Being a TV Weatherman just turned sucky!

Do you watch local news or national news?

I hardly ever watch CNN or FOX NEWS, I just find it to be droll, it's so "corporate" whereas the local channels are little more "casual Friday" Especially Channel 9 - WGN in the Morning. The News team is crack ups, there's the really cute Larry Potash, the hilarious Robin Baumgarten who comes across as one of those people that you could hang out with on a Saturday afternoon drinking Margarita's and chasing boys, there's the hottie frat boy Sportscaster Pat Tomasulo (all I can say is that the picture on his bio page doesn't do him justice at all.) I don't even like Sports but I'll watch it when he reads it. There's the "He's Gotta be Gay" Entertainment Report Dean Richards, he's got a great voice and you know he would just camp it up! I saw him at Costco once, it wasn't until after I cruised him that I realized who he was....oops... Finally there's the Weather Man....the uber hottie Paul Konrad....oh daddy!

It's fun to watch them because they have fun doing the show, they do a very professional job but you can tell they're having fun while they do it. Roseanne Tellez used to be on channel 9 and she was hilarious, but then she got a job with Channel 2 and suddenly she can't laugh any more...it's sad to see.

Back to the Weatherman, the whole crew likes to have fun doing the show and lots of times they'll play around with Paul while he's doing the weather on the Greenscreen wall. You know things like projecting a big bug or things like that, just funny things.

Well this evening I was watching the 6:00 News and Tom Skilling was doing the weather....only he was in front of a big plasma screen, he wasn't in front of the greenscreen.

I just hope to goodness that Paul Konrad stands up and tells them he's not gonna use the plasma for the morning show.......they'll ruin what fun it was to actually grow up and be a Weatherman on TV. I mean why else would you grow up to do the Weather, although it is a great job - you can be really wrong and people still like you. I wish I could be right 50% of the time at work and my boss would be cool with it.....hey........that's what I wanna be when I grow up...A Weatherman!
