"Orange is the New Black" Author Piper Kerman Announced as VIP Guest for NPR's "Ask Me Another" At the Fitz

Sep 17, 2013

Piper Kerman, whose bestselling memoir inspired the hit Netflix series Orange is the New Black, will be the VIP guest at an upcoming taping of Ask Me Another, the weekly quiz show produced by NPR and WNYC.

Hosted by comedian and storyteller Ophira Eisenberg, the rambunctious show blends brainteasers and local pub trivia night-style questions with comedy and music. House musician Jonathan Coulton provides a spontaneous soundtrack alongside the show's lineup of puzzle gurus as the crew serves up trivia for the night's contestants and guests.

With Kerman and Minnesota's own resident film buffs, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett, as VIPs, the show will make you stretch your brain and laugh out loud.
