HuffPost
The former TV personality and conservative commentator hosted "Wheel" for several years prior to Pat Sajak's decades-long run.
Chuck Woolery, the original host of “Wheel of Fortune” and an iconic force on a number of game shows over the years, has died, TMZ reported late Saturday.
He was 83.
Woolery hosted “Wheel” from 1975 to 1981 before serving as an MC on several other programs such as “Love Connection,” “Scrabble,” “The Dating Game,” “Greed” and “Lingo.” Most recently, he hosted the Fox Nation special ”’80s Quiz Show” back in June.
His cause of death remains unknown although his friend and podcast co-host Mark Young told TMZ that he was at Woolery’s home in Texas when the former “Wheel” host shared that he wasn’t feeling well.
Woolery went to lie down in his room before sharing that he was having “trouble breathing,” which eventually led to a 911 call.
