Summary
Chuck Woolery, the charismatic host of Wheel of Fortune, Love Connection, and Scrabble, died at 83 at his Texas home.
Known for his charm and signature “2 and 2” catchphrase, Woolery’s career spanned decades, earning him a spot in the American TV Game Show Hall of Fame.
Later, he became a polarizing right-wing figure, hosting the Blunt Force Truth podcast, supporting Donald Trump, and spreading controversial views, including anti-COVID-19 rhetoric, antisemitic remarks, and opposition to civil rights for minorities.
Half way though the title I was expecting to read “will be given a position in trump’s cabinet”.
It’s sad he was a Qanut but he was a fixture of being home sick as a kid.
as an aside I find it a bit disturbing how many affable game show hosts are in their private lives terrible people. sajak is another example.
And nothing of value was lost.
Damn you, summary, for ruining my “I guess he won’t be back in 2 and 2” bit of gallows humor.
I date women on TV with the help of Chuck Woolery.
But only Jim Lange got to be the wing man of a serial killer.

(It’s not Jim’s fault, it’s not like he knew.)

I used to watch Scrabble religiously as a kid. It was more fun than the board game.
Sad to see Chuck die.
He’ll be back in 2 and 2…
I really don’t think he will.
