Joel Daly

Joel Daly was a TV news anchor for WLS-TV from 1967 to 2005. He is a household name in Chicago, where he delivered news.

According to Wikipedia, in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Joel and co-anchor Fahey Flynn pioneered a new kind of news delivery, when they incorporated a friendly informal style rather than the traditional monotone.

Over the course of his career, Joel won five Emmy awards, and in 2001 he was inducted into the Chicago Journalism Hall of Fame. He also enjoys yodeling.


Ferris Bueller probably watched Joel Daly.
