Roxanne Roberts after a broadcast of Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

Roxanne M. Roberts (born 1954, in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a style writer for the Washington Post. She shares "The Reliable Source" column with Amy Argetsinger.[1] She is a regular panelist on the NPR quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!.

In 2000, Roberts appeared on the "In" list in Washingtonian magazine.

In 2009, Roberts received some media attention for her role in the gatecrashing incident at the first state dinner under the presidency of Barack Obama. She informed two Whitehouse staffers that the Salahis were not on the official guest list, and was apparently the only person who caught the mishap that night. However, her suspicions were not acted on, which furthered the image that the white house staff at the event had handled the situation incompetently.
