What's the Story?
CELEBRITY WHEEL OF FORTUNE is a Wheel Of Fortune spin-off featuring popular celebs playing for charity. Pat Sajak and Vanna White host the series, which offers multiple opportunities to win a million dollars for their chosen cause. Bonus cash is also handed out so that no one leaves with less than $30K. Viewers at home also get a chance to play for cash, too.
Is It Any Good?
This lively installment of the Wheel Of Fortune franchise offers viewers the same vowel-buying fun that the original series offers. Adding to the fray are the antics of the contestants, including people like Supermarket Sweep's Leslie Jones, Queer Eye's Karamo Brown, skateboarder Tony Hawk, and actress Teri Hatcher, who all enjoy the chance to play the iconic game and to win cash for charity.
It's not the first time celebrities have appeared on Wheel of Fortune. But Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune marks the first time that the series is airing on prime time. Meanwhile, despite the multiple opportunities the game offers to win the big jackpot, it still makes the process very complicated, which makes watching all the more fun. It's a highly entertaining show being played for good causes -- a win for everyone.
