Chuck Woolery, the smooth-talking game show host of “Wheel of Fortune,” “Love Connection” and “Scrabble” amongst others who later became a popular right-wing political podcaster, has died. He was 83.
Born in Ashland, Kentucky, on March 6, 1941, Woolery would go on to serve two years in the U.S. Navy aboard the USS Enterprise before seeking a career in his first true love – entertainment.
Donald Trump-supporting Woolery may have enjoyed a renaissance skewering liberals and their hypocrisy while accusing the government of lying about coronavirus but his iconic name was very much a part of television game show hosting.
