Show Response: Listeners loved sharing their memories and thoughts with us about Big Chuck.
Hi Chuck,
You and Hoolihan once read a viewer joke on the "Pajama 'Party" segment of your show. The set-up was: "How do you goose a ghost?" You said the punchline was too blue to read! How does this joke end??
I've been waiting years to find out.
Thanks for the memories,
Bruce

Any chance of a local channel running a primetime best of show?

The show actually had good movies from time to time. Are you a 'serious' movie fan?
