Chuck Woolery was the first host of Love Connection from 1983 to 1994 before hosting the last two seasons of The Dating Game from 1997 to 1999. One of Woolery's most famous interactions — "It'll be on my tombstone," he quipped — was when he asked, "Where's the strangest place you've made whoopee?" And a woman responded, "In the butt, Bob, definitely in the butt." When prompted to share more about the story he explained:
"There was this girl from Pennsylvania named Olga, and I asked her the strangest place she'd ever made whoopee and she said, 'In the ass.' When they did the Chuck Barris movie Confessions of a Dangerous Mind they called her and they said, 'Olga we're going to put the clip in the movie.' She says, 'Please don't, I'm a grandmother.' They said, 'Well, it's worth $5,000.' She said, 'You put that sucker in!'"
On how dating shows have evolved, Woolery added this anecdote about when he was coming up with the approach to Love Connection in the early '80s:
"The sex part isn't important — and I still think this is true today — because that's the end of the game. The game is how you meet, how you relate to each other, how it develops, where it goes, and that's what it's about. It's the story that counts. In fact, people would say 'Well, Chuck when we woke up the next morning,' and that's about as close to 'We had sex' as we ever got on the show."
But kissing, kissing is "everything," he said. "People can't kiss today, it's amazing."
