Meet Chuck.

Chuck, the host, holding a microphone

The guy who is absolutely sure he knows what happens next. Chuck got his start filling dead air at a local radio station. He could turn a rain delay into a debate, so they gave him his own show. Now he makes his calls on every public challenge. You make yours. The games decide who gets the last word.
