... thought he had what it took to get people to watch and get them to respond to advertising.

Fuck Steven Seagal, and Gwynyth Paltrow. Putting Woolery into their same category is one hell of a stretch.

Both Seagal and Paltrow are well documented jerks and criminals. Name one scandal associated with Woolery.

Woolery was such a crappy games how host how? That he made millions at it and his employers made hundreds of millions? There was no one else on this planet for those networks/production companies/networks to hire so they settled for the worst?

Having never been a fan of game shows (other than the Joan Rivers/Paul Linde Hollywood Squares), I leave the expertise to judge the quality of a game show host in your capable hands. I just wish I was half the failure at anything as you think he was as TV game show host.

You're welcome to your opinion. But I actually knew the guy. I've also known some real buttholes, too. Like the brothers who started Gateway Computers. Had five or six years of interaction to actually know what jerks they were. Trump level butt holes.
