Episode 67: Paula Poundstone
from The Backgrounder
Paula Poundstone's observational humor has made her a one-of-a-kind performer on America's stand-up comedy circuit, as well as a popular panelist on NPR's weekly news quiz show "Wait, Wait. Don't Tell Me," (created and hosted by former Berkeley Heights resident Peter Sagal). Poundstone has played in nearly every major venue in New Jersey, and she'll return on June17 to perform at The Levoy Theater in Millville. On this episode, Poundstone gives her perspective of the Garden State (informed by her many gigs here) and says what she believes is the greatest comedy film of all time. Also on this episode, N.J. Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto returns to The Backgrounder to talk about how lawmakers in Trenton reached the recent compromise to rescue Atlantic City from bankruptcy.
