Comedian, writer, podcaster, and game show host Kurt Braunohler takes off Friday morning from Navy Pier on a wacky adventure for a good cause. Comedy Central will follow Braunohler as he jet skis down the Mississippi River to New Orleans to raise money for Heifer International. He joins us in his wetsuit just prior to takeoff.
