Year-End News Quiz

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 29, 2016

Have you been paying attention in 2016? Coming up on today's show is the annual end-of-the-year news quiz. This year’s quiz is on everything — except for the presidential election. Compete for WNYC swag by calling in and getting three in a row right. 

MTV News's Jamil Smith and Ana Marie Cox, co-host the first hour. Then, Jake Silverstein, editor of The New York Times Magazine, joins Brian as the news quiz continues with questions about some of the notable people we lost in 2016, including some featured in the magazine's "The Lives They Lived" issue.
