Bill Kurtis

Kurtis in 2003 Bill Kurtis (born William Horton Kuretich; September 21, 1940) is an American television journalist, television producer, narrator, and news anchor.

Kurtis was studying to become a lawyer in the 1960s, when he was asked to fill in on a temporary news assignment at WIBW-TV in Topeka, Kansas. His reporting on a devastating tornado outbreak led to a position as on-air news reporter and, later, a successful career as a news anchor in Chicago. He has been noted for his sonorous voice throughout his career. In the early 1980s, he anchored ''The CBS Morning News'' in New York City and became especially interested in investigative in-depth reports and documentaries. When he returned to Chicago and for a time resumed his anchor duties, he also founded a production company, Kurtis Productions.

Kurtis hosted or produced a number of crime and news documentary shows, including ''Investigative Reports'', ''American Justice'', and ''Cold Case Files''. Kurtis is currently the scorekeeper/announcer for National Public Radio (NPR)'s news comedy/quiz show ''Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!'' and the host of ''Through the Decades'', a documentary-style news magazine on Decades (now Catchy Comedy). Provided by Wikipedia
