Van Earl Wright with Alison Lebovitz.(WTCI PBS)

If you’re a longtime sports fan, you’re probably familiar with Van Earl Wright’s larger-than-life presence on the air.

With a broadcasting career spanning more than three decades, he has shared his infectious fandom spirit with audiences on CNN, Fox Sports Net and local stations across the country.

His name, his voice, his catchphrases full of Southern charm make him one-of-a-kind.

These days, you’ll find him on the golf course, enjoying a new chapter: traveling the country as a caddie.

Van Earl Wright is the next guest on “The A List with Alison Lebovitz” - this Thursday at 8:30 PM on our public media partner WTCI PBS.
