Tony Perkins bagging NYC for D.C.

Hollywood Reporter reports the following:

Good Morning America weatherman Tony Perkins will leave the show December 2 to take a job with Fox’s local morning show in Washington, D.C., to be closer to his family.

Perkins, who left Fox affiliate WTTG-TV in 1999 for “GMA” will return to the station that where he worked between 1993 and 1999.

We met Perkins many years ago when he was opening the shows for us at the 23rd Precinct Comedy Club in Crystal City, VA, outside of D.C. Perkins was a competent, likeable weatherman and comedian in the D.C. region before snagging the GMA gig. ABC’s loss is D.C. comedy’s gain… if he chooses to continue with the standup.
