    Growing up my dad was always my summer league coach. We threw the ball and I hit the ball for hours in our backyard and on the field. I had the opportunity to play baseball at the collegiate level but

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

RIP Chuck! 2 and 2 is forever! 
 

 

Last time I knew, he lived here in the Austin metro area.

He also hosted the Scattergories game show also, and probably more not in that list.

Pat Sajak should build a shrine to Chuck's stupidity.

He has.  At Hillsdale College

NBC and Merv Griffin are who screwed Chuck out of the Wheel of Fortune gig. Chuck asked for a raise to what Richard Dawson and Bob Barker were making.  Griffin agreed to pay most, and NBC said they'd cover the rest.  But Griffin threatened to move WoF to CBS, then NBC pulled their offer.  After that, Woolery's contract wasn't renewed.  

Politics aside (I dont care for either Chuck or Pat), but Chuck was a far better host than Pat.

Better than how Trumpers did in 2020. 

Jesus fucking Christ. I’m negging the next CR post. Keep that shit there. 

Just because I don't know - Was Chuck Woolery political? When/where/how did he speak out?

My apologies, y’all 

You can PM me if you would like. I'm just curious since I know nothing about him.

Yes, he was very outspoken, and not in a context that I would support or appreciate, but that shouldn't matter.

Dude is gone and, at the end of the day, I hope we are judged for more than merely how we voted or the rhetoric we supported.

Social media or did he write editorials or appear on Fox? I don't think I've seen him or heard from him in probably 30 years.

I'll confirm the Woolery bad stuff. It was known. He died happy, now let's move on.

Not positive, but I'm pretty sure he became "an accomplished epidemiologist" on social media a few years ago.

Reminds me of:

 

Chuck Woolery played a race tv announcer in Six Pack. Anyone in a movie with Anthony Michael hall and Diane Lane, in their teens, as a NASCAR pit crew is ok by me.

The music world is mourning the loss of Colin "Smiley" Petersen, the original drummer for the Bee Gees, who passed away on November 18.

 

 

 

You can’t be serious. Surely he was older than 80? RIP! ❤️

Anyone else see this thread bumped and wonder...hey maybe this one will score me some points? 

Yeah, me neither. Because that would be wrong. 

Remember it is less than a month until the 2025 celebrity death thread states. So start gathering your list.

Saw where Earl Holliman passed away at 96. 

That dude had a helluva career. Didn't know he was gay, nttawwt. One of his first roles on film was alongside Lee Van Cleef in The Big Combo where they played gay hitmen. Pretty salty roles to slip by censors of the day.

Growing up Holliman was one of those guys that you recognized on many tv shows or older movies. I distinctly recall him as the cook on forbidden planet. He asked Robby the robot to duplicate his pint of Kentucky bourbon. Robby came back with many pints.

I also believe he was the star of the twilight zone debut episode. Lived to 96. 

Was a Rescue Swimmer alongside William Holden and Mickey Rooney in Bridges at Toko-Ri

Nothing is Written: The Bridges at Toko-Ri

Holliman was also in one the most underrated westerns, The Sons of Katie Elder as Matt Elder.

I’m a fan of that movie.

Did they ever make a movie about the long lost Elder son who got into a pickle selling Mitsubishis for the people?

I just watched the 30 for 30 about Big East basketball yesterday.  Had to google to see if he was still alive.  I feel partly responsible for this.

The Big East of the 80s was so damn fun to watch.

Former St John’s hoops coach Lou Carnesecca passes at 99.

As a basketball-playing teen growing up in Western NY in the 80s, Big East basketball was a big part of my life (we wore white t-shirts under our game jerseys). RIP, Lou. 

In the 80s I always wanted to attend the Big East tournament at the Garden.

I will die on a hill saying that the Chris Mullin-Patrick Ewing era was the pinnacle of college basketball. It felt like ESPN had a colossal Bkg East game every other night, or the ACC did. I concede that I was 12-13, and couldn’t get enough of college basketball at the time.

Same. Never had a chance, though.

Syracuse (Pearl Washington) and St. Johns (Mullin and Walter Berry) were my favorites.
