I don't know when he had kids. I read an interview with him once in which he was talking about his child (or children.) In fact, now that I think about it, I'm not sure if it was Gene Siskel or Roger Ebert. (But the rest of what I wrote...I'm certain of!) And his wife is as fat as he is.
Siskel had children. But I think Ebert doesn't. His wife is black. They make an interesting, albeit liberal couple.
He's the first, and I think only movie reviewer to receive the Pulitzer for criticism. And he suffered recently from thyroid cancer.
None of this changes the fact he raised up his pudgy thumb for FH911.
Puke.
