Chuck is the creator and host of the national-television PBS series, America’s Generations With Chuck Underwood, the first such series in the history of national television. This miniseries presents the life stories, thus far, of the Silent, Boomer, GenX, and Millennial generations. It is humorous, poignant, and unforgettable storytelling, presented by Chuck to a full-house theater audience. It’s a mesmerizing stroll down Memory Lane AND a forecast of each generation’s future.
