Lewis co-hosted ‘The Uncle Al Show’ with her husband, Al “Uncle Al” Lewis, who preceded her in death in February 2009 at the age of 84.

While at WCPO from 1949 to 1989, Wanda Lewis spent 35 years working with her husband on “The Uncle Al Show,” which entertained and featured thousands of children in the Cincinnati area.

Wanda Lewis also made appearances on the “Paul Dixon Show” and the “Movie Matinee Show.” In 2004, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences inducted Wanda and Al into its “Silver Circle” Hall of Fame for their work.

Wanda and her husband retired to their home in Hillsboro in 1985.
