Jacobs Chuck Uk

He was the first announcer for The Joker's Wild, which starred Jack Barry and debuted on CBS in 1972. Barry employed Jacobs on many Barry & Enright/Jack Barry Productions game shows during the early-to-mid 1970s, including Blank Check and Hollywood's Talking. Most notably, however, Chuck Barris used Jacobs' voice talents on the aforementioned The Newlywed Game and The Dating Game and other Barris productions like Three's a Crowd and The Gong Show. His last job was announcing a Barris-produced version of Treasure Hunt which was syndicated during the 1981-82 season (Jacobs had also announced Barris' mid-1970s version of Treasure Hunt as well), but illness forced him to step down by late 1981 and he was replaced by frequent Barris fill-in announcer Tony McClay.The 65-year-old Jacobs died in Stockton, California, where he owned radio station KWG.
