Lil’ John Presents: The BIG Adios Muchachos Show!
September 13th and 14th, 2025 | Emidio’s Party Center, Cuyahoga Falls, OH

I’m beyond thrilled, and truly humbled, to officially announce that I’ve been invited as a guest to The BIG Adios Muchachos Show, happening September 13th and 14th, 2025 at Emidio’s Party Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

This isn’t just another fan convention or entertainment gathering, this is a heartfelt celebration of the legacy, spirit, and magic of Northeast Ohio television. As someone who grew up watching (and later being inspired by) the iconic personalities who shaped our local airwaves, this is a full-circle moment.

The guest list is nothing short of legendary with names like Lil’ John Rinaldi , Bob “Hoolihan” Wells, Bill Ward, Jim Szymanski, and Tim Taylor, just to name a few. At the heart of this incredible event is a tribute to one of Cleveland’s most beloved figures: the incomparable Big Chuck Schodowski.

To be included in this line-up and to help celebrate a true Cleveland icon is a genuine honor. Big Chuck’s influence runs deep in our region, not only through the laughter he brought into our homes for decades, but also through the way he supported and spotlighted local talent, community, and creativity. His impact continues to ripple across generations.

This event promises to be full of memories, stories, nostalgia, and laughter; I can’t wait to be part of it. Whether you grew up with Ghoulardi, Hoolihan & Big Chuck, Big Chuck & Lil’ John, or just love local TV history, this is a gathering not to miss.

Mark your calendars, and join us for what’s sure to be an unforgettable weekend. Let’s raise a glass, share some laughs, and give one BIG Adios Muchachos to a true Cleveland legend.
