Chuck Woolery: Supporting Trump 'pretty much destroyed my career'

[tenderfoot]

Outside of hosting a gameshow, I was unaware that he had a career.


Supporting President Trump and taking a conservative stance in public ruined Chuck Woolery's career and got him shadow-banned from Twitter, said the former game show host on "Fox & Friends" Wednesday.

Woolery tweeted about his personal political beliefs last week and claimed he paid a heavy professional price for simply expressing how he felt.

"To answer your question. Yes, I have pretty much destroyed my career by openly supporting Trump and letting all know, I am a conservative. Painful at times, but true. After all is said and done. It was my choice and I can live with it. I would do it all again," he tweeted.

"It was kind of a self-deprecating tweet I sent out because I know I'm shadow-banned. I've got about 650 or 700,000 followers," he told "Fox & Friends" host Brian Kilmeade.

Political discourse in America has gotten so out of control that it's emboldened people to ruin the lives of those they disagree with, Woolery added.

"What you have wrong is... the companies who you represent are just inundated with all of this negative [stuff]. It's not true," he said. "They just make this stuff up and throw it out [there] because they want to destroy your life. They don't just want to disagree with you. They are so vehement and so virulent. They just want to destroy you and that's their purpose."

[Kingofalldems]

1. He does commercials for pure crap.

[A HERETIC I AM]

65. Kingofalldems.,.. I didn't know we had a king

I thought we were an autonomous collective

[Kingofalldems]

67. It's just a name.

Put me on ignore if you are offended.

[drbtg1]

68. Or maybe, instead of hitting ignore, just tell the Heretic...

... You're foolin' yourself! We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working class...

[A HERETIC I AM]

70. There you go, bringing class into it again.......

Please, PLEASE, good people, I am in haste....

This could go on all knight, you know.


(I take it the King above isn't a member of the "I know the entire script" club)

[drbtg1]

71. Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

I thought maybe he's the old man from Scene 24, but I guess the old man is actually Chuck Woolery.

Better he's the old man instead of the rabbit.

[A HERETIC I AM]

72. Some people just have a bad day. Others preferred to be called "Tim"

Bad day;


Still others can't find work because of their political affiliations;

[drbtg1]

73. So it was really Chuck yelling...

...Oh, what a giveaway! Did you hear that? Did you hear that, eh? That's what I'm on about! Did you see him repressing me? You saw him, didn't you?

Listen Chuck, a strange woman lyin' near letters distributin' consonants is no basis for a system of employment. Supreme game show executive power derives from a mandate from the Nielsen masses, not from some farcical whirling ceremony.

Wheel Of Fortune, Bridge Of Death. To-MAY-toe, Toe-MAA-toe, same thing I guess.

[A HERETIC I AM]

74. ....

That'll do!




I can't go on!!

[drbtg1]

75. I suppose so, although all this does seem appropriate...

...since Chuck complaining about a lack of employment makes as much sense as a Monty Python sketch.

Moving on...and now for something completely different!

[A HERETIC I AM]

82. ....

A Scotsman on a horse!




I know, I know, it isn't John Cleese, but I couldn't find a pic of him that showed him ON the horse;

[enid602]

2. Tragic

And right a the very peak of his career. Tragic, I tell you. Who’s next, Wink Martindale?

[TheBlackAdder]

53. Whomp! Whomp! Had enough winning, Woolery?

[Dave Starsky]

62. My understanding is that Wink is another right-wing nut job.

As is Pat Sajak.

WTF is up with game show hosts? I guess this is why they aren't doctors, lawyers, fast-food cooks, or anything else that requires a functioning brain.

[spanone]

3. Along with many other fools, chuck.

[dewsgirl]

4. Other than Love Connection and AARP comercials, what career?

[SoCalNative]

21. He was the original host of Wheel of Fortune

(6 years) before a contract dispute and being replaced by Pat Sajak.

[dewsgirl]

24. I had no idea. I used to watch Wheel of Fortune with my grandparents

when I was little.

[Different Drummer]

31. Yep, and Vanna White wasn't the original letter turner.

That was Susan Stafford.

[dewsgirl]

45. I didn't know that either. Thank you.

[durablend]

5. The sad thing

I used to like watching the old episodes of Scrabble (and Wheel of Fortune) with him but his mouth pretty much destroyed that.

Oh...and this part:

""They just make this stuff up and throw it out [there] because they want to destroy your life. They don't just want to disagree with you. They are so vehement and so virulent. They just want to destroy you and that's their purpose.""

Pot calling the kettle black?

[Cosmocat]

13. Always the fucking victims

He "supports" a sociopath who relentlessly savages countless people every day while balling around about people mean to him for supporting the sociopath.

[TheRealNorth]

77. Didn't we just go through a whole episode of Conservatives threatening to boycott the NFL

Because of Colin Keapernick?

So I fail to see the difference.

[PSPS]

6. No, his real mistake was jumping into any political discussion in the first place.

The last thing I care about or even want to know is the politics of ... anyone! I tune out as soon as anyone starts discussing politics (outside of a defined political forum like a caucus or DU.) Why would Woolery (or anyone) think anyone needs to know or even care about his political views?

People watched his show just for the "entertainment" of people demeaning themselves. They didn't tune in because of his politics. They didn't want any politics, just the cringe-worthy self-debasement of the "contestants."

[SoCalNative]

22. Same reason I pass on any Patricia Heaton

projects.

[Different Drummer]

27. Didn't realize that about her.

Now that I know, I'll completely avoid her new network program.

[bdjhawk]

38. She has been a big whiner for a long time

about how being a conservative in the big bad leebruhl Hollywood has been so hard on her. This despite lead roles in two of the most successful, long running sitcoms in history- Everybody Loves Raymond and The Middle- and being given the starring role in a new sitcom. Poor snowflake has a career and earnings many would love to have.

[Faux pas]

7. All I've got for chuck

and a hearty HAHAHA...

[Thomas Hurt]

8. another paranoid christofascist......"they" did it to me. Woe is me. all over a tweet.

[MontanaMama]

9. Womp womp.

[muriel_volestrangler]

10. "Shadow-banned"? That means "some people replied to me telling me I'm an asshole"

and then they stopped following him. The right wing snowflakes who realise the public as a whole hates them for their bigotry call it being "shadow-banned". Their egos are too big to cope with the thought they've fucked themselves by being openly hateful.

[superpatriotman]

11. Thoughts and prayers

etc etc etc

[htuttle]

12. For one thing, there's no such thing as 'shadow-banning' on Twitter

That's just some nonsense that RW twitterers say happens when nobody on Twitter agrees with them.

[NCjack]

14. Chuck, I never heard of you. nt

[RhodeIslandOne]

15. Chuck, it's because you're an asshole

You name called everybody who disagreed with you. You said all sorts of nasty things about people you are politically opposed to. That's pretty hard to come back from when your job is to be a "likeable personality". Welcome to show biz, dummy.

[muntrv]

16. Lack of talent destroyed your career.

Chuck is no Alex Trebek.

[rurallib]

17. IMHO real conservatives should hate Trump

being a Trump humper is about the polar opposite of being a conservative.

Maybe when the Woolerys of the world figure that out they may get a little respect. Until then they are but another fool in s cult of personality and people should avoid them.

[LeftInTX]

18. Chuck always had bloodshot eye on "Love Connection"

Only watched it cuz there was nothing else to watch.

[Mike Nelson]

19. His career was over long ago...

[Happyhippychick]

20. Another rich white republican male who feels persecuted

Cry me a River

[CaptYossarian]

28. He can join Curt Schilling and James Woods.

I'd bet Kevin Spacey will come back before these three stooges.

[blueinredohio]

23. He's still alive?

[Different Drummer]

30. It's just his career that's dead.

[3catwoman3]

44. Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[Yavin4]

25. Chuck was a shoo-in for that Joker role over Joaquin Phoenix.

Damn liberal Hollywood!

[Garrett78]

26. Yeah, he was really on the rise pre-Trump.

[gratuitous]

29. Cry me a river, snowflake

If it's too hot in the kitchen, Chuck, the door's thataway.

[TidalWave46]

32. Another well off white male victim. NT

[BannonsLiver]

33. Saint Chuck of Palm Springs

My heart bleeds for him.

[Initech]

34. Everything Trump touches dies. Both literally and figuratively.

[NewDayOranges]

35. Chuck WHOOOOOOOOOO?

[Different Drummer]

36. "They are so vehement and so virulent."

To read his Twitter, you wouldn't think he would know words like "vehement" and "virulent."

[Fla Dem]

37. Chuckie is 78 years old. He hasn't had a full time job since 2004, long before Trump came along. nt

[llmart]

59. Probably blames his job loss on Obama.

I honestly didn't know he was still alive.

[Greybnk48]

39. Thoughts and prayers for Woolery's career!

[LanternWaste]

40. Bless his little heart for finally realizing that getting Dixie Chick-ed is bad form.

So he's only now realized that political speech has free-market consequences. I would've thought as a conservative, he'd have realized that little Ayn-Randian truism a long, long time ago.

[awesomerwb1]

41. He's like 80 years old

what career?

[Permanut]

42. Clever rascal..

He figured out that my life's purpose as a liberal is to destroy him.

[TlalocW]

43. He's definitely no Wink Martindale

TlalocW

[uponit7771]

46. Cause normal people don't super racist child abusers

[standingtall]

47. Trump enablers should have to pay a price anyway

I don't feel sorry for this guy one bit. After world war 2. Did we give the citizens of Germany a pass? Or did we make them bury the bodies? Hitler supporters and people that opposed Hitler alike?

[VOX]

48. Has anyone here ever scrolled through MAGAt Woolery's Twitter feed?

It’s just the same old recycled MAGAt garbage, enough to make any sentient being gag.

Three samples:
-Racist Anti-Trump PBS Hack Says Democrats Are Hoping for Tearful Impeachment Hearings to Sway Americans
-Democrat Senator Advises Liberals To Believe In Climate Change Like A Religion
-Bernie Says Ocasio-Cortez Would Play ‘Very Important Role’ In A Sanders White House

“Legendary” Chuck’s “career” now consists of regurgitating far-right, Trump-talking-points on the podcast “Blunt Force Truth” (nice imagery), ironically described as a “podcast for thoughtful, deep-thinking people.” It’s utterly delusional to believe that ANY MAGAt actually fits that description.

https://bluntforcetruth.com/about/

49. What career?

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0941103/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1

Pooh. It isn't loading for me. Just look him up on imdb.

The most he has done since hosting Lingo is appear on Fox and Fiends.

Yeah, I wrote "fiends."

[Kid Berwyn]

50. It certainly didn't help.

What fields were you interested in pursuing, Chuck?

[badseedboy]

51. lack of any talent whatsoever might have played a part. . .

[Demonaut]

52. out of touch.....such blissful ignorance

[Gothmog]

54. Did this idiot have a career to destroy?

[Generic Other]

55. He last hosted a game show in 1981!

What freaking career is he talking about? Selling walk-in tubs to seniors? Reverse mortgages? Good grief.

[Different Drummer]

58. Don't forget Blue Emu

"It works fast, and you won't stink!"

[Cha]

56. Chuck supports a hideous, heinous, sociopathic, perverted traitor to his

country and then goes and whines to fox that it ruined his career.

Looks like the ******* moron is "ruining his career", too, with all the treasonous and criminal shite he's done since getting installed in our WH.

60. I don't really care do you? Womp womp.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Pat Sajak supports Rump, and his career seems to be doing okay.

[Blue Owl]

63. Chuck will no longer be back in two and two

[pecosbob]

64. Try Branson Missouri, the home for washed up conservative entertainers

[MrsCoffee]
