Chuck Woolery is DEAD TO ME!

Huh, I didn't think he was older than Dump and Biden. The more you know. Oh well, we'll be back in two and two.

He had a great _ss but couldn’t l_ve fore_er

I liked him better than Pat Sajak on Wheel of Fortune. I would have put my remaining money on account.

I love you R4

Was he related to Tom Foolery?

RIP, he had a great voice

R.I.P, I really enjoyed Love Connection.

Bravo, R3! You are the heart and soul of DL!

Vanna White, Ed McMahon. Nic-o-lette Sher-i-dan/ Mary Hart, Chuck Woolery, are as vague as they can be / Brooke Shields, Dawber, Pam- personality of Spam / Christie Brinkley, Brosnan, Pierce- bland and boring, something fierce!

R10 I love you

Vague.

When he hosted Lingo he openly harassed the girl who drew the bingo balls and she was into it! So gross.

[quote]On July 12, 2020, Woolery tweeted that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), doctors, the media, and Democratic Party were lying about the COVID-19 pandemic. Then-president Donald Trump retweeted Woolery's claims.[25][26] The following day, Woolery tweeted that his son had tested positive for the virus and that the "COVID-19 pandemic is real".

I'll give him a point for admitting publicly he was wrong. Did Jo Ann Pflug ever say what went wrong with their love connection?

R13 she deferred to Joanne Worley

Ya know, he was told to shave the beard for "Wheel of Fortune". I wish that was captured on tape, with Chuck shirtless.

Chuck Woolery, smooth-talking game show host of ‘Love Connection’ and ‘Scrabble,’ dies at 83-CNN

As usual R13 right wingers have to know someone personally with the disease before they give a damn (they treated AIDS the same way).

I remember him being interviewed on television by someone on a red carpet & they were talking about the fed anti-discrimination act for LGBTS & he was against it saying that he had no right to "job protection" (but of course it covered heteros too). & of course he missed the entire reason that it was needed in the first place as a hetero he never lived in fear of losing a job due to his sexual orientation. Straight privilege at its finest.

So I guess trumpy won't be nominating him for a role in the federal gov. then.

Shame.

He was going to be Ambassador to Avoid Landing on Bankrupt

He went after Hollywood violent rhetoric but does anyone remember him taking on any GOP violence rhetoric?

"I can shoot a man..." - trumpy.

So, he will not return in two and two.

Oh no! Anyway...

It's surprising how long a career he had in hosting game shows, because he was well known for being easily confused by the rules and game play of whatever show he was on. I guess people found it charming when he got befuddled.

One good thing I will say about him is that he always tried to help his contestants. When he made the final spin of the day on Wheel of Fortune he always tried to land on the highest dollar amount, and he got really good at it over the years. In forty years I never saw Sajak show a moment's interest in where he landed.

It's probably a stretch to say he was ever an ally, but he was at least cool with the gays. I saw this live when it aired in the 1980s, and everyone I told the story to thought I was making it up. Rest in peace, you big goofball MAGA troll.

R21 beat me to it!

[quote]but he was at least cool with the gays

Nah I remember back in the 90s he was asked if they would ever do a gay episode of Love Connection and he basically said 'no one wants to see that.' More examples at link

I loved watching LOVE CONNECTION! Peak 80s.

R26- and 90’s

RIP

Good

May all the sex scandals come out now!

Anti gay shitbag from hell.

Fuck him.

How’s Jo Ann Pflug doing?

How will the world cope with the loss of this titan of science and letters? Such a tragedy when a MSGAt of his incredible stature passes.

I think I wanna dance, hooah!

[quote] One less MAGAt!

Fewer!

Love Connection was all filmed in studios right in Hollywood. I watched a couple of times in the 80s. There was mysterious information about Southern California, like dates that involved 'driving along the coast' to Malibu.

I have never seen, nor heard of this "Love Connection" programme!

I must have been watching "Madame's Place".

His 3rd wife was David Nelson's stepdaughter. TV is a small world.

Chuck did do a gay episode of Love Connection, whether he knew it or not. Both Jeffrey and Michael from this episode were gayer than Tom Cruise on rollerblades:

Bet he had a fat cock and big nuts. RIP Chuck.

He certainly had an enormous head and face. It looks like his chin was lower than his neck.

And hey dead asshole–gay Love Connections would have made timeless entertainment!!

I always thought he was fine as fuck on WoF and Love Connection. But he seemed a bit dumb - which was probably accurate as those people just get by on their looks their entire life.

And I don't say this much, but there just seemed to be something gay-adjacent about him. I know he was a conservative and all that - but still there was something there.

Apparently he left WoF because he was making $65,000 a year - while other hosts (Richard Dawson, etc.) were making $500,000. Then the deal fell through and in stepped Pat Sajak - who I never liked and was always too cold and aloof.

That trashy Shandi chick always seemed like she was down for a deep dicking from Chuck.

[quote]It's surprising how long a career he had in hosting game shows, because he was well known for being easily confused by the rules and game play of whatever show he was on.

No more surprising than the career of Bert Convey, perhaps the stupidest MC ever.

I think Chuck was one of Lin Bolen's daytime hunks. In the 1970s, she replaced a bunch of older game show hosts with younger, good-looking hosts, and it was a hit. I think that's how Alex Trebek ended up on Jeopardy.

His co-host posts a photo of them holding rifles in his death announcement. What is wrong with people. Sick death cult

Never watched Love Connection, but I do remember him on WoF in the daytime on NBC in the 70s. I was a young gayling then, and wondered why I was always getting a hard on when this good looking guy would come on my television screen in the summer, every morning at 11 am. I liked him much better than Sajack, too.

Merv Griffin saw his sex appeal back then (he started on The Merv Griffin show in the late 60s as a guest - a country singer) and made him a 'star' when he offered him the role of game show host for a new game he was producing. Merv had said it was his voice that convinced him he'd be a good TV personality for a morning show (re: attract all the housewives into watching him each morning), but I'm thinking it was his ass and VPL (he was in his early 30s) that Griffin really noticed.

Love Connection was a pre cursor to The Bachelor/Bachelorette but far less laborious

I remember once in the ‘70s or ‘80s, Alex Trebek talked about sunbathing in the nude in his swimming pool.

Though I was just a child, I always imagined him with a big hairy bush.

[quote] As usual [R13] right wingers have to know someone personally with the disease before they give a damn (they treated AIDS the same way).

Like Nancy Reagan suddenly being an advocate for stem cell use.

Susan Dey will now guess the puzzle.

He was no fan of civil rights either. Fuck him

Hope dump is next.

What’s VPL ?

Hope is dead ☠️

Oops 😬 wrong thread.

R43 that Shandi was Miss USA and first runner-up at Miss Universe.

R45 you’d be wrong. Alex did not replace anyone. There was decade between the old and new Jeopardy shows.

I remember seeing this earlier this year and it is still up. I never saw the show or even heard of it, but some one here referred to his balls and I thought of this, Chuck of Celebrity Bowling. I personally think it’s making a mountain out of molehill, but he was kind of good looking when young.

No-he’s a republican pundant on CNN

Aww, that’s a shame. I loved his Johnny B. Goode song. That was terrific.

Oh, dear, r60.

Kindly omit flowers.

[quote]No more surprising than the career of Bert Convey, perhaps the stupidest MC ever.

Before becoming an easily confused game show host, Bert Convy had a career on Broadway, starring as Cliff in the original production of "Cabaret." He also played Perchik in the original production of "Fiddler on the Roof."

Bert Convey!

Just be glad it’s dead.

He was cheesy.

I remember reading that his ex Jo Ann Pflug was cut from the same cloth politically as he was.

Happy to see the real homophobic generation dying off.

Didn't he have a son who committed suicide?

Lt. Dish—Pflug—should be a DL goddess, if not for her quite big tits then at for her sacrificial “fuck” of a closeted, suicidal gay.

at least*

Hopefully Pat Sajak is next. Another nasty MAGAt.

Hope dump is next- it will help a lot.

That can never be said enough R74. 🙏🙏🙏

Woolery's son died in a motorcycle accident.

Apparently his gay-hating Christian faith got him through the pain.

Damn he has a big chin. That's Jay Leno-level.

Bet he had a big cock.

[quote] Happy to see the real homophobic generation dying off.

Lots of young homophobes taking their places, including guys that DLers drool over in other threads.

Merv wouldnt have bothered with him if he hadn’t a big cock.

I might remember the malibu dates because the rest were pretty banal!

He'll be in Heaven in "two & two"

Couldn't stand any of his game show stints. Seemed like a big phony to me.
