Earlier this week, we showed you an episode of Wheel of Fortune with an all star theme.
Bolstered by the return of Family Feud to its original home, ABC, with a Celebrity format, Sony cut a deal with ABC to bring a similarly formatted Wheel to the Alphabet Network. What that does is it enables Wheel, which is closing in on its 50th anniversary in a few years, to have aired on three different networks over that span (it moved from NBC to CBS for the end of its daytime run).
Following is a sample clip with Paul Reubens.
The crossovers with other ABC games & shows are predictable. Leslie Jones (Supermarket Sweep) played last week. We'll soon see Holey Moley's Joe Tessitore, Rob Riggle, & Jeanne Mai, as well as Drew Carey (The Price is Right), who will make a homecoming to ABC.
And, yes, we'll look at ABC's reboot of The Chase soon enough.
If you haven't been watching the regular Wheel lately, now's a good time to start. Leslie comes off as your average contestant, but almost as hyperactive as, say, Richard Simmons.
Rating: A.
