In the 1960s, Jerry G. Bishop jocked at WCFL. In 1969 he became the unseen host of Screaming Yellow Theater, a Friday night horror movie program on WFLD-Channel 32. He gradually turned the voice into a zany on-screen character named Svengoolie. Bishop also at worked at WMAQ-AM and WMAQ-TV before moving to San Diego, where he worked in radio and television and opened two restaurants. Bishop died on September 15 at age 77.

Bishop traveled with the Beatles---perhaps some of you have heard of them---during their 1965 and 1966 US tours.
