Brad Holbrook on the Onion
Holbrook plays "Jim" for the Onion
Check it out: former WRGB anchorman Brad Holbrook, who hosted the evening news with Liz Bishop from 1998 to 2001, is now one of the hosts of The Onion's fake morning show Today Now. (Here's a clip with the "author" of a no-food diet book.)
It seems like Holbrook has been headed in this direction since leaving Ch 6. He's appeared as a reporter on Law & Order -- and he's also played a doctor on two different soap operas. He's made a movie appearance, too -- in the remake of The Manchurian Candidate from a few year's back.
Funny thing, though: his IMDB resume doesn't list his time at WRGB.
(Thanks, Kristi!)

Is this the same Brad Holbrook that used to read the evening news on WPIX (was it channel 11?) in New York during the mid eighties? It was the only watchable news bulletin on US television (speaking as a European) strange to see he's now an actor.
