It might have been ‘Today’, but could have been another program. I think he was the weatherman, but I recall he would draw ‘artwork’ for lack of a better word as he gave the weather. I think it was in the past 10 years or so. An older (60ish), short, heavyset chap.
This guy?
Thanks, but no. That chap died over 30 years ago.
Mark McEwan did the weather on several CBS attempts at a morning show. Don’t know about “artwork,” though. That sounds more like a 1960s thing.
There used to be a weatherman here in Austin in the 70’s that made the most beautiful cloud drawings on a paper tablet during his weathercasts. I can’t remember his name now though and Google doesn’t seem to remember the 70’s very well either.
Tulsa had Don Woods who drew a “Gusty” cartoon every night with his weather report.
For many years, through the 1960s mostly, the local CBS affiliate here in San Antonio featured Jim Dawson as the weatherman. This was back when most of the board was drawn in chalk on sliding chalkboards.
Every night after he finished the evening weather report, he would slide a chalkboard away from the end of the one he just showed his weather “map”, and would say "And here are a couple of characters . . . "
It would be a simple , original chalk outline drawing of a couple of people. After the drawing was revealed, he would hesitate a couple of seconds, then say off screen what one was saying to the other.
I know he did this after the local news was done in color, but I will always remember it in B&W.
