Leonard Nimoy was a guest on "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me," NPR's weekly news quiz. Host Peter Sagel is a Trekkie evidently, referencing "Amok Time" and "Devil in the Dark" when interviewing Nimoy, who reacted to all the Spock worship with his usual finesse. There was one reference to Trek (2009) where Nimoy again applauded J.J. and the quality of the film, only confirming that he was one of the actors who would be portraying Spock. In terms of the actual quiz, consisting of 3 questions about Dr. Spock, he only answered 1/3 correct, prompting the announcer to quip that "while Leonard Nimoy answered 1/3 correct, Mr. Spock of course would have answered all of them correctly."
