Judge Zagel has called a 10-minute break.
Before the break, the judge questioned potential juror No. 171, a TV show host and former host of a radio show on Q101 for nine years.
The potential juror said he was an avid news consumer and, on his radio show, took calls from listeners about the Blagojevich trial.
He also said if he is chosen for the jury, he will likely lose his job.
"Would that affect your ability to be fair in this case?" Zagel asked him.
No. 171 paused and said it would not.
