Chuck Woolery, the affable, smooth-talking game show host of ‘Wheel of Fortune’, ‘Love Connection’ and ‘Scrabble’ who later became a right-wing podcaster, skewering liberals and accusing the government of lying about COVID-19, has died. He was 83.

Mark Young, Woolery’s podcast co-host, said in an email early Sunday that Woolery died at his home in Texas with his wife, Kristen, present.
