015 | An Interview with Seattle TV Legend Enrique Cerna

Alonso Chehade Now

A local media legend stops by. My guest has spent four decades as a broadcast journalist where he’s interviewed newsmakers and celebrities—from former presidents to music icons.

He’s the recipient of nine Northwest Emmy Awards. In 2003 The Seattle Weekly featured him as Best TV Host and in 2006 Seattle Magazine named him one of the most influential people of the year.

Enrique Cerna is the senior correspondent at KCTS 9. In this episode, he shares how to get people back on track when they go off on tangents, how he prepares for his interviews, and three dream guests he'd like to have on his show. He also talks about his battle against depression, why he turned away opportunities to do national TV, what it was like to interview Bill Cosby and three truths about life he's learned so far.
