Bob "Hoolihan" Wells

Robert D. Wells (born September 27, 1933), known as Bob "Hoolihan" Wells, is an American former television and radio personality and actor, who is best known to Cleveland, Ohio television viewers for his appearances on the then-CBS affiliate WJW TV Channel 8 during the 1960s and 1970s as "Hoolihan the Weatherman" and one-half of the Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show movie hosting team. Wells and partner Charles "Big Chuck" Schodowski replaced the former movie host, Ernie Anderson aka "Ghoulardi," in 1966 when Anderson left for Los Angeles to pursue a free-lance announcing and acting career.

The Hoolihan and Big Chuck Show aired late Friday nights on WJW for 13 years from December 23, 1966 to August 1979, when Wells left the show and relocated to Florida, to new Christian TV station, WCLF-TV, to co-host with wife, Barbara, a daily 90-minute interview, news, and music program, called "Horizons 22". After Wells' departure, Schodowski promoted cast member John "Lil' John" Rinaldi to co-host and the show continued for another 28 years as The Big Chuck and Lil' John Show.
