: Seven Questions with... : Bob Sirott : In this month's edition of "Seven Questions," we chat with Bob Sirott, host of The Noon Show, heard weekdays from 12 to 1pm. : : 1) You've had jobs from Chicago Tonight to NBC 5 to WGN Radio...tell us about some of your not-so-glamorous jobs when you were getting started in the biz. : One of the first assignments I had as an NBC page when I was a senior in high school was schlepping about fifty pounds of newspapers from the street up to the newsroom (then) in the Merchandise Mart. That newsprint is filthy stuff. : : 2) We always see you in ties around the station because of your evening TV gig...How many ties do you own? : I probably have about 250 ties...but about 200 of those are either out of style, or were always too ugly to wear on TV. : : 3) What would your final meal be? : Pizza, hot dogs, an Italian beef, and egg rolls. : : 4) What's your favorite song? : About 300 are tied for first ...but growing up listening to oldies from the 60's (as a teenager) my two favorites were always Spanish Harlem by Ben E. King... and Up on the Roof by The Drifters. : : 5) Where's your favorite place to be in Chicago? : My old neighborhood... Albany Park. Or any place downtown... the real downtown... south of the river. : : 6) Where's the most awkward place someone has recognized you? : Can't recall...but it would probably be during a fight with my wife someplace. : : 7) Who would you love to interview that you haven't yet? : Beatles producer George Martin. I've talked to Paul and Ringo and saw George in concert... but I'd love to talk to Martin. : ("The Voice," WGN's newsletter)
