CHICAGO, IL — An 8-year-old aspiring standup comedian stole the show Friday when he appeared on WGN Morning News.
Just out of the third grade at Christa McAuliffe Elementary School, Jack McKenna made it onto the Friday Forecast with Paul Konrad.
“Laughs are like potato chips — once you’ve got one, you want another,” Jack explained.
Jack also told Konrad he likes him “way better” than Tom Skilling.
