Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me! host Peter Sagal isn’t afraid to play favorites when it comes to Illinois State University’s long roster of celebrity alumni, including Jane Lynch, Laurie Metcalf, John Malkovich, Sean Hayes and Craig Robinson. His favorite right now is Brendan Hunt, who plays Coach Beard on the Apple TV series Ted Lasso. But that’s just because Hunt has agreed to join Sagal during a live episode of Wait Wait that will be taped Nov. 12 at ISU’s Braden Auditorium. Hunt is an ISU theatre grad from 1996.
