Ryan Chiaverini
As cute as a button or hot enough to unbutton? Ryan Chiaverini undoubtedly goes both ways for grandmas and Gammas who have filled up the chairs at the Windy City LIVE! studios since its birth earlier this year in an effort to fill the programming gap once held by Oprah. The heads at ABC were wise to move Chiaverini from the radio-face world of sports anchoring to fresh-faced morning chatter with co-anchor Val Warner. They discuss everything from local news to Chiaverini’s recent knee surgery (we think he wasn’t short of applicants for a bedside nurse).
