Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn’t feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of “Wheel of Fortune” back in the late ’70s . . . he went on to host the “Scrabble” game show in the ’80s . . . and of course “Love Connection” from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like “Lingo” on the Game Show Network, and “Greed” on Fox.
There’s no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

“Billboard” put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn’t even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the “violent gesture” he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He’d just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let’s be honest . . . he wouldn’t have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent “finishing moves” from “Mortal Kombat”. (Although that would be amusing.)
