Chuck Woolery, the original host of “Wheel of Fortune” and “Love Connection,” passed away on Saturday at his Texas home at the age of 83.

His podcast co-host and close friend, Mark Young, confirmed Woolery’s death in an email on Sunday. He noted that Woolery died peacefully at home with his wife, Kristen, by his side following respiratory issues. “Chuck was a dear friend, a brother, and a tremendous man of faith. Life will not be the same without him,” Young expressed via the Associated Press.

Woolery first gained fame in the late 1970s as the inaugural host of “Wheel of Fortune,” setting the stage for the show to become a fixture in television history. As Rolling Stone reported, he later achieved greater recognition on the dating show “Love Connection,” which he hosted starting in 1983.

Before his television career, Woolery found success in the music industry with the folk-pop band The Avante-Garde, achieving a Top 40 hit. He also released a solo single before transitioning to television.
