Dear Steve,
At Chicago Tonight, the opinions of our viewers are truly important to us. We’d like to invite you to take part in an important survey to assist our continuing efforts to make Chicago Tonight as enriching as possible. As an extra way of saying thank you, the first 40 people to respond will win a family pass (general admission for any combination of 4 people) to the Museum of Science and Industry, which is presenting the time-honored holiday tradition, Christmas Around the World and Holidays of Light, now through January 9. To make your voice heard, please complete the survey by December 1. It will take only about 10 minutes. Please note that your responses to this survey will not be shared with any other organizations. Thank you very much for your support of Chicago Tonight. Sincerely, WTTW and the Chicago Tonight Team.

The Cubs’ Crappy Undercover Boss

By Steve Rhodes

Even I’m amazed every week at how Undercover Boss reveals just how out of touch America’s corporate suite is with the companies they run and the employees they rule over. Are they really so clueless about their own organizations?
Yes. Yes they are.
And the latest case in point really hits home: Cubs co-owner Todd Ricketts looked as if he’d never worked a hard day in his life last night.
