Former President Clinton is a Brony
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
SAGAL: All right, we have invited you here to play a game we're calling?
CARL KASELL, host:
Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle.
SAGAL: So you're a former president, you're a Rhodes scholar, you're famously well informed. What could we be sure that an accomplished person like you would know nothing about? And then the answer came to us: the TV show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic."
(Soundbite of laughter)
SAGAL: Answer three questions, or answer two out of three questions about the wonderful world of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" and you win our prize for one of our listeners, Carl's voice on their home answering machine. Carl, who is President Clinton playing for?
KASELL: The President is playing for Dave Parks of Chico, California.
President CLINTON: Poor Dave.
SAGAL: Poor Dave, I know.
(Soundbite of laughter)
(Soundbite of applause)
SAGAL: So here we go. You ready to do this? One of the current My Little Ponys is Rarity. That is her name, Rarity. What is her particular enthusiasm? A: she loves her little line of toys called My Even Tinier Ponies.
(Soundbite of laughter)
SAGAL: B: giving other ponies makeovers. Or C: eating paste.
(Soundbite of laughter)
President CLINTON: Eating what?
SAGAL: Eating past, sir, Mr. President.
President CLINTON: P-A-S-T-E?
SAGAL: P-A-S-T-E, paste, sir.
President CLINTON: B.
SAGAL: Yes, giving other ponies makeovers. Yes, that is in fact Rarity's...
(Soundbite of bell)
(Soundbite of applause)
SAGAL: Big enthusiasm. Very fashion conscious, our Rarity is. All right, when ponies in Equestria discover their true talents in life, they earn something. What? A tattoo on their flank, known as a cutie mark. B: a title, such as Fluttershy the Inventive. Or C: the right to mate.
(Soundbite of laughter)
President CLINTON: A.
SAGAL: A. You're going to go for A, a tattoo known as the cutie mark? Oh, you're right, sir.
(Soundbite of bell)
(Soundbite of laughter)
(Soundbite of applause)
Ms. JESSI KLEIN (Comedienne): I have to say I think it's probably fair to say this is the highest stake situation President Clinton has ever been in.
SAGAL: I think so.
Ms. KLEIN: In his entire life.
SAGAL: And he's doing so well.
Ms. KLEIN: He's killing it.
SAGAL: That's true.
(Soundbite of laughter)
SAGAL: All right, well let's see if you can be perfect. The ponies' most powerful enemy is which of these? A: Krastos the Glue Maker.
(Soundbite of laughter)
President CLINTON: If he's not, he ought to be.
SAGAL: Yeah, I know. B: the evil pony Nightmare Moon. Or C: the cynical grownup, Chester.
(Soundbite of laughter)
President CLINTON: B.
SAGAL: B, you're going to go for the evil pony Nightmare Moon. You're right, Mr. President.
Mr. BODETT: Wow.
(Soundbite of laughter)
(Soundbite of bell)
(Soundbite of applause)
SAGAL: Nightmare Moon is released in the opening episode from the prison where she's been held for a thousand years, and is only defeated by the ponies working together, and then they have a party.
(Soundbite of laughter)
SAGAL: Carl, how did President Clinton do on our quiz?
KASELL: President Clinton wins again, Peter.
SAGAL: Oh my gosh.
KASELL: He had three correct answers. So the President wins for Dave Parks.
(Soundbite of applause)
SAGAL: Another victory for you, sir. You've done so much. Been elected twice, governor of Arkansas, the youngest governor ever. How does this stack up?
(Soundbite of laughter)
President CLINTON: It's right up there.
SAGAL: All right.
(Soundbite of laughter)
(Soundbite of applause)
SAGAL: President Bill Clinton is hosting the Clinton Global Initiative meeting next week in Chicago, with a focus on job creation right here in the United States. President Clinton, thank you so much for joining us on WAIT WAIT...DON'T TELL ME!
