Now you too can sleep on, or autograph, Carl Kassell’s head

This just in, the NPR Store is now offering a Carl Kassell Autograph Pillow and Pen, which it readily admits is an “odd homage” to the longtime NPR newscaster and Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me! scorekeeper and answering machine voice. The item’s existence immediately prompted a heartfelt apology from Cowering NPR on Twitter. The anonymous Tweeter/s also revealed that the eerie-looking pillow is actually last year’s NPR Labs creation.
