"Wheel of Fortune" announcer, Charlie O'Donnell has passed away at age 78! He died Sunday at his home in Los Angeles the cause was unknown. O'Donnell was a popular radio DJ in New York before starting his television career in Philadelphia with Dick Clark on "American Bandstand."

He also served as announcer for Oscar and Emmy telecasts and other game shows including "The Newlywed Game."

I'm really sad he died. I've watched "Wheel of Fortune" for years and the interaction between him and Pat Sajak was excellent.
