The Superman Super Site is proud to introduce a new weekly series entitled "The Forgotten Supermen" where, each Monday, we will feature an actor that has portrayed the Man of Steel in a particular form of media such as television, film, or radio.

This week's forgotten Superman is game show host Chuck Woolery who appeared as Superman in the 1973 ABC Saturday morning cartoons fall preview special, "Sneek Peak" hosted by comedians Jack Burns and Avery Schreiber.

Woolery, alongside an unknown actor playing Batman, were featured in a segment during the special to introduce a clip from the new "Super Friends" animated series.

Woolery was born March 16, 1941 in Ashland, Kentucky and is best known for his career as a game show host on such programs as "Love Connection", "Lingo", and "Wheel of Fortune" prior to current host, Pat Sajak.

Woolery originally set his sights on a career in the music industry and, alongside Elkin "Bubba" Fowler, recorded as the musical duo The Avant-Garde which had one-hit wonder success in 1968 with the top 40 pop hit "Naturally Stoned." Following two years of naval service, Woolery studied economics and sociology at Morehead State University in Morehead, Kentucky. After college, the Kentucky native held various jobs including positions as a wine consultant for a leading German importer and as a sales representative at Pillsbury.

Still yearning to make music, Woolery went to Nashville and formed the rock band “Avant Garde.” The band landed on the Top 40 charts with the song “Naturally Stoned”, which Woolery wrote and produced, but Avant Garde disbanded shortly afterward. Signing a solo record contract with RCA Records, Woolery moved to Los Angeles and broadened his aspirations to include acting.

Woolery landed his first role as Mr. Dingle in New Zoo Revue, a syndicated series for children. He went on to co-star with Cheryl Ladd and Rosie Grier in his first feature film, 1974’s Treasure of Jamaica Reef. That same year he was also the featured vocalist on the revised series Your Hit Parade.

It was a guest appearance on The Merv Griffin Show that triggered Woolery’s career as a game show host. After the show, Griffin invited him to audition for a newly created game show called "Wheel of Fortune." Woolery got the job and the program premiered on NBC’s daytime schedule in January of 1975. Woolery’s seven-year run as host of Wheel of Fortune earned him an Emmy award nomination for Best Host of a Game Show (1997-98 season).

During his 11-year run as host of "Love Connection", Woolery established the infamous "back in two and two" catch phrase and simultaneously served as the host of "Scrabble."

In 1991, Woolery hosted his own syndicated talk show and later served as co-host of "Home and Family" on The Family Channel. Woolery joined "The Dating Game" in 1997 to re-launch the vintage version of the popular relationship show. In 1999, he hosted the prime time game show "Greed", which currently airs in syndication on the Game Show Network. In recent years, Woolery hosted "Lingo" for GSN from 2002 - 2007 and guest starred on the hit Lifetime series, "Drop Dead Diva" in 2009.

Woolery is also a bass fishing enthusiast and sells his own line of fishing products, including the "MotoLure," a motorized lure that simulates the motions of a small fish. Woolery's passion for the outdoors has also enabled him to become the official outdoor spokesman on QVC, where he promotes many other signature products.

Woolery currently resides in Los Angeles with his fourth wife, Kim Barnes whom he married in 2006.
