Adam Krueger is filling in on NewsNation's "Morning in America" for the next few days, but it's not his first foray into national television.
"It’s an exciting experience," Krueger told mikemcguff.com after his Friday broadcast in Chicago. "While the venue is different, I’m still doing what I do: talking about the weather while having fun. The staff here has been very supportive. Sneaking words in the weather? No problem! Much like the management at CW39, they welcome the creativity."
Krueger fills in once again for NewsNation Monday morning.
Fresh Prince in the weather? Challenge accepted! 😎 @NewsNation @newsnationam pic.twitter.com/FHfhHutpHa

As for previous national exposure, after the CW39 Houston KIAH chief meteorologist for "NO WAIT WEATHER + TRAFFIC" got a shoutout from Snoop Dogg for sneaking his lyrics into the forecast, Krueger was featured on CBS' "The Talk."
Krueger started his "Sneaking words in the weather" TikTok challenge, where he asks the audience for lyric suggestions to slip into a weathercast, and it has had a "probability" of 100% virality!
Clearly KIAH's Nexstar Media Group sister network noticed and now he's in Chicago going coast to coast.
Now this is not his first cable experience, as Krueger joined CW39 from Spectrum News in 2020.
You don't see Houston TV meteorologists get a chance to fill-in on national programming often, but it has happened once before that I can remember.
Former abc13 KTRK morning meteorologist and current city council candidate Casey Curry filled in on ABC's Good Morning America in 2011.
