Career
Adair, a native of Xenia, Ohio, got his start in television in Dayton in the early 1950s. In 1958, he went to Cleveland and joined then-CBS-affiliated WJW-TV as a reporter and anchor. Adair was first partnered with Joel Daly and the duo co-anchored City Camera News, Cleveland's first two-man television newscast. City Camera News was one of the first to provide reporting journalists with Polaroid instant cameras, enabling them to capture images that could be used on the road. The campaign was fruitful, and the Adair/Daly team anchored the most closely watched newscast in Cleveland. Both men were offered jobs at WLS-TV in Chicago around 1968; Adair decided to remain in Cleveland, while Daly accepted. Adair's coworkers included Ernie Anderson, who appeared on horror movie host "Ghoulardi"; Tim Conway, future co-star of McHale's Navy; and Bob "Hoolihan" Schodowski, the two whose Hoolihan and Big Chuck film show replaced Anderson's "Ghoulardi" during his time at WJW-TV; and Ernie Anderson, who played evil movie host "Ghoulardi"; and Robert "Ghoulardi
Adair left WJW-TV and joined NBC News as co-anchor of the evening news shows at network-owned WKYC-TV in 1970. Adair served with notable co-anchors including Virgil Dominic, Dave Patterson, and Judd Hambrick, along with future Today Show meteorologist Al Roker; and Mona Scott, a reporter-turned-anchor who would later become his second wife.
Adair moved to Columbus in early 1983 to take over anchor duties at WCMH-TV, the city's NBC affiliate. Mona Scott joined him a few months ago, and their on-air partnership propelled WCMH's evening newscasts to the most watched in Columbus. In 1990, the couple divorced, both on-air and off-air. Adair stayed at WCMH until 1994, when he was removing from television news. In 1992, Adair was inducted into the Broadcasters Hall of Fame.
