The mere fact that John Curley has a job in TV should be proof enough for anyone that there is indeed a god. John was never what you would call a scholar. He has always declared he would have done much better in school if only the child next to him had applied himself a little more. With no formal training John was hired as a weatherman in Grand Junction Colorado. After just six months, he was able to find Colorado on the map without looking. This skill was enough to get him hired in Champaign, Illinios, at WCIA TV. Curley spent only 88 days there and never learned to spell Illinois. Other stops along the career track include Lancaster, PA; Springfield, VA; and Washington, D.C. He picked up an Emmy for weather in 1993 and for interviewing and hosting in 1994.

The zenith of his career was reached in 1995 when he was hired for Evening Magazine on KING TV. John quickly became the most recognized local TV personality and was voted by the readers of Seattle Weekly as their favorite "TV Guy." He's earned numerous awards for his work in the community and in the field of broadcasting. He can be heard on Bon Marche radio spots and seen (unfortunately) in various infomercials. John can also make balloon animals and grow a beard in less than a week.
