Hi! I’m Cassidy.
Hi! I'm Cassidy Quinn. Wow, this feels weird just typing this out, without being able to really talk to you! Because that's essentially what I do... I talk for a living! I talk to people, animals... really, anyone with a good story!
I host a 7pm show called Tonight With Cassidy Mon-Fri at KGW-TV, the NBC affiliate in Portland, Oregon. It's a half hour talk show featuring the awesome and weird things happening around Portland. We launched the show in March 2018, with the goal of making a fun half hour, where viewers can forget about anything sad or frustrating going on in their world. It airs right after 3 hours of news, so we like to switch it up, play some games, have some laughs, maybe eat some food or drink a cocktail. Segments range from Instagram-famous llamas, to new Portland restaurants, to a unicycling, kilt-wearing, flaming-bagpipe player (yes, that's real. He's called The Unipiper and he is #SoPortland.).
I also host an evening radio show on 98.7 The Bull, Portland's #1 country station. My show airs from 7pm-midnight Mon-Fri).
When I'm not on TV or the radio, I'm on the internet! I started my own YouTube channel back in 2010, when I was in Whistler, BC covering the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics (since then, I’ve covered two more Olympic Games - London 2012 and Pyeongchang 2018). I still make videos for this channel, because, well, I love it... I love the online community, and the freedom of being able to post whatever, whenever, without worrying about live TV deadlines, or making segments end quickly to make room for a commercial break. I love watching and participating in the growth of online video, and don't plan to ever stop!
If you want to see some Tonight With Cassidy segments, or watch my YouTube videos, feel free to click around! But be warned... the content you're about to watch may be embarrassing (for me). But don't feel bad - the embarrassing ones are my favorites! I'll do (most) anything if it entertains someone…!
I look forward to talking with you soon!
