A person wearing blue Chuck Taylor All-Stars would run up to it and jump on it, with the camera panning up to reveal Woolery riding the skateboard.
As the show's theme song played, Woolery (or, to be precise, a stunt double) rode the skateboard along the sidewalk, doing tricks and dodging pedestrians on his way into the studio, making it inside just before the door to the stage closed behind him.
As such, every station that Westinghouse Broadcasting owned (with the exception of KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh) cleared the show as did KCAL-TV in Los Angeles, which the company had been trying to purchase (ultimately failing).
In New York City, the nation's largest media market, NBC's competitor CBS bought Woolery's show for its flagship station WCBS-TV.
Of those five, the lowest ratings belonged to Woolery, but Group W decided to put its support behind him and gave the show a commitment for a full season.
As recounted by Randy West, one day Lieber and WCBS' program director were speaking over the telephone and the conversation became increasingly heated as it progressed.
When it had ended, the program director was so angered with Lieber's conduct that the station decided that The Chuck Woolery Show would be moved off of the daytime schedule as soon as possible; it was relegated to airing overnights thereafter.
