00:00From Sony Pictures Studios, it's America's Game!
00:08Wheel of Fortune!
00:13Ladies and gentlemen, here are the stars of our show.
00:17And Zig-Zach and Meta White!
00:20Hello! Howdy! Aren't you nice? Thank you.
00:24We appreciate that. We really do. I'm not just saying that.
00:27I'm saying some other things. Bye.
00:29Hi, gang. How are you doing? Good to see you all.
00:32Ready for this toss-up deal? Grab those devices. Here we go.
00:35$1,000 at stake. Phrase is the category.
00:39Vanna is in place, and here we go.
00:51Megan. Let's do this thing.
00:53Yeah, that's it. We're using the vernacular here.
00:58Because we're pretty hip.
01:00Megan Houston is with us from Rialto, California.
01:03Just won $1,000. Congratulations on that.
01:05Thank you. You're married?
01:06I am to my awesome husband, Doug, about five and a half years.
01:09I recognize you. Have you been in the studio before?
01:11I have. So I was here in elementary school with my Girl Scout troop.
01:15It was Celebrity Week.
01:17Richard Simmons had us doing jumping jacks in the aisles during the commercial breaks.
01:21And then I was lucky enough to win the board game during the commercial break
01:24that LL Cool J signed for me.
01:26Wow. Richard Simmons and a Wheel of Fortune board game.
01:29It was a good day.
01:30Yeah, that's pretty exciting. And you're a runner, huh?
01:32I am. So very much an avid runner in recovery right now.
01:35But I'm aiming to run a half marathon in all 50 states.
01:38You're not a real runner until you're recovering.
01:40Correct.
01:41Nice to have you here.
01:43Hi, Nicole.
01:44Hi.
01:45Nicole LaTarte, right?
01:46Yes.
01:47She's from Anaheim, California, down in Orange County. Married?
01:48Yes, I'm married to my amazing husband, Max.
01:50And we've been married for a little over a year now.
01:52When's your birthday?
01:53October 26th.
01:54When's my birthday?
01:55October 26th.
01:56And you never call?
01:58You have a desire to go to Japan, huh?
02:00Yes, our favorite food is ramen, so that is our dream vacation.
02:04You're going to Japan for the ramen?
02:06Yes, for the food.
02:08Wouldn't it be easier to go to the mall?
02:10I don't know.
02:11That would be a great trip, I'm sure. I hope you get to do it one day.
02:14Hi, Sean.
02:15Hi, Pat.
02:16Sean Zhang is here, also from Anaheim.
02:17Yes, Pat.
02:18As it happens. But you two have never met.
02:19No.
02:20No, okay, good. You're married.
02:22Yes, five years now to my wonderful wife, Heidi.
02:25One child?
02:26Yes, 16 months old. A precious little girl named Genesis.
02:29How many comic books do you own?
02:31I lost count after like 10,000.
02:33What do you do with them? I mean, where are they?
02:35I just put them in a room, organize them, look at them, smell them sometimes.
02:41Old comic books have a certain smell that you just have to appreciate.
02:44I do that with my sock collection.
02:46So, does your wife approve of this?
02:50Nah.
02:52I didn't mean to start trouble. Maybe we should move on. Let's do another toss-up.
02:56This one is worth $2,000. The category is Living Things.
03:12Sean?
03:13Snapping turtle.
03:14Yep, that's it.
03:17So, he gets that second toss-up. He'll be spinning the wheel in a moment.
03:19Right now, Jim has something to say.
03:21Yes, indeed. Here's tonight's featured prize, Pat.
03:32I swear to you, he's not dangerous.
03:34He's a crocodile.
03:35Okay, yes, crocodiles can bite through bone and yes, they have a taste for human flesh.
03:38But he's not like that. He wears a scarf and he can sing.
03:51This one is worth $1,000.
03:57Alright, here we go. Things is the category for our first round.
04:00There's the puzzle. Here goes Sean.
04:02Let's go, Sean.
04:08$600.
04:09R.
04:10I believe there's one.
04:13Can I buy a bow, Pat?
04:15E.
04:16That we can do as well. There are two Es.
04:18Very often I start. See if you can keep it going here.

04:46I'll buy a bow, an A.
04:48That's a good buy. There are three As.
04:58$650.

05:39Yeah, doing just fine here. One S.
05:42Takes you over $3,000.
05:45$600.
05:51$650.
05:52C.
05:53Yes, one C.
06:01Letter.

06:03Yeah, there's an L. Pick up that wild card.
06:06An extra $500 as well. You have $4,300.
06:09I'd like to buy a vowel.
06:11A U.
06:12Yes, there are two U's.
06:16All the vowels are gone. Spin or solve?
06:23Oh, man.
06:25I'm sorry. You know what? You have to get rid of that wild card as well.
06:28Nicole, a break for you. Are you going to spin or solve it?
06:30I'd like to solve.
06:31Okay.
06:32Candles around the bathtub.
06:34Yeah, that's it.
06:36Well, you have no money, but you have a $1,000 minimum,
06:39so you got that.
06:40It's a romantic thing to do.
06:41Just a little tip for you folks at home.
06:43It does not work in the shower.
06:44That's the only thing I want to mention.
06:46We'll be back.
06:57All right, Jim, thank you very much.
06:58Food and drink is the category for this round.
07:00And who's going to start here?
07:02Megan, it's going to be you.
07:03All right.
07:06$600.
07:10N.
07:11Do we have an N for her? We have two, yes.
07:17I'd like to buy a vowel.
07:19An O.
07:20Yes.
07:21Two O's.
07:28And then the wheel says you're done for now.
07:31I'm sorry.
07:32Nicole.
07:34I've got a thought.
07:39Well, it doesn't help either, does it?

18:20It reminds me, every time I go into a store,
18:22drugstore, any place,
18:23they want you to join their club.
18:24Mm-hmm.
18:25And I don't want to join their club.
18:26And they get really angry.
18:27They say, please, you'd save money.
18:28I said, I don't want to.
18:29I can't make the meetings.
18:30I don't know the handshake.
18:31I can't do it.
18:32And besides, what they're saying to me is,
18:34if you don't join our club,
18:35we're going to charge you more.
18:36That's how I feel.
18:37I bet you belong to lots of clubs.
18:38I do.
18:39That's good.
18:40We'll see you next time.
