Former KPRC 2 anchor big man in Chicago

Remember Rob Johnson the former daredevil 4pm anchor/reporter at KPRC channel 2 in the late 1990s? His TV reports made Evil Knievel look boring.

He is now the main anchor at WBBM CBS 2 in Chicago:

Rob Johnson is the co-anchor of CBS 2's 5:00 PM, 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM weekday newscasts. He also serves as the host of Eye on Chicago, CBS 2's Emmy-Award winning public affairs program that airs every Sunday at 10:30 AM. READ MORE 

When he was in Houston, Johnson drove a car into Galveston Bay to see how quickly he could escape.  I also remember him sitting in a hot car to see what the health effects were.

UPDATE:
Brian uncovered a WBBM lunch controversy.
