Big Chuck!
My Favorite Stories from
47 Years on Cleveland TV

By Chuck Schodowski with Tom Ferran


If you've spent any time in Cleveland you know Big Chuck and you remember such favorites as The Kielbasa Kid and The Certain Ethnic Guy.

Hoolihan and Big Chuck

Hoolihan and Big Chuck


In this easy-reading, laugh-out-loud-funny book Big Chuck takes us on a trip down memory lane. He relates stories of Ernie Anderson (yes, that Ernie Anderson - you may remember him as Ghoulardi), Tim Conway, Hoolihan the Weatherman (Bob Wells), Dick Goddard, Neil Zurcher and of course, 'Lil John (Rinaldi) as well as many others.

He tells of pranks he pulled on people like Brown's legendary coach Paul Brown. He talks about his "fight" with Mike Tyson. He relives some of the amazing fund raisers he did and the good works that resulted.

He talks about his friends, his fans and his family (he's been married for over 50 years and has five children and fourteen grandchildren.)

Not every walk down memory lane is worth taking, but this one most assuredly is. It will prompt memories long ago stored away in our minds. Good memories -memories of growing up in Cleveland with Big Chuck.

In many ways, his story is our story. He was right there with us for almost half a century and now he takes us on a delightful tour of those years.
