When asked what he’s been up to lately, Wallace said he loves to shop.<\/p>\n
“I have a problem, I got, what do you call it? Compulsive shopping. Hosea, I will buy anything on television,” Wallace said. “I get home; I just start opening boxes. I got shoes, at least 15 brand new shoes, how stupid I am. I wear the same pair all the time. This is a little bitty camera, and you hide it to catch people break into your house. Sometimes, you get old like me and forget what you buy, and I bought two of them. Don’t laugh at me.”<\/p>\n
He was also on “Celebrity Family Feud.”<\/p>\n
“We had a good time, that was so much fun,” Wallace said. “We won $25,000 for my charity, Smile Train – Operation Smile.”<\/p>\n
Wallace knows when to come to Chicago.<\/p>\n
“The most beautiful time to be in Chicago is in the fall, Oct. 12. That is on a Sunday. I say, go to church and get saved. Come to the show and start raising hell again like you always do,” Wallace said.<\/p>\n
The 5 p.m. show Sunday at City Winery Chicago in the West Loop is sold out, but you can sign up for the waitlist.<\/p>\n
There are still tickets for the 8:30 p.m. George Wallace performance available.<\/p>\n
