Chuck and Lil' John Show, finally ending in 2007 after a combined total run of 40 years. Later years In 1979, Wells became program director of WCLF-TV channel 22, a Christian television station located in Largo, Florida and serving the Tampa Bay area. WCLF went on the air in October 1979 as the flagship station for the newly founded Christian Television Network, which aired programming such as The PTL Club and The 700 Club. Wells and his wife also co-hosted an evening 90-minute Christian-themed interview, music and news program on WCLF called Horizons 22. According to Wells, after a board member of WCLF objected to them on the show as lacking in spirituality (saying, "They look good, they sound good, but I just don't feel The Spirit moving there"), Wells and his wife were let go from WCLF after only three months. Later, John Wesley Fletcher, a founding member of the board of WCLF (and the one who objected to the Wells), was implicated in sex scandals involving PTL Club co-host Jim Bakker. Wells has expressed relief that he and his wife were no longer involved with the station by that time. Following WCLF, Wells would continue to work for other Tampa Bay stations for short periods, including WFLA-TV (as local host of The Baxters in 1981), WTOG (as weatherman and station personality), and Group W Cable (as spokesperson). Wells went on to own and operate a financial planning company in Florida for 33 years. He also continued to do radio and TV commercial work, and has been active in local theater. He has made regular annual appearances at "Ghoulardifest" functions in Cleveland, held in tribute to Ernie Anderson, who died in 1997. As of 2007, Wells was semi-retired and living in Clearwater, Florida, continuing his commercial, acting and community service work. Film and TV show appearances Over the years, Wells appeared in several movies and TV shows, most notably Carl Reiner's 1985 movie Summer Rental starring John Candy, Richard Crenna and Rip Torn, which was filmed in the Tampa Bay area. Wells played the part of attorney Stan Greene, and his wife Barbara appeared in two bit parts as a neighbor and a yacht club official. Wells also appeared in the 1970 film Ghetto Freaks, which was filmed in Cleveland. Wells' TV roles include playing a TV reporter in the 1980 made-for-TV movie OHMS and a news anchor in
