He was excellent when he the OG host of Love Connection but he was also very good at hosting Scrabble and later Greed. I thank Wheel of Fortune for launching Woolery’s career in game shows in which Chuck himself hosted Wheel from 1975 to 1981.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I preferred Chuck and Susan Stafford more than Pat and Vanna.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I preferred Chuck and Susan Stafford more than Pat and Vanna.I wouldn't know. I am a big fan of Chuck from Greed and Lingo but have never seen his versions of Wheel of Fortune and Scrabble. :(

Well I reckon Chuck was excellent on Wheel of fortune cause everything peaked I think in the 80s and slowly got worse........ So by the time Pat left,you have a robot in there now and they destroyed the set making it look aweful......... (Like Family Feud)

My mom had a big crush on Chuck Woolery when he hosted Love Connection and would watch Love Connection just to see him. But the show I liked of his was Greed The Series and Chuck was so awesome making his return as a Comeback Kid and with his dark haired look made him fit with the game show hosts of the 90's and once Greed The Series ended and Chuck Woolery moved on to Lingo Chuck showed that he still had his game show hosting skills like an athlete making a comeback in sports and introduced a new catchphrase with "It's Not Just Letters It's Just Lingo" replacing "We'll be back in 2 and 2". And I bet you remember "Do You Feel The Need For Greed" from Greed The Series as well?. But Chuck Woolery will become a game show legend in the history of game shows because of his awesome talent and great skill as a game show host and he will be missed by game show fans
