Bill Wennington and Chuck Swirsky had no idea what to expect Friday morning when they walked into the Bulls’ offices in the brand-new East Atrium building attached to the United Center. All the Bulls’ radio broadcast team was told was to be there at 10:30 to film something for the team’s Snapchat.
When they walk in, they’re directed to a small, glass-walled office where they’re presented with a script by Billy Bungeroth, the longtime artistic director at Second City, who has been working with the Bulls’ social-media team on these Snapchat shorts all season.
“You don’t have to get this in one take,” Bungeroth tells Swirsky and Wennington as they look over the script.
