Chuck Schodowski’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.
Chuck Schodowski was born in the Year of the Dog. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Dog are loyal, faithful, honest, distrustful, often guilty of telling white lies, temperamental, prone to mood swings, dogmatic, and sensitive. Dogs excel in business but have trouble finding mates. Compatible with Tiger or Horse.
Chuck's TV career began at WJW-TV8 in 1960 as an engineer. In 1969 he was promoted to director/producer. WJW is where Chuck met Ernie Anderson and Tim Conway. Chuck began working with them on Ernie's show (Ghoulardi) in 1963.
He reluctantly started doing sketches for the show, first as "handsome, debonair, downstairs neighbor, Jerry Kreegle". When Tim and Ernie left for Los Angeles, the Hoolihan & Big Chuck Show took over Ghouldardi's time slot in 1966 with Bob Wells as Hoolihan.
When Bob left for Florida in 1979, the show became The Big Chuck and Lil' John Show, with John Rinaldi. The show continued until 2007 when Chuck retired. In 2011 Chuck and Lil' John are back showing old skits as, apparently, after 47 years Chuck missed TV.
The show(s) were so popular they beat The Tonight Show in the ratings. This made everyone want to be on the show. Of the famous guests they had come to do skits were Imogene Coca, Andy Griffith, Pat Paulsen, Ken ("The Hawk") Harrelson, Sam McDowell, Takeru Kobayashi, Muhammad Ali, Janice Pennington, Bobby Vinton, Mel Torme, Bill Hufsey, Bob ("Mad Dog") McGuire and Chuck's co-author Tom Feran.
Chuck even went three rounds with Mike Tyson.Bob ("Mad Dog") McGuire came on the show to do his act for "New Talent Time" in 1983. He brought with him a new song, Moon over Parma. Drew Carey saw it on a rerun and when Drew was starring in his own show bought the song and it became the first season theme.
Chuck has 28 local Emmys and 3 international film festival medals. He directed several made-for-TV movies of which Heartsong, U.S.A. is one he won an Emmy for. Brock Peters does the narration for this Thanksgiving special.
Chuck also directed Burgess Meredith in The Wandering Muse of Artemus Flagg in 1977.Chuck even "played" a photographer in The Fortune Cookie, mimicking his other job for the Browns and Indians.
