Chuck Woolery is a nationally known tv host
A talented guitarist and singer, Chuck Woolery originally set his sights on a career in the music industry, but instead he joined the U.S. Navy. Following his service in the Navy, Wollery studied Economics and Sociology at Morehead State University. Realizing his heart still yearned to create music, Woolery moved to Los Angeles to launch his career and broadened his aspirations to include acting. After a guest appearance on "The Merv Griffin Show," Griffin himself invited Woolery to audition as host for a newly created game show, "Wheel of Fortune." Woolery served as the host of "Wheel of Fortune" with co-host Susan Stafford when the program premiered on NBC's daytime schedule in January of 1975. Woolery's seven year run as the host of "Wheel of Fortune" earned him an Academy of Television Arts and Sciences nomination as Best Host or Hostess in a Game Show at the Fifth Annual Daytime Emmy Awards (1997-1998). Woolery's warm manner and ability to laugh at himself forever changed the formalized and authoritative image of hosts that had evolved from early radio days. It was this contemporary style that caused Warner Bros. To lure Woolery back to television in 1983 as host of the syndicated relationship-based game show "Love Connection." During 11 seasons, Woolery also held the distinction of simultaneously hosting two game shows on television during the same period when he signed on as the host of "Scrabble." From the game's premiere in July of 1984 through its final season ending in March of 1990, Woolery could be seen daily on NBC as well as in syndication. Woolery later served as co-host of "Home and Family" on the Family Channel in 1996.
