you mean Jim Thorton or the late Charlie O'Donnell?

Charlie O'Donnell was great, but they were both good.

How long ago did he stop announcing? It wasn't too long ago I thought. But then again, I don't really watch the show

technically Charlie didn't stop annoucing he was sick, very sick to be precise i remember two years ago when Johnny Gilbert from Jeopardy! was the fill-in for the week during their Wheel Loves L.A. shows.

so due to his death Charlie O' Donnell stop in 2010 and Jim Thorton started in 2011.

i hope this makes sense to you Lingofan97!

Charlie indeed was sick. It was intended, I think, to be a short term fill-in deal. But the first day Johnny subbed turned out to be Charlie's last (11/1/10). His death was announced on the Friday show, coincidentally the Caitlin Burke show (11/5/10).

Wow. Only a week long period that happened.

And who's Caitlyn Burke?

And who's Caitlyn Burke?

She was the contestant who famously answered a puzzle ("I'VE GOT A GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS") with only one letter on the board.

some people say Charlie died on October 31 (Halloween) while others say November 1 so i'm not sure which date that Charlie O' died.

As one who added it to Wikipedia, me and one or two other editors haggled on it a couple of days before settling on 11/1/10. Though I suppose either would be valid.

Oh, I do remember who that is and she was featured on GSN's "The World Needs More Winners" in 2010, which sadly is not shown on the network anymore

it's C-A-I-T-L-I-N not C-A-I-T-L-Y-N!

[Lingofan97]

Caitlyn, Caitlin, Kaitlyn, Katelyn, Katelin, Kaitlin, Kate Lin...all pronounced the same.

[Melyssa56]

So are Melyssa, Melissa, Mellisa, Melisa, Mylissa, and Milissa. Including myself, I know women with 3 of the 6 spellings listed herein.

[patnvanna83]
