Chicago -- Public Access TV question

Who is that old guy on public access TV -- the one with the insane eyebrows?
You know who I'm talking about.
Is he still on?
Can you post a pic?

Thanks!

No, not JB.
This guy wouldn't know a Beatle if he stepped on one or a Pollard from a Prince. This guy's show was about finance or something boring like that.

I love Jerry Bryant!

He does a talk show, right? With local guests?

If it's the guy I'm thinking of (not knowing his name is going to drive me apeshit), he's been on tv for years and years. Crap.

No.
This is an old guy, in a bad suit, sitting static in a room, spouting strange facts to the camera. But his appearance is so bizarre, that he is completely captivating - and I never really hear a word that he says.

He may or may not have guests, I can't remember.

Paul Kangas? Nightly Business Report?

Nope.
And nope.
Nobody that healthy, or professional-looking.
And I think he is a Chicago-only guy.

I just called my dad to find out, but he's not picking up the phone. I think I know who you're talking about, though.

So.. didja hear from your dad yet, red?

Nope. I just talked to my mom and she said that once he's away from the truck (he's a garbage man) and can actually hear the phone, he'll call back. It's been driving me crazy.

Yo Todd, I just talked to my dad and the guy I'm thinking about is named Sherman Skolnik.

THAT'S HIM! (on the right.)

The picture does not truly do the man justice, however. You really have to see him in action. His eyes pierce right through you...

Yeah, dude's totally crazy looking. My dad was a little surprised that I was calling him in the middle of the day asking about Skolnik of all people. He might think I'm insane now, so I hope it was worth it, Todd. Haha...

When I used to smoke pot, I used to watch him and just be totally mesmerized. My wife would freak out - she just couldn't handle him. Had to leave the room.

It was hillarious (to me).

Is Jerry Bryant the old guy that plays an odd selection of music videos(i.e Wilco followed by Korn)?

A girl that I went to high school with was one of those girls for a while.

Jerry Bryant is the best. About four or five years ago, I caught his xmas run of local concert footage. Lots of local acts and about 48 hours of footage. I emailed him and begged him to let me buy/trade some stuff and he did an "lol" and that was that.
