Here's a neat clip from an episode of Wild Chicago - one of their "Dumb Question" segments where they go somewhere and ask random people a question of questionable intelligence. This one took place in Lincoln Park near Diversey.

As I watched this episode and saw this segment I kept going back to this part - that guy in the sunglasses looks familiar...finally it hit me - it's Stephen Colbert!! (of The Daily Show and The Colbert Report fame) You can also see one of his old buddies with him, Paul Dinello, who would appear with him later in the series Strangers with Candy. Steven attended Northwestern University and was also part of the Second City troupe early in his professional life.

I wonder if anyone else has ever discovered this cameo yet, now that he's famous? Do the producers of Wild Chicago even realize?

Featuring Ben Hollis as the host of Wild Chicago.

This aired on local Chicago TV in 1990.
