Chuck Woolery spouts right wing crap on Twitter, complains that he "can't find work in Hollywood"

[Miles Archer]

Chuck Woolery, the well-coiffed former Wheel of Fortune and Love Connection host, has recently complained that his right-wing views have prevented him from finding work in Hollywood. His foray, via Twitter, into the complex relationship between the European Jewish diaspora, German philosophy and the rise of socialism in 20th century Russia is unlikely to have Burbank's best producers rushing to their phones.

Woolery is no neophyte to the profitable business of attacking and riling liberals and Democrats, often with lines that could have been borrowed from Rush Limbaugh. For example, when telling FOXBusiness earlier in May that his politics stopped him getting work, he added his observation the “left is really operating on all German ideas instead of American ideas.” While this could be a reference to the moral philosophy of Enlightenment-era Immanuel Kant, it far more likely an allusion to Adolf Hitler.

Woolery has also made known his suspicion of Islam, tweeting last week in response to the suicide bombing in Manchester, England.

While he may no longer be a television mainstay, Woolery is the host of a short podcast, Blunt Force Truth, in which he uses his once-ubiquitous baritone to harangue the right’s favorite targets: “liberal nitwits,” “socialist” Europe and the Arab World. One recent segment, for example, involved a tortured joke about liberals and “rectal cranial infusion,” whatever that is. The New York Times, in a measured assessment, called him “a firebrand who takes particular delight in fricasseeing liberal celebrities.”

1. He's a nobody...

Hosted a game show..got lucky... probably was dragged out of his assisted living apartment to spew crap..... So, he just gets scraps... hahaha

[Mike Nelson]

2. Well...

...Hollywood may not be the right place. They make product for a mass audience of Americans. Hillary Clinton wo the vote decisively and he seems to have a desire to make his "conservative" Trumpish views part of his resume... so, I would advise him to do a local game show in a small Alabama town where he can say his stuff and find work... game shows are not real big anymore, but maybe he can make enough to take care of his hair and fed himself.

3. Maybe they'll let him control the PA system at the home.

[Barack_America]

4. He should take a job as a farmhand.

ICE has created lots of openings in CA.

Bootstraps, my dear Chuck.

[nikibatts]

5. Tough! There will be some coal mining jobs coming along soon. Ask Trump.

[oberliner]

6. I wonder what he was going for with this tweet

11. Gee for a game show host, Chuck sure don't beat around the bush

Straight up Jew hating nazi. FO Chuck!

[leftynyc]

12. Such a schmuck

His mother was Jewish but converted to Christianity, his father was a Christian. Chances are he never knew his mother's ancestry.

[sharedvalues]

7. GOP strategy: amplify fringe voices

Most people in Hollywood are liberal, because they've traveled and they get their news from a variety of sources, so they understand other people.

So the GOP takes the handful of socially illiberal people in Hollywood and amplifies their voices. Typical disinformation.

[Bengus81]

8. LOL...no one cares what you think Chuck. Your a washed up game show host looking for some notoriety..

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Shut Up, Chuckie!

Has been and barely was. Twit.

[cyclonefence]

10. Another snowflake

wanting special treatment so he can get a job.

And what *is* with the jewish stuff?

[MurrayDelph]

35. I think he was looking for another excuse

for his career to be over.

A lot of conservatives want to believe there are three types of producers in the business:
1) Liberal
2) Jewish
3) Liberal AND Jewish


So him not getting any work must be because he's a conservative who see's through the Jewish Cabal.

I think, in actual practice, his not getting work probably has more to do with being in a dying field (game shows), and producers preferring to work with "talent" that isn't an asshole.

[AgadorSparticus]

13. Ha! He is his own worst enemy... And has no clue. Like all the rest of them.

They spew hate and alternative "facts" and have no clue the damage that comes out of their mouths. Unless he is applying for faux news, why would anyone want to hire this lightening rod of propaganda? Dumb ass...

[underpants]

14. Maybe you could sell some $50 porcelain dalmations

Wheel used to have the winner of each round spend all their money on products. If you had more than $50 left you HAD TO buy the porcelain Dalmatian.

[oberliner]

15. Are you confusing him with Pat Sajak?

Wheel of Fortune guy?

[underpants]

16. Woolery was the first host

Chuck Woolery (1975–81)
Pat Sajak (1981–89)
Rolf Benirschke (1989)
Bob Goen (1989–91)
Hostess Susan Stafford (1975–82)
Vanna White (1982–91)
Syndication Host Pat Sajak Hostess Vanna White

[brush]

18. Isn't that show still running...with Sajak and White?

[underpants]

20. Yes

Generally at 7:00 pm. Leads right into Jeopardy which is also owned by the late Merv Griffins corp.

[brush]

22. Your dates don't seem to say that.

[oberliner]

21. Gotcha

I remember him on Scrabble.

[Initech]

17. Awww, poor little snowflake!

[SharonClark]

19. He works at the will of the employer, like most Americans.

He's 76 and has earned far more than his "talent" warranted. He should feel lucky.

[Johonny]

23. You know Tim Allen and Clint Eastwood still find work, maybe it's just your lack of talent Chuck

[msongs]

24. he can get a job NOT in hollywood. lots of help wanted signs in store windows around here nt

[DefenseLawyer]

25. I hear him on the radio all the time

He hawks medical supplies to old people. I'm not sure how a recommendation from Chuck Woolery could increase sales, but apparently someone thinks so.

[Ilsa]

33. Some of those ads for junk are on TV, too.

If he endorses it, it's probably a fraud.

[redstatebluegirl]

26. Well he is old and crazy right wing, those don't bode well in Hollywood.

[C_U_L8R]

27. Nobody wants to work with a hateful idiot

Good luck with that job search, Chuck.

[kentuck]

28. You don't need "work"...

You need something much more rare.

[luvMIdog]

29. it's because you are aging & with no particular talent & are just naturally going out to pasture -

that's the showbiz breaks


being a moron doesn't help you any either Chucky

BTW ever notice how these loud mouthed attention seekers act all brave and loud while stating their unwanted opinions everywhere on their social media & then when they lose their jobs they are fall apart like a 6 year old with a broken Christmas toy.

[Dave Starsky]

37. There are guys who are younger and better looking...

...who will do the jobs that require ONLY that you be young and good looking. And these guys will do it for PENNIES on whatever dollar you're asking for, Chuck.

That is the reality of show business. Has been since time began.

[redstateblues]

30. Who the fuck cares?

[NBachers]

31. "Depends" may be interested in a micro-profile spokesman, at commensurate rates.

Maybe he could sell them on commission.

[Warpy]

32. In other words, he's a complete ass who can't handle money

and now he's climbing up on that martyr's cross because he can't get his old gig back.

[rurallib]

34. Maybe he'd have better luck if he looked in the Moscow or

St. Petersburg area. A reference from Donny or Jared might help open some doors.

[Different Drummer]

36. His "two and two" is over. n/t
