He hadn't coached college football in 20 years. He probably wasn't prepared for NIL at Michigan. RIP

First Chuck Woolery and now Wink. Pat Sajak and Bob Eubanks are probably the last of the classic game show hosts left.

I remember reading he was a neighbor of Barry White and they had become quite close. Interesting guy.

The game show host community has a number of really interesting folks. I recently read Allen Ludden's bio (Password): being married to Betty White automatically gets you some publicity... but several of the hosts are pretty darn interesting: Chuck Woolery, Chuck Barris, and of course Bob Barker.

Quite a subgroup.

Wink seemed like the kinda dude that would throw those weird masquerade sex parties, but he'd just sit in the corner and watch. Richard Dawson would be there, balls-deep in anything with a pulse.
