Title: R.I.P. Charlie O'Donnell (1932-2010)
Post by: TWCC_VernonMetcalf on November 01, 2010, 08:25:35 PM
Once again, another star has fallen. This time, current "Wheel of Fortune" announcer Charlie O'Donnell passed away in his sleep overnight. He was 78. http://gameshows.about.com/b/2010/11/01/sad-news-charlie-odonnell-wheel-of-fortune-announcer-has-passed-away.htm (http://gameshows.about.com/b/2010/11/01/sad-news-charlie-odonnell-wheel-of-fortune-announcer-has-passed-away.htm)

This was pre-planned.  There are a couple more weeks pre-taped with Johnny, a few with Charlie, and Johnny will be covering until a successor is found.
