on the floor in one of the stalls doing heroin. I felt instantly sick and they had to call an aide car for me.
I won’t even go in a store unless the restrooms are locked! /sarcasm
You don't want to know what would have happened if they were unlocked!
I thought about peeing on the floor in the KY County Clerk’s office today. The restrooms were blocked off by a gate saying “employees only” and I had to wait a damn hour to get my car tags renewed. Employees only! I think paying taxes makes me an employee.
I no longer go to stores that lock their bathrooms
So…pee in the corner of the store…much better shopping experience
My favorite is when you are using the toilet and the lights automatically go out leaving it pitch dark.
Get the Depends.
Well, it is Hemet the shenanigans going on in unlocked restrooms here couple "guys" ran a pretty much full time business at the Hemet Library I swear
Ah, that smell of fresh pee as you enter.
The key is attached to the Sucrets display
Nothing completes my shopping experience than running around the store with my legs crossed looking for a sales associate.
Peeing in the aisle always enhances everyone's shopping experience!
Where's the bucket?
It's good to have the focus that a sense of urgency brings, especially in the consumer arena.
Clean up on aisle 9! ๏ฟผ
having seen SO MANY bored children's defacing mirrors, walls, floors and ceilings (yes!), I understand the owners' logic. Owners, please keep the all-mighty Keeper of The Room Key very close; some of us have body problems that need near-immediate room access. So many times this means leaving for home if we have to hunt down The Key.
Unlocked restrooms make my shopping experience so much harder!
Yep, I had to get a code for the bathroom at Panera yesterday. So many criminals there I guess.
I am in heaven!
A very special guest, indeed! Comedy geniuses, both of you.
Me too! & I wasn't there. Always look on the bright side of life.
That's how I felt when I met you, too!
So wonderful!!!!
Love you both!!
So nice meeting YOU yesterday!
Love this for you! Love you both!
Love Eric Idle!
I bet you’re both having fun! Bless you!!
Thid is amazing. ๐ฎ So happy for you!!! ๐ฅฐ
I would pay so much money to listen to a conversation between the two of you.
So awesome!
Ermahgerd!! So exciting ๐๐๐
I opened for you once, and Eric Idle responded to a couple of my tweets to him, so we're basically family.
I love this photo soooooo much!
Awesome! Love you both so much for the mental attitude adjustments you have provided through the years. โค๏ธ๐ฅณโค๏ธ๐ฅณ
Who is he?
I love that guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looove seeing your two smiling faces together! ๐ฅฐ
Lotsa funny right there, 2 brilliant comics!
Last night was AWESOME ๐ฅ
I had tickets to see him in Portland, Oregon, last year but, sadly, the show was canceled. I’m still hoping to see one of my favourite Pythons live and person someday soon!
How fun!!!!
โค๏ธ๐
See? I told you you were funny!
Iโm about to tell โem in San Ramon, California.
Tell 'em to get you a chair!
Paula, you were fantastic! Enjoyed the plush *high school* venue. Have enjoyed your wildness since I lived a few blocks from “The Other Cafe.” Seems a lifetime ago. Fun times. Some things change but you are still so funny. Thanks for the show.
You were great, as usual!
They did not understand the assignment.
Wow, you R multi talented being able to sit in a two-legged stool and all. ๐
We’re looking forward to seeing you tonight in Pittsburg!
That’s the best we could do for you, seating-wise, here in the Bay Area?! Come to Oakland - I’m sure we could do better.
I am assuming/hoping there is a third leg in that thing.
Looking forward to seeing you in Pittsburg, and I’m not talking Pennsylvania!
Great show tonight! Thanks Paula.
Poor little lonely stool. Needs a hug and relocation to find it's family?
Well, at least it’s padded.
Man ! I wanted to go to this one !!!
Oh God. Your back. I have been a massage therapist fir 35 years. Good luck on you quads too. Jeez
Stool sample
Eesh! Accomodations not .
Weak. I would be inclined to leave a different kind of stool.
Apparently the can not afford a chair!
Well it's a nice color anyway
Wait, they can't even afford a chair with a BACK on it???? Come to Northern Michigan......we'll give you a recliner!! With a pillow. And Cherry PopTarts.
They had a guest chimpanzee who loved that stool.
No duct tape....nice!
You tell 'em Paula!!!!
I'm going back to Washington D.C. to protest in a few weeks. I know the world may have changed a lot by then, but that's my plan. Any poster ideas?
Serve the needy, not the greedy.
Vote Morals not Money
Make America a Democracy Again.
Unsupervised female!
You’re astute and articulate comedian. I give you permission to speak for me! ๐คฉ
There’s Nothing Funny About Fascism
Save the postal service
Something's happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear!
Felons belong in jail, not the Whitehouse
Probably wait until closer to the time, there will be 50 new things by then
Of the people, For the people, By the people .... Not a petulant felon king.
Forest Rangers Are Not The Enemy
TUCK FRUMP (In bold letters) Education is a terrible thing to waste (In smaller letters)
Don’t turn America into a joke
Things are so bad I need a dry erase board for my protest sign.
Are you following 50501? Always great poster ideas there!
“I can’t believe I have to do this again.”
It’s so bad even the introverts are out protesting!
Congress, DO YOUR JOBS

This episode was HILARIOUS
Face-lift looks nice.
As a little kid I fantasized that I would someday be rich. I wanted a pool that I could swim in, beside a pool that housed my otter and seal. I never dreamed of being rich to keep others down, not pay my share, or buy politicians.
(By the way I don't have any pools, otters or seals, and I'm not rich)
But you are loved and that is worth more than $$
But you have cats which is just as good.
There are different kinds of rich. You've already made it to the kind that makes life better for others. Thank you.
"Rich" has a lot of definitions but I'm with you on the otter and seal pool thing ๐
You are rich in character, and have enriched many lives! ๐ฆฆ
Because you are not a greedy narcissist. And we are grateful for you.
Keep working for that otter Paula, we believe in you! Here are the otters that live at my workplace
I love that you are there for the un-pooled otter and seal community.
Paula, Of course you’re rich!! Look how many of us come to see you and follow you here!! And you make every damn one of us roar with laughter!! ๐ค
But, PAULA POUNDSTONE -- you are rich in cats
I'll come hang out in a puddle in your yard. Will that help? I can't tell if my parents like it when I do that but they throw food at me every now and then. It's usually in a can. Come to think of it, maybe they don't like it. My offer still stands
Paula, thank you for the many "riches " of your wonderful humor that you have shared with all of us! Coming from a Wait wait don’t tell me fan to seeing you in person in our tiny Lebanon NH , your gifts outweigh any wealth , thank you, from a grateful fan!
All I ever wanted was to be comfortable enough with finances to live a good life. No big house, no touch-less furniture, no expensive cars, just health and ordinary happiness.โค๏ธ
You should be rich—-you’re HILARIOUS!!!!
Paula, I knew I could never afford a pool, so I lobbied hard for a stock tank & finally got one. Pretty cheap, super easy to care for, and you could have satellite locations for the seals & otters. I love mine. Google stock tank pools.
Having cats makes you rich
I never wanted to be rich or famous, although I'd prefer wealth if I could pick one. Here's what I want: to own my own home, with ceiling fans, skylights, a fireplace, quiet but not car-reliant, a fenced yard to let a dog out when I'm not up to walking them, and space to put ham radio antennas. It would cost a couple million where I live now, which I clearly don't have, but I don't think it's anything extravagant. The best thing about wealth, I think, would be the ability to give it away. And you can't really enjoy it when your fellow citizens lack food, housing, health care, education, child care, etc.
My condo neighbor had a dog named Porche. After she moved into the condo a friend gave her a kiddy pool so that she had a Porche and a pool.๐ Porche loved the pool and it was just her size since she was a retriever.
You are rich to me. Funny, smart, successful! Saw you live in Indy before Covid, so enjoyed it! You add to the richness of my life!
I wanted a pool and turtles. I don’t have them either.
You are rich in talent, my dear! Been loving your humor for decades!
But you are funny, and you make people laugh and forget their troubles for a while or at least laugh about them. That makes you rich in the best sense of the word.
Otterly ridiculous. But those were the good old days before Citizens United decision changed everything.
If wealth is measured in cats, I’m wealthy beyond means, which is why I haven’t retired.
Rich in stories and children and animals... Pretty rich!
PITTSBURG, CALIFORNIA,
I'll be at California Theatre on Sat., March 15. You know how people say, "It's funny., not ha-ha funny." This IS ha-ha funny!

Trump has agreed to give Ukraine t-shirt cannons, but there are conditions.
I wish I could laugh.
If you or I or anyone tried to require rare minerals from someone for protection. We would be arrested. It’s what gangsters do. It’s called extortion
They can only fire off MAGA shirts made in China!
Me too
Hi Paula…loved you since the Other Cafe…
