Hutch said he got involved in Chicago's Thanksgiving parade because of a film he and co-star Jen Lilley participated in a few years ago.
Hutch said Chicagoans have a lot of exciting things to see in this parade as he was amazed by the different balloons he saw.
"I'm pretty stoked because the balloons are back and they are one of my favorite things," Hutch said.
