What campaign for Budweiser, written by a Chicago based director, was first aired during Monday Night Football?
Whassup? Whassup? (also known as Wazzup) was a commercial campaign for Anheuser-Busch Budweiser beer from 1999 to 2002. The first spot aired during "Monday Night Football", December 20, 1999.

Chicago Star The Chicago Star was a weekly publication, founded in 1946 and financed by Trade unions. The board of directors were Ernest De Maio, Frank Marshall Davis, William L. Patterson, Grant Oakes, and William Sennett. Davis was the executive editor, Sennett the general manager, and Carl Hirsch managing editor. Howard Fast was a columnist, and Rockwell Kent a contributing editor. In an introduction to a book about Davis, John Edgar Tidwell indicated that the first issue was launched on July 4th to "[wrap] itself in the holiday's symbolic meaning." The paper carried Davis's weekly editorial "Frank-ly Speaking".
