His name is Chris Petlak, and Robert Feder has all the details about the man who is replacing Eric Ferguson. This paragraph kind of jumped out at me...
Petlak, who grew up in Mount Prospect and graduated from Prospect High School, began his career as a promotion assistant and social media manager at Hubbard Radio Chicago in 2008. He later moved to Los Angeles to pursue standup comedy. He also created, wrote, produced and starred in “The Jamz,” a Netflix sitcom about a fictional Chicago radio station.
Same high school as me (at least for my senior year). Also, someone with a writing background. I'll most likely be in touch with him soon to interview him.
