Voldemort: What’s up dude?

Harry: Did you just call me dude?

Voldemort: Yes. I’m practicing new lingo. Someone told me it’ll make me more “hashtag relatable”

Harry: Did you just say hashtag?

Voldemort: No cap

Harry: Please for the love of Merlin, stop!

Charles Herbert Woolery (March 16, 1941 – November 23, 2024) Game show host, talk show host, actor, and musician. He had long-running tenures hosting several game shows. Woolery was the original host of the original daytime Wheel of Fortune (1975–1981), the original incarnation of Love Connection (1983–1994), Scrabble (1984–1990, and during a brief revival in 1993), Greed on Fox from 1999 to 2000, and Lingo on Game Show Network from 2002 to 2007. Woolery's musical career includes several advertising jingles, a top-40 pop hit with the psychedelic pop duo The Avant-Garde, and a number of country music releases.

Woolery performed as Mr. Dingle on the children's television series New Zoo Revue in the early 1970s. During that time, he made his first game show appearance on an episode of Tattletales in 1974, alongside then-wife Jo Ann Pflug. Starting as a singer, Woolery appeared on an episode of Your Hit Parade. On January 6, 1975, he began hosting Wheel of Fortune at the suggestion of creator Merv Griffin, who had seen Woolery sing on The Tonight Show. Woolery hosted the show for six years, and in 1978 was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host or Hostess in a Game or Audience Participation Show. In 1981, he was involved in a salary dispute with the program's producers; he said in a 2007 interview that he demanded a raise from $65,000 a year to about $500,000 a year because the program was drawing a 44 viewership share at the time, and other hosts (such as Richard Dawson and Bob Barker) were making that much. Griffin offered Woolery $400,000 a year, and NBC offered to pay the additional $100,000, but after Griffin threatened to move the program to CBS, NBC withdrew the offer. Woolery's contract was not renewed and his final episode aired on December 25, 1981. Pat Sajak replaced him

Woolery hosted Love Connection (1983–1994), The Big Spin (1985), Scrabble (1984–1990, 1993), Home & Family (1996–1998, co-host), The Dating Game (1997–1999), Greed (1999–2000), TV Land Ultimate Fan Search (1999–2000) and Lingo (2002–2007). In addition, he was the subject of a short-lived reality television, Chuck Woolery: Naturally Stoned (originally titled Chuck Woolery: Behind the Lingo) in 2003. He also hosted his own talk show, The Chuck Woolery Show, which lasted for only a few months in 1991. He hosted The Price Is Right Live! at Harrah's Entertainment casinos, and appeared in the live stage show "$250,000 Game Show Spectacular" at the Westgate Las Vegas until April 2008. (Wikipedia)

Mike Barnes at THR:

Chuck Woolery, the charismatic game show host who kicked off the long run of Wheel of Fortune before spending 11 years playing matchmaker on Love Connection, has died. He was 83. His friend and podcast co-host Mark Young told TMZ that Woolery died Saturday at his home in Texas, and he posted about it on X. No other details were immediately available. Woolery started out in show business as a singer in the orchestral pop band The Avant-Garde, whose most famous song, “Naturally Stoned,” made it to No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968. The tune later served as the theme song for his (very) short-lived Game Show Network reality series in 2003.

After the Kentucky native performed “Delta Dawn” on The Merv Griffin Show, Griffin offered him a chance to audition as the host of a new game show he had just developed called Shopper’s Bazaar. Woolery beat out former 77 Sunset Strip star Edd “Kookie” Byrnes for the job, and the renamed Wheel of Fortune premiered on NBC on Jan. 6, 1975. With the show pulling in a 44 share in 1981, Woolery requested a raise from $65,000 a year to about $500,000, what other top game show hosts were making at the time, he recalled in 2007. Griffin offered him $400,000 and NBC said it would pony up the rest, but that somehow infuriated Griffin, who threatened to take Wheel of Fortune to CBS, according to Woolery.

[...] Woolery, however, rebounded quite nicely with the syndicated Love Connection, presiding over more than 2,000 episodes of that show from 1983-94. In 1986, he was making $1 million a year hosting that and NBC’s Scrabble, according to a 1986 article in People. (That year, the magazine pointed out, Love Connection was grossing $25 million a year and drawing 4.5 million viewers a day.) Woolery also had his own CBS daytime morning show, which didn’t last long in competition with Live With Regis and Kathie Lee; co-hosted the Family Channel’s Home and Family; and was the face of other game shows including Lingo on the Game Show Network, Greed on Fox and a rebooted The Dating Game for syndication.

[...] More recently, Woolery, an avid fisherman, co-hosted with Young the right-wing podcast Blunt Force Truth.

What is a blorbo??

Hello Anon friend!

Simple definition: a "blorbo" is any fandom character whom you particularly love or feel passionate about. You can have as many blorbos as you wish, and there can be blorbos you admire platonically, fraternally, romantically, or *ahem* biblically.

It took me months of pretending (just smile and nod) on Tumblr before I finally understood what the word actually meant, so good on you for straight up asking! 😂

Lingotober Day 31 - Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM THE LINGO SHOW! 🎃

Massive thanks to whoever participated in this prompt list. I should do this next year! Who has the best costumee this year?

[muchnormal-aboutnothing]

I just used the term "cinnamon roll" to describe a character in the otome game I've been playing recently while on the phone with a friend of mine.

He insisted for a full minute that the term was a muchnormal-aboutnothing - ism and not an actual term. Like I was MAKING IT UP!

Anyways, does anyone else question their reality when faced with someone who hasn't rotted their brain on this hellsite and doesn't understand the lingo your brain literally forged synapses around? Asking for a friend.
