Around The -Ists This Week
Today marks the end of a TV era--the John Curley era. As host of KING 5's Evening Magazine, Curley's perennially perky attitude has hypnotized viewers nightly for the past 14 years. With a prime 7 p.m. time slot, many tuned in to hear Curley's witty interviews and take on the Northwest's quirkiest stories. In the ratings war, he always gave Pat Sajak and his Wheel of Fortune a beatdown for the time slot's top show. With budgets tight among the media business, it's no shock to see Curley signing off--even with great ratings. Curley plans to use his unemployment TV charm wisely, to run for Sammamish City Council, taking a page out of ex-KING 5er Jim Compton's book. We spoke with the folks at KING 5, and they won't have a permanent replacement for Curley (of course, how could you?). Instead other familiar talent (or even an ensemble team) will step in over the next few weeks.

No, they just don't have one planned because they can't find anyone.
Because they've ignored all of my public cries for Curly's spot once he leaves.
Also, it may have hurt me that I have spread all stories my friends have of him ruining their good times.
Bring back Brian Tracey and Penny LeGate!
Ross Schaefer coming back to the NW would be the local tv equivalent to Griffey's return....
"how 'bout that band"
Oh great. Another homophobe in public office.
Has anyone seen his website? He's a motivational speaker now... What in the hell? Maybe he can come back to town, set up a few speaking engagements and a good marketing template and then lose all of his business to John Keister when he decides to pull a David Carusso and host the Late Show on Fox again.
Does anyone remember when he introduced a bill to have the state song changed to 'Louie Louie'? Why in the hell didn't that pass?
And by Homophobe, I hope you're not talking about John Curly - He has routinely been a host at Gay Bingo over the past several years, even going so far to pull his pants down on stage and show off the tattoo on his ass of his ex from college.
Such a homophobe
