Chicago’s own Pat Tomasulo — WGN Morning News anchor, comedian, and host of Laugh Your Face Off — joins Pat McGann for Episode 9 of The Pat McGann Show, filmed at Tiege Hanley Studios in Chicago.

They talk about life as a 3:15 a.m. wake-up guy, the chaos of live TV, and covering Chicago sports fans who treat Soldier Field like a frat party. Tomasulo shares stories from his years on WGN, the evolution of local news, and his mission to raise millions for trigeminal neuralgia research through comedy.

Pat and Pat also dive into:
 🎙️ Early mornings, live bloopers, and Chicago hustle
 🏈 Cubs, Sox, and Bears fans behaving badly
 📺 Why “communal viewing” is dead (and Cheers was peak TV)
 🐶 His dog’s two knee surgeries and the car she now owns

🎧 New episodes every week — filmed in Chicago with comics, locals, and special guests.
