According to Buzzerblog, Charlie O'Donnell passed away. He passed away overnight. Now a GSN Message Board user (Whom I'm not going to mention his name) said "I don't see why this man would deserve a day of his announcing on Wheel of Fortune which GSN doesn't even have the rights to anymore. I mean, Charlie O' Donnell wasn't that well known of announcer like Olson, Wood, and Clark were."
Well, let me tell you, He may not be a "well-known" announcer but he has been announcing on Wheel of Fortune since the 1980's if I recall correctly. Heck, Johnny Gilbert wasn't well known either and he's been announcing on Jeopardy! since the 1980's.
He has announced on other shows in the past such as (Card Sharks, Trivia Trap, Family Feud, To Tell the Truth) That is according to Wikipedia. They haven't updated his page yet.
