Adam Kluger Public Relations (AKPR) () announced Friday, at a 60th birthday Friar's Club gala honoring veteran television personality Bill Tush, that the NYC-based PR agency has been retained to help manage the former CNN Sr. Entertainment Correspondent's new projects and future bookings. "AKPR is ecstatic that Bill Tush, the original face and voice of entertainment news on CNN and a beloved cable television pioneer, has asked us to assist in this exciting new phase of his illustrious career," said AKPR founder, Adam Kluger. "Whether Bill is emceeing a VIP event for a Fortune 500 company, adding his golden voice to a radio spot or bringing his off-beat sense of humor to TV commercials for companies that range from Honda to Hawaiian Tropic, Bill Tush is always the consummate professional." Tush, who started out in radio in the 1970's, joined forces with a young entrepreneur named Ted Turner at his struggling Atlanta based television station WTCG Channel 17. There, Tush became everything from newsman to commercial spokesman and eventually the original face and voice of WTBS Superstation and CNN. In 1980, he was the host of a ground-breaking one hour comedy show called Tush! before settling into the role of anchor and correspondent for CNN Showbiz Today and CNN Showbiz This Week. Since leaving CNN in 2002, after 28 years, Tush has become a popular corporate spokesperson and voice-over artist. Tush has also found time to interact with his loyal fan base around the globe through his website, . "Bill's contribution to television comedy continues to be re-examined by old and new fans alike," adds Kluger, "as classic clips of Bill's critically acclaimed WTBS sketch comedy show "Tush!" and quirky commercials remain a popular staple and topic of conversation on YouTube." Bill Tush is available for local, regional and national radio and television appearances, commercial spokesperson, voice overs, speaking engagements and as an emcee for special and charity events.
