PETER SAGAL, HOST:
Now, panel, what will this year's October Surprise be? Jessi Klein?
JESSI KLEIN: Herman Cain comes surging back. He wins the whole thing in November. He's our new president.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Paula Poundstone?
PAULA POUNDSTONE: Mitt Romney will get caught on Halloween, dressed as Obama, going house to house saying, as he grabbed candy, "If I'm elected president, I'm going to cancel Halloween."
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: And Tom Bodett?
TOM BODETT: Mitt Romney will strap himself to a hang glider, throw his dog on the roof and lead a flock of geese through the swing states of New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. And then realize, too late, that they're Canadian geese.
(LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE)
BILL KURTIS: And, if any of that happens, panel, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
SAGAL: Thank you Bill Kurtis,
(APPLAUSE)
SAGAL: Thanks also to Jessi Klein, Tom Bodett, and Paula Poundstone, and, thanks to all of you for listening. I'm Peter Sagal, and we will be back with you next week.
