Big Chuck
by
Chuck Schodowski with Tom Feran
Adult Biography.
For those in the greater Cleveland viewing area who spent most Friday nights waiting up for the Channel 8 late night movie and skits, this book is a treat. Other people will not read this book, so it has a limited appeal. Certainly, Cleveland area bookstores and libraries should stock this book. It would also make a good gift book for someone you know that watched the show.
Chuck recounts his hard working days as a technician at Channel 8 and his long career as Big Chuck, movie host. The book is full of reminiscing about Cleveland, Cleveland sports, Cleveland television, and the television industry. There are a lot of things the average Big Chuck and Lil John viewer would not know, like how his friends tried to talk him into moving to Los Angeles for a big time movie career, or how there was a short-lived Detroit version of the Big Chuck and Lil John show. He also recounts of all kinds of practical jokes played on him and by him. If you want ideas on how to pull a prank, see Chuck for instructions.
If your copy of this book has butter stains on it, someone was probably reading it accompanied by a tub of popcorn.
