We’ll leave the absurd humor on for ya

It took listening to Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! and watching Animaniacs in close proximity to realize that Tom Bodett is not only a regular visitor on my favorite radio news quiz show, but also the narrator of the “Good Idea/Bad Idea” and “Mime Time” segments of my favorite mid-nineties children’s cartoon. What’s more, the hardworking netizens of Wikipedia compiled every GIBI sketch ever aired.

If his voice sounds familiar, that’s because Mr Bodett also voices Motel 6 adverts.
