Director Hugh Wilson, Creator Of 'WKRP In Cincinnati,' Dies At 74

I LOVED WKRP in Cincinnati. One of my favorite sitcoms of all time.

“He also directed the films Guarding Tess, which starred Shirley MacLaine and Nicolas Cage, and The First Wives Club, with Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton and Bette Midler.”

I thought TFWC was just okay, but I really like Guarding Tess. It’s a Nicolas Cage film I can actually sit through because he’s so funny in it. Incidentally, for anyone who sees it, Hugh Wilson provided the voice of the president on the phone.
