"Barely Today" wound up lasting just five months due to poor ratings, however, and was canceled in June 2007. "Not too many years from now, when I'm an old insomniac watching TV in the wee hours, I'll look at the screen and say, 'Did I actually do a TV show at 4:30 in the morning? It must have been a dream.' And I will wish that I could go back to sleep and start dreaming again," Wolf told the Chicago Tribune's Phil Rosenthal at the time the show was canceled. Speaking seriously, Wolf had nothing but positive things to say about the show and his colleagues upon its cancellation, telling the Chicago Sun-Times in June 2007: "It was a very sweet show, especially so because Ellee Pai Hong is a wonderful partner." After "Barely Today" was canceled, Wolf returned to sports anchoring and reporting duties at WMAQ-TV. He was let go from WMAQ-TV on a permanent basis when his contract expired in February 2008. "It was heartbreaking at times, but very rewarding too," Wolf told the Chicago Sun-Times in January 2008 about his full-time stint at WMAQ. Since leaving WMAQ-TV on a full-time basis in February 2008, Wolf has continued to occasionally fill in at WMAQ-TV as a sports anchor. As noted above, Wolf joined WLUP in 1982. In September 1991, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Wolf was set to join a new all-sports talk radio station (which would eventually become WSCR) as an afternoon sports talk host. "From time to time, I get offers from stations. But I'm not going to say hello or goodbye to anybody in your (expletive) column," Wolf told the Sun-Times' Robert Feder. Ultimately, Wolf stayed at WLUP. In February 1994, Wolf ceased working as a morning sports anchor for WLUP's Kevin Matthews to join WLUP's sister station, WMVP, as the morning sports anchor for Steve Dahl. "I'm not the new Garry (referring to Dahl's longtime former radio partner Garry Meier)," Wolf joked to the Chicago Sun-Times in February 1994. "There never will be another Garry. Garry couldn't be Garry again. I'm not Steve's partner. I'm not even his senior associate. I'm merely keeping a seat warm for Tom Thayer until he retires from the NFL." In 1996, Dahl left WMVP.
