In celebration of St Patrick’s Day in Chicago, WGN-TV’s morning news broadcast their show live from the Emerald Loop in downtown Chicago. When WGN asked me to appear on the program, I jumped at the chance. Hey – who wouldn’t want to appear on Chicago’s highest rated news show?

In past years, I’ve magically cooked an Irish breakfast out of balloons,
I’ve rubbed a balloon leprecaun’s tummy to earn a wish, and I’ve even jousted with Pat Tomasulo… but for 2012, I had a truly special surprise in store for WGN viewers.

If you missed our appearance at the 8 am hour, I’ve posted the video clip below. It’s just a minute in length – but I can promise you it’s one surprising minute!
