Chuck Woolery, original Wheel of Fortune host and other game shows, RIP age 83

Writes Mike Holmes:

After his long TV career ended, Woolery went into podcasting. He called himself a gun-rights activist and a conservative libertarian and constitutionalist, saying he hadn’t revealed his politics in liberal Hollywood for fear of retribution. He teamed up with Mark Young in 2014 for the podcast Blunt Force Truth and soon became a full supporter of Donald Trump. “President Obama’s popularity is a fantasy only held by him and his dwindling legion of juice-box-drinking, anxiety-dog-hugging, safe-space-hiding snowflakes,” he said.

Pretty sound guy. A Hollywood political exile in the end.
