Many many many moons ago, Chuck Woolery was on "The Pat Sajak Show", Pat's short-lived talk show on CBS late night. I distinctly remember Chuck mentioning the fact that he knew Vanna before Pat did. I forget how they knew one another, but Chuck & Vanna did indeed know one another.
Sajak is cool, and I do not dislike him at all. That being said, I still, some almost 30 years later, still think upon him as the "new" WOF host. I think Chuck & Vanna together would have really been dynamite. Chuck is really great, but I cannot help but wonder if he has ever kicked himself or had moments of deep regret that he left the show in December of '81, given how it's had a most amazing 27, soon to be 28 year run in syndication.
