Chuck Woolery, ‘Love Connection’ Host, Dead at 83

Chuck Woolery, the host of 'Love Connection' and other popular television game shows, has died at the age of 83.

Chuck Woolery, who served as host for Love Connection, Wheel of Fortune, and other popular television game shows and later went on to co-host a right-wing podcast, died on Saturday at his home in Texas. With a genial smile, classic Hollywood-host looks, and a charming sense of humor, he elicited fun remarks and exchanges between Love Connection contestants, and easily navigated when there were conflicts as well. After a generally successful run on television, he appeared to turn on the place that made him famous: targeting Hollywood along with the Democratic Party and public health officials over Covid-19 protocols and messaging.
