Emmy Award-winning journalist Bob Wallace didn’t just tell a good story. He lived it.
From scaling down a suburban water tower and ice skating with Disney characters to swinging on a trapeze in a skin-tight blue suit and riding atop the wing of an airplane, Wallace was the real-life Walter Mitty, a fictional character who went on crazy adventures in his day dreams. He became known for his renowned storytelling abilities and performing, at times, life-threatening stunts for the sake of entertaining Chicagoans through their television screens.
Wallace, who worked at CBS 2 for more than two decades before becoming the host of former Mayor Richard M. Daley office’s public information show, “Chicago Works,” died April 28 after contracting the coronavirus, his former television station confirmed Wednesday. He was 80.
