CHUCK WOOLERY

Veteran game show host Chuck Woolery, 62, opens his life to TV cameras in the Game Show Network's new reality series Naturally Stoned, premiering June 15. The title? It comes from a Top 40 hit Woolery had back in '68. (Who knew?)

On the reason for the show: "Personally, I don't know. When they wanted to do this, I thought. I can't imagine anybody would watch my life. But after we got into it, I thought, 'If it's funny, they'll watch.' "

On rapping the show's theme song: "It was the producer's idea. I'd never rapped in my life. A choreographer was showing me all these hand movements [to do during the rap] and I said, 'I'm Irish. Have you ever watched Riverdance? Their legs are the only thing moving!' "

On why reality bites: "Your guard is down, so you watch sometimes and say, 'Did I say that?' And you wince."

On family feuds: "There's a part where they compare my two sons [ages 13 and 7] and say, 'Trust: Michael. Fear: Sean.' It's very cute, but Sean was terribly Offended by it. He said, 'Dad, tell them not to use that!' Hopefully, he'll like it when he's 15."
