Timeout Chicago put up a little post on the Timeout blog about the new WTTW show IL-Informed. They say public television isn’t funny but obviously Madeline has never seen Rick Steeves. I think that dude is hilarious! Or Between the Lions, which is really funny when high. Anyway, here is the review.

Schad was thrilled to be a part of “IL-Informed,” the new WTTW sketch comedy pilot airing on Channel 11 this Sunday at 10.30 pm. One of the bits on the show features a fake Stone Phillips - type reporter named Hassan Ali. This is me as Hassan Ali, with the real Hassan Ali. Hassan is actually a friend of producer Paris Schutz’s and they thought it’d be great if some whitebread douchebag reporter used the name Hassan Ali as his professional moniker. Awesome. Thanks to Hassan Ali for joining the ranks of Schadenfreude characters named after real people: Tony Smaleck, Andy Wahlstrom and Scruffy McMuffin. Tune in this Sunday!
Ok, they don’t love us but they wrote a very nice feature for our upcoming WTTW show “IL-Informed”. The show airs next week on May 4, 6, 7, 10th. It’s really great to be that many times in a week. It makes us feel like we are Coupling or Check Please! Here is the story.
