What is it about former game show hosts that makes them so much like, well, former game show hosts? For the time being, let's avoid the bulging persimmon lolling about 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and golf courses across the globe. Instead, I would like to gesture in the direction of the once and future host of Love Connection, Chuck Woolery.
If you are unfamiliar with Mister Woolery's work, you may have caught his act when he was with his band Avant-Garde and their near miss, "Naturally Stoned." That was in 1968. In the early seventies, he appeared on television as Mister Dingle on The New Zoo Revue. But as it turned out, Chuck's forte was being a game show host, and his eleven year run hosting Love Connection stands out as one of the longest running game shows of all time with more than two thousand episodes in the can.
What was this Love Connection? Well, imagine that you lived in a world without Al Gore's marvelous invention of the Internet. How would young, lusty individuals meet one another? How about appearing as a contestant on a televised version of Tinder in which the studio audience had the ability to swipe right or left for you? It was Chuck's job to sit on the couch across from these aspiring Connectors and ask pointed questions that might have made Bob Eubanks blush. Chuck really wanted to know if that Connection was made, if you catch my drift.
And then, for a while, Chuck was gone.
But now, thanks to Al Gore's Internet, he's back. Currently known for his blunt instrument tweeting, Chuck tossed this one out the other day: "RACISM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE. Racism is the Progressive Left crying out for attention. If you disagree with the ProgressiveLeft. They consider you a Racist. They are desperate to hold on to the Black Vote." In case you haven't already surmised, Chuck is white. Really white. Game show host white.
Oh, and Chuck is the co-host of the Blunt Force Truth podcast. No longer content to sit on a couch and attempt to pry the salacious details of strangers' dating travails, he is now spouting his invective at those who can click to find him. Featuring stories such as "Thirty-Eight Percent Of Americans Say Colleges Are Hurting America," Chuck has found a conservative nest where he feels comfortable unleashing his pronouncements as if they meant something.
Now about that persimmon...
