Most of the original cast of Whirled News still performs regularly with the show. That's pretty rare for a four year old show. Jordan got too busy with Second City and left. Haskins (pictured) also left for Second City and then eventually for L.A. to write for Al Gore's cable channel, Current. The show she writes for, 'InfoMania,' debuts this week.

(Wonak, although not an original member, left to focus on grad school)

Haskins sent me this picture of herself at work (at my request).

Haskins: Here's me in my office. I am pretending to be grumpy because I am stuck on a joke. I share the office with another writer. We're trying to "comedy" it up a bit. So far, we stick a lot of random stuff on the walls.

I couldn't help but notice that one of the post-it notes reads "poonami."

A few weeks ago Haskins was in Chicago and sat in on a Whirled News show. It was fun to have her back.

Haskins: You should all move to L.A.! Old friends are better than new friends!
Marla: Don't start that! That's how it happens. One person goes out there and they start talking everyone else into moving.
