Well done. I smell a franchise here: Paul Moyer top thirty, anyone? How about a Hal Fishman top thirty – you’ll get some mileage out of that one, I’m sure. Or better yet, a Steve Edwards top thirty? By the way, whatever happened to Melody Rogers?
i sense a future in vh1 pop-up video my friend
Kent Shocknek top thirty, nuff said…
Huell Howser. Top 100 please.
Funny–instead of referring back to the Chuck Norris inspiration for this, everyone clamors for more on local TV news dudes. We’ll rise to the challenge I’m sure.
31. Chuck Henry has the smoothest forehead of any 60-year-old LA TV anchor.
60?! Wow, he ages really well. And yeah, I too would love to see a Huell Howser and Paul Moyer list.
Not impressed until he becomes a Fark cliche like Ric Romero:

Chuck Henry is Mormon!
http://morgannews.us/media.html
Carlos Amezcua’s daughter is hot, if memory serves.
Nice find anon. Along with the Chuck of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I was surprised to learn Gladys Knight, the Killers, Billy Barty (RIP), Wilford Brimley and Napoleon Dynamite are Mormon too.
Wilford Brimley is a Mormon? What an ironic choice of pitchman for Quaker Oats.
I’ve spent some time with Chuck Henry and here are 3 more facts –
1. He has really bad acne scars
2. He was quite unpopular as a high school student at Bishop Amat in Covina, Ca.
3. He is a SERIOUS asshole in person
Another little known fact is that Chuck Henry has an apartment that smells of rich mahogany and he has many leather-bound books.
I’ve heard that Bill DeMarco also smells of rich mahogany. Perhaps they’re related.
The reason I smell of rich mahogany is because I wear “Rich Mahogany” from Prince Matchabelli. Every man of distinction does.
Donald: Is there anyone else left alive from that era that can corroborate your statement (“He was quite unpopular as a high school student at Bishop Amat…”)?
Which leads me to this fact which I naturally assume to be true:
31. Chuck Henry killed his entire graduating class at Bishop Amat after viewing ‘The Matrix’ and travelling back in time for some reason.
I can’t believe he is 60. Maybe you should add #31: spends half his salary on youth serem (just kidding!)
Just swa Travel Cafe this afternoon (2-19-06) and forgot the name of the place outside of Santa Barbara that has a great tritip/apple horseradish sandwich. Can you help me? Thanks, Sharon
The dude has travelled around the world ten times over and has been paid hansomely for it. I never wanna hear a scenario where people feel sorry for him. He’s probably lived the kind of life most of us could only aspire to attain. But at least he’s not as off-putting as Paul “Blowhard” Moyer.
Chuck, you must check out our restaurant in Los Angeles–Philippe The Original. Started in 1928 by my grandfather, Frank Martin, and today is operated by my family. We will celebrate our 100th year in ’08. The french dip is to die for!!
Chuck, Wondering when your show will feature your visit to the Cooking class at Pechanga Casino. (July 2006)
I spoke to Heull Howser on the phone once. He was a jerk. He said no one would be interested in my idea. Then I found out he did a show on the same subject later that year. Dick!
Oh, BTW, Melody Rogers-Kelley sell reals estale in LA.
Here’s an interesting tidbit: I ran across a Hawaii 5-0 episode with Chuck Henry in it, called ‘Three Dead Cows at Makapuu, part 1′. This had to be early 70′s, Chuck looked quite young as a Navy officer in a cameo role. There was no mention of his name in the ending credits, nothing listed on IMDB but the face and voice were definately him.
Chuck Henry is the smoothest host on TV.
I saw him this morning on Fox News coverage of O J Simpson’s bail hearing. He is front row, center.
Chuck Henry did NOT go to Bishop Amat! He went to Charter Oak High in Covina,Ca, where he was very popular, a nice guy, and the Student Body President. (His younger brother, Terry, was ASB Pres.later). Chuck married his high school girlfriend, Kay, who was pretty and sweet.
I have to say, Kathy is right. My mom went to school with Chuck at Charter Oak, not Bishop Amat. And she had only wonderful things to say about him. Sorry Donald, looks like you are out numbered.
Yes Charter Oak Mr. Recio a spanish teacher used to say what a great student he was

Who the fuck is Chuck Henry?
ANYONE WITH INFO PLEASE HELP! Chuck Henry hosted a Pilot called “Come as You Are” which I guess was never sold. I can’t find any info on it such as date it was Produced. I wanted to add the show to the IMDB page I’m building since I co-wrote theme and the music (Greg Philippi). I believe Chuck said it was based on a japanese game show and date produced was either late 80s or early 90s – I think? Can’t remember. Any help would be much appreciated!

I worked with Chuck in Chicago when he was an anchorman and reporter. He was always a great guy to work with, courteous, and fun. I just spoke to him on air last night, describing the earthquake out here, since I live in La Quinta, and he was nice, and remembered the Chicago days. Of course he was on air, but my memories of Chuck are all positive. He has done very well over the years, and is a good family man.
