You've probably seen WMAQ's pathetic attempt at a Friday Dance, a segment we started here more than a decade ago. Where we incorporate humorous clips from our show, MAQ simply has their staff stand around and dance for the longest two minutes you've ever experienced.
Sadly, they're doing what other stations are doing in Cincinatti and even smaller markets. It is forced. It's lame. It is nothing like what we do and the reason they don't show a montage of fun clips is because they have none to show. There show is void of anything fun or suprising.
Here is a sample of my running list of actual clips from the last month.
It gives you an idea of what you might miss if you tune into channels 7, 5, or Fox (I dont' include 2 because I already know you are not watching them.)
Man in funny hat swigs liquor in demo set
Producer dressed as leprechaun

Today is "Talk Like Shakespeare Day" in Chicago. Perhaps, "Fix 1,000 Pot-holes Day" would go over a little better?

Dean helps Paul out for today's promo. Some fun and "interesting" things in store for tomorrow's Morning Show. Like what? Well you're going to have to tune in to find that out...so tune in!
In this town, a member of the '85 Bears need only have a pulse to find gainful employment or endorsement opportunities. Yet, some of them still don't realize they have the luxury of being selective. Mike Ditka pitching Levitra was bad, but at least it was a national ad campaign, and we'd HEARD of Levitra. The Punky QB has been relegated to the bottom right of pg. 32 in the Chicago Sun Times.
I give you . . . THE BEDROOM MVP!

(Former) Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford is one of the top prospects in the NFL Draft, and it looks like his agent gave him an advance to buy this snappy new suit. But it's what Stafford does in this suit that's truly impressive.

It's accepted that Celine Dion is a cyborg sent back in time to destroy pop music. But now we must form a resistance, as she has set her sights on the NHL (see video). I say, we elect as our leader this foul-mouthed neighbor to the north reporting for Canadian TV (see video following the Celine Dion video)
Viewer Mike Larmon was nice enough to help us with our famous Weather in a Minute stunt Thursday morning. His Cubmobile used to be a taxi in the Philippines or something like that. I nearly took out one of the WGN salespeople’s BMW with the side car.
It’s available for block parties, or bar mitvahs. You can contact him at his office, at Action Ozone Inc. 847-683-7505.

Ana joins Dean and Pat for some promo fun! What's the topic of conversation today? You're going to have to tune in to find out...
I've never understood the logic behind the personalized license plate. What's wrong with a random assortment of letters and numbers? Do you think I'll be OK with you cutting me off because I'm so enamored of your "DAMN IM L8" plates? The answer is NO. I'll just think you're a bigger moron.
The best is when people have their name, followed by 1 or 2 numbers, like TOMMY 19. Usually it's not because the number has any type of significance, but because TOMMY's 1 - 18 were taken. So instead of going with something different, Tommy decides to let everyone know that he was only the 19TH MOST CLEVER person in the state to ask for those tags.
Here's the thing. I'm not completely against vanity plates. I've seen some phenomenally good ones (http://www.coolpl8z.com/top-100-best-vanity-license-plate-ideas.php). Unfortunately, most of the creative minds in our country spend their time writing books, composing symphonies and painting masterpieces.
Not thinking of 8-character witticisms.
Unemployment is a delicate issue in this economic climate. That's why I'd usually refrain from saying someone should lose his or her job- and I will once again.
Instead, I'm calling for the entire San Francisco Giants' marketing department to lose their jobs.
I just returned from Disney World with my family and experienced the magic like never before. During one of those fairytale performances, I was called out of the audience to play "The Beast," (although I felt more like Goofy.)
It was odd dancing with a beautiful woman (Belle) in front of my wife, but she was comforted by the fact that by incorporating this fantasy into the WGN blog, we can write part of the trip off on our taxes.
