“Blunt Force Truth,” which Mr. Woolery hosts with a like-minded friend, Mark Young, has<br />been around since late 2014, at times rising to the Top 10 on the podcast charts.<br />LOS ANGELES — When it comes to Hollywood reincarnations, this one may top them all: Chuck Woolery, the affable, unflappable,<br />Everyman host of 1980s-era game shows like “Love Connection,” re-emerged as … a right-wing podcaster?<br />Why would people want to take advice from a group of people who pretend to be other people for a living?”<br />The 75-year-old Mr. Woolery may have slipped from some of our minds since his days<br />gently guiding “Scrabble” players through that odd tile-dropping process.<br />(“I will pray that Mike Pence will have a great impression on Donald Trump and make him more conservative,” Mr. Woolery said in one appearance.)<br />“We’re not the biggest voice in politics, but we’re still an important voice,” Mr. Young said during a joint phone interview with Mr. Woolery.<br />Had Mr. Trump not won the election, Hollywood could have continued to ignore Mr. Woolery<br />and Mr. Young, 59, as two more pontificating cranks: Ho-hum, and back to NPR.
