I ask little of my weathermen and women. Know your way around the green screen, give me some unexpected adjectives when describing the feel of the temperature, verbally joust with the sports guy, and keep it professional. Meaning, I don't mind if you show me a photo that Maureen Shliegel took of some sunset geese in Crystal Lake, but let's not pretend you're the auxiliary host and start riffing on the real news. That said, I am almost always pleased with the work of Keenan Smith, the backup who holds the clipboard for Tom Skilling on WGN, but seems to be out on his own a bit more on CLTV. Watched him a little last night, and he was upbeat without being grating, descriptive without being flowery, and shot it back over to the main anchor with no wasted motion. Plus, he did a kickass segment on flooding one time where it really looked like he was going to fall into this dam while he was talking to the camera. I like when my weathermen get out in the shit occasionally. Oh, and as you can see from the photo, he participated in the WGN Morning News Bally Spring Fitness 60-Day Challenge with two other employees and lost 40 pounds! (All three of them combined, but still!) All in all, a pleasant option, even if he needs a bit more seasoning.
