2003 Irv Kupcinet Tribute / Chicago Sun-Times / Celebrity Columnist, TV Pioneer:
$9.99

“KUP’S CHICAGO,” a 12-page tribute section in the Chicago Sun-Times, the newspaper for which the legendary columnist and TV talk-show pioneer wrote for decades.

Kupcinet (1912-2003) was a football quarterback who, upon his graduation from Northwestern, was signed by the Philadelphia Eagles, but saw a shoulder injury cut his career short.

He started writing sports for a Chicago newspaper in 1935, and also kept up a column on Chicago night-life that officially became known as “Kup’s Column” when the Sun-Times was established in 1948. It would eventually be distributed to more than 100 newspapers around the world.

He was a ground-breaker in TV talk shows, filling in for Steve Allen on the original version of “The Tonight Show,” then starred on his own talk show from 1959 to 1986, syndicated to over 70 television stations and earning 15 Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award.

The tribute section contains essays about Kupcinet from eight Sun-Times superstars, including Roger Ebert, Jay Mariotti, Steve Neal, Richard Roeper and Michael Sneed.

12 pages.

Tabloid measures 11” x 14 ½”.
