Donald A. Gillis was a Canadian-born American sportscaster who was sports director of Boston's Channel 5 from 1962 through 1983. Gillis pioneered the 11 p.m. sports report in Boston during his tenure at WHDH-TV, becoming the dean of the city's sports anchors, and also would host highly popular candlepin bowling programs on the station. When the show debuted on October 4, 1958, it was hosted by Jim Britt, and Gillis was the co-host. When Britt left in 1967, Gillis began hosting the show himself.
