'South Side' actor Sultan Salahuddin joins Val, Ryan to talk McGold Cards, Chicago Emmy Awards
CHICAGO (WLS) -- This week on Windy City Weekend, South Side actor Sultan Salahuddin joins Val and Ryan at the desk for Host Chat!
They talk about the anticipated season 3 of HBO's South Side where Sultan plays the series lead, Simon James.
Also, a man got fired from his job in 2014 for being too boring! So, he sued the company and just won big last year.
And, if you could have free food for life from anywhere, where would it be? McDonald's is once again giving out their special McGold cards, which will grant three winners and four of their friends free McDonald's for life!
This weekend, Sultan is hosting the 64th Chicago Emmy Awards. You can watch and stream the Chicago Emmy Awards on Saturday night at 7 p.m. at chicagoemmyonline.org.
You can also watch a live broadcast on CAN-TV (Chicago Public Access - Channel 19) and it's available via live streaming on the Can-TV-Plus app on Roku, Fire TV and Google Play.
