Paula Poundstone

Known for her honesty, and an off-kilter view of the world, Paula Poundstone's ability to create humor on the spot is legendary. Whether she's talking about politics or being a single working Mom with three kids, her quirky observations and spot on timing have earned her the reputation of being one of the best comics working today. Armed with nothing but a stool, a microphone and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula's spontaneity and razor-sharp wit have made her one of the most popular panelists on NPR's hilarious weekly news quiz show, 'Wait Wait & Don't Tell Me,' as well as making frequent appearances with David Letterman, Jay Leno, and several solo comedy specials on HBO.
