Suzanne Le Mignot serves as CBS2 Chicago's weekend news morning anchor and weekday reporter. Le Mignot joined the station in 1995 as a freelance reporter and became a full-time reporter in 1999. She has covered a wide variety of stories, with a particular concentration on community related events, including serving as a news correspondent for CBS2′s Southside neighborhood newsroom from 1999-2000. Prior to joining CBS2, Le Mignot was a news anchor and reporter for WBBM-AM Newsradio 780 (1994-99).

In 2007, LeMignot was honored by The Associated Press in the hard news feature category for her investigative report entitled "Tracking Your Security." Her investigation uncovered that bomb-sniffing dogs at Chicago's Metra train stations could not detect the passing scent of explosives. As a result of that story, Illinois passed a law that requires dog handlers to undergo 180 hours of rigorous training and to pass a new state exam. The report also earned LeMignot a Peter Lisagor Award in the in-depth reporting or series category and a Herman Kogan Award from the Chicago Bar Association. Le Mignot has won several other industry awards: a local and national Emmy for her breaking news reports on the Blue Line derailment (2008); a local and national Emmy Award for her breaking news reports about the death of Pope John Paul II (2005); the Illinois Broadcasters Association Silver Dome Award (1997); two Peter Lisagor Awards (1994 and 1996) and the National Association of Black Journalists Leadership Award, while a student (1993).

PAWS visits Chicago area schools, using the program to teach elementary school children about the importance of nurturing animals. The program is also used by the Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago. Le Mignot has served on the Board of Directors of the Better Boys Foundation. The organization provides educational assistance to boys and girls in the North Lawndale community on Chicago's west side. Le Mignot is the recipient of the National Civil Rights Library 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award for her work in journalism. In 2017, she was inducted into the National Civil Rights Hall of Fame. In 2017, Le Mignot also received the "We Dream in Color" Michelle Obama Humanitarian Award for her reports that led to positive change in the lives of those who have endured challenging times. In 2019, Le Mignot won first place in the Chicago Journalists Association Sarah Brown Boyden Award Competition in the Public Service category for her "Misidentified Man" series of reports. The day before Le Mignot received the award, Senate Bill SB2309 was introduced on November 14, 2019. The bill would make fingerprinting and DNA testing mandatory in John and Jane Doe cases in Illinois. In 2021 she received The Shantieya Smith "We Fight for Her Award" by MOVE and YOVE (Mothers Opposed to Violence Everywhere and Youth Opposed to Violence Everywhere) for her reports bringing attention to missing and murdered black girls and women in Chicago. She was also chosen by Better Magazine in 2021 as one of the top 10 Black Women of Impact in Chicago and chosen by the America Nation Multicultural World Foundation as the 2021 Multicultural Woman of the Year.

Born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, Christine Errico has had more than 20 surgeries, was bullied in school and was told that she would never amount to anything because of her facial difference. She faced workplace discrimination and struggled with self worth, self-confidence, and self acceptance. To get to where she is today, Christine developed resilience, self-confidence, and learned to accept her appearance. After earning her PhD in accounting, Christine worked as a college professor for more than 12 years before becoming a certified confidence coach . She works with clients who have a cleft lip and palate or parents of children with a cleft lip and palate to help them improve their self-acceptance and self-esteem. As an advocate for the cleft lip and palate community, Christine volunteers with Smile Train and shares her experiences growing up with a cleft lip and palate in her TEDx Talk and through motivational speaking.

Phil and David follow their special Oscar Week episode with Jimmy Kimmel with this never not funny "Lunch" with another hilarious Jimmy -- their friend Jimmy Pardo who has hosted both of them on his own popular and long standing podcast called "Never Not Funny." Phil and David discuss how they each first came to know Jimmy, then seek some advice about keeping a podcast alive and well. Jimmy tells a great horror story about his worst moment as a stand up comedian, working for a record company and nearly opening for Elton John, and his Pardcast-A-Thon charity event to benefit Smile Train. Jimmy also shares the less than wild story about getting cut out of the movie "Dreamgirls," while David tells his own tale about getting cut out of the movie "Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping," while producer Will Sterling explains what it felt like to get edited out of an episode of "This Is Us." Phil then offers his power producer perspective and tries to make everyone feel better. All this and tasty salads and sandwiches from Oui Melrose. To learn more about building community through food and "Somebody Feed the People," visit the Philanthropy page at philrosenthalworld.com.
