Chuck Woolery, the man who made matchmaking and spinning vowels a national pastime, has passed away at the age of 83. The iconic host of Wheel of Fortune and Love Connection left us all wondering who’ll now supply the charm and dad jokes we didn’t know we needed.

The heartbreaking news came courtesy of his pal and Blunt Force Truth co-host Mark Young, who shared the update on X (formerly known as Twitter, but still as confusing to explain).

β€œWith a shattered heartβ€”and possibly a broken Caps Lock keyβ€”I must share that my dear brother @chuckwoolery has just passed away,” Mark posted. β€œLife won’t be the same without him. RIP, brother.”

Mark, clearly a true friend, later spoke to TMZ, where he shared some additional details. He revealed that he was with Chuck at his Texas home when things took a turn for the worse. Chuck started feeling unwell, and his symptoms escalated to the point where breathing became a struggleβ€”a grim reminder that even TV legends aren’t immune to life’s curveballs.

For those of us who grew up watching Chuck flash his megawatt smile while helping contestants win prizes (and sometimes true love), this news hits like a vowel puzzle without a single clue.

Our heartfelt thoughts go out to Chuck’s loved ones, his many fans, and anyone who ever nervously guessed a consonant on national television because of his encouragement. Rest in peace, Chuck. May your next adventure involve nothing but jackpots and the occasional free spin.
