From Stand-Up Comic to News Anchor and Humanitarian: An Interview With Dawne Gee

Whether you’ve seen Dawne Gee anchoring the news, hosting a talk show, being awarded the 2024 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award, or simply enjoying a meal out with her family, Dawne’s friendly face is likely one you recognize if you’ve spent any time in the Louisville area.  In this fascinating episode, we interview news personality and humanitarian Dawne Gee.  How did Dawne move from one-time bouncer and stand-up comic to news anchor and talk show host? What does she consider to be the greatest benefit of her role as a TV news personality? What are some behind-the-scenes stories from Dawne’s 30+ years with WAVE News? And why has Dawne chosen– despite the painful memories it brings to mind– to share about the stroke she experienced on air in 2016? We discuss all this and more in this interview with Louisville native and beloved community figure Dawne Gee.  Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel.
