Chuck Schodowski

“Big Chuck” Schodowski began his television career as an engineer at KYW Channel 3 in 1960, but quickly moved to a temporary position at WJW TV8, which lasted for 47 years.

Schodowski appeared in humorous sketches with Ernie “Ghoulardi” Anderson on the late-night TV show Shock Theater and eventually took over as co-host with Bob “Hoolihan” Wells, and later alongside Lil' John Rinaldi on The Big Chuck & Lil' John Show. He is the recipient of two-dozen local Emmys, numerous television and film awards, and a Grammy nomination. Schodowski retired from television in 2007 but continues to make public appearances and host the annual Ghoulardifest.
