For more than three decades, viewers have witnessed his indelible charm and wit, whether it was refereeing an arm-wrestling match between former Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and billionaire Warren Buffett, interviewing various celebrities in the now-retired "10 Taxi" or training whales at the Miami Seaquarium.
Tongen began his broadcasting career in 1983 in his native Minnesota, first as a radio disc jockey on country radio station KMRS-AM. He then went on to work at an adult contemporary station in Grand Junction, Colorado, in 1984, before becoming a movie host and weatherman on KJCT-TV.
From 1986 to 1989, Tongen was a feature reporter and weatherman at KARK-TV in Little Rock, Arkansas, where he once ate crawfish with future President Bill Clinton.
Tongen has held a variety of roles through the years since coming to Local 10, most recently sharing the weekend morning anchor desk opposite Neki Mohan.
