"I proposed doing a special where we just travel around, talk to people about optimism, go to places where optimism thrives and look at it from every different angle. It's brought us to Chicago, the home of the Cubs -- and the most optimistic fans in the world."
Chicago native Bonnie Hunt joins Michael for the Chicago leg of the special,...

"[Bonnie's] been a lifelong Cubs fan," says Michael of the "Bonnie Hunt Show" host. "She grew up in Chicago and she knows what it means to support this club and to live through the ups and downs and disappointments every year, and yet she's really articulate about the hope that this will be the year."

"I was here at the opener," says Bonnie of the Cubs' first day at Wrigley this season. "It was freezing cold, ice buckets of rain in your face for every inning, but we won, and that's the good news. We're a couple games closer to the World Series."
