Now, panel, what will be the next hilariously terrible thing to happen to some rich people? Luke Burbank.
LUKE BURBANK: In a tragic turn of events, next year's Fyre Festival will go off without a hitch, meaning these rich people will end up attending a Ja Rule and Blink 182 concert that isn't canceled.
(LAUGHTER)
SAGAL: Paula Poundstone.
PAULA POUNDSTONE: They - this is a terrible thing, an awful thing that I would love to see happen to rich people. They will pay their fair share of taxes.
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
SAGAL: And Roxanne Roberts.
ROXANNE ROBERTS: Erectile dysfunction will now be a pre-existing condition.
(LAUGHTER)
ROBERTS: And Viagra will cost $10,000 a pill.
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
BILL KURTIS: Well, if any of that happens, we'll ask you about it on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.
SAGAL: Thank you, Bill Kurtis. Thanks also to Paula Poundstone, Luke Burbank and Roxanne Roberts. And thanks to all of you for listening. I am Peter Sagal. And we'll see you next week.
