Bruce Wolf is a veteran Chicago tv and radio personality. He claims to have started his career in the 1940s working as a sound effects man on the radio who made the sound of Jack Benny’s trouser legs rubbing against each other as Mr. Benny sashayed across the stage. But this claim is somewhat doubtful. Also questionable is Mr. Wolf’s claim that he moved to the Soviet Union in the 1950s but was blacklisted because he was a member of the Republican Party. More likely is his claim that he has worked for Fox, NBC and WLUP, among other stops on the tv and radio dials, has won several Emmys and also is an attorney.
When you think of Chicago media, Bruce Wolf is in the top celebrity ranks and grabs an audience with stories about sports legends and TV stars that brings a motivational message which relates to everyone. His presentation is clean and “safe” for all audiences from corporate to social groups.
What do you get when you hire Bruce for your event?
1)
He will research the group he is speaking to (talk to leaders of the group, etc.) so that his presentation can be customized to the group and even to individuals who will attend. He likes to interact with the audience.
2) His presentation can be motivational. He likes to use personal anecdotes as well as quotes from a range of sources including Viktor Frankl’s “Man’s Search for Meaning,” and C.S. Lewis’s “The Screwtape Letters,” which Bruce claims pretty much stand for the same things.
3) To keep it light, Bruce also can tell some stories of his professional experience, ranging from the time he almost disabled Michael Jordan to the time he helped wreck Michael Jordan’s baseball career. He even has stories that don’t involve Michael Jordan.
4) He does have video which can be sprinkled in small doses (from his days at Fox) of him “wrestling” with Jamie Lee Curtis, boxing a female traffic reporter (with Jerry Springer as the referee) and presenting an on-the-street sportscast with Magic Johnson. See, he told you it’s not just about Michael Jordan.
5) There’s also video of him doing a satellite interview with Paul McCartney, where Paul authenticates his signature on letters he sent Bruce’s kids.
6) Bruce has stories about his brief career as a lawyer, including his first trial, where he had no idea what he was doing.
7) He can actually provide karaoke (courtesy of his son the deejay, Brad) and can use it as a threat against hecklers in the audience. “Heckle me and you have to come up and sing a song!” says Bruce.
He can play games with the audience and ask trivia questions involving their organization and other topics.
9) He can be a celebrity auctioneer and entertain and work the crowd.
10) He can turn off the sound on all 16 sets at a sports bar and announce every game simultaneously, without the express written consent of Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the National Hockey League and the Royal Society of Monopoly Players.
11) He doesn’t know how to tap dance, but if you want it, he’ll do it. (And of course fit this new story into future speeches)
