Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's FUN being Successful
What hasn't it got? This memoir, probably of Cleveland's greatest icon, will guarantee you laughs as one is introduced to "the certain ethnic man" himself and the jokes that they played on each other behind the scenes.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Here We Go....Again!
From his late-night Friday start on Cleveland, Ohio, television by writing bits for Ernie "Ghoulardi" Anderson, to the improbable (for him) co-hosting stints with Bob "Hoolihan" Wells and "Lil'" John Rinaldi, Chuck Schodowski had an amazing 47-year run delighting viewers on the North Coast through his creative humor that was spiced up with local flavor.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It's a Wonderful Life.
Big Chuck Schodowski tells this story in his own words. At 74 years old, he's had a tremendous career, and made countless friends. Tom Feran, who co-wrote the book, does a great job of letting the Conversational style of Big Chuck come through in the narrative. To read this book, is to hear Big Chuck talking like he's standing right next to you sharing a beer.
