00:00From Sony Pictures Studios, it's America's Day!
00:08Wheel of Fortune!
00:12Ladies and gentlemen, here are the stars of our show,
00:16Pat Sinkjack and Vanna White!
00:19Hello! Hi guys.
00:23Thank you, Jim. I appreciate that.
00:26Yes, we do.
00:27I didn't mean to speak to you.
00:29Goodbye.
00:30Bye!
00:31Good to see you guys. Get ready.
00:34There they go. They've got them now.
00:36First toss-up, $1,000 on the map is the category.
00:41Off we go.
00:53Renee.
00:54San Francisco Bay Area?
00:56That is it, she asked.
01:00Renee Walsh is $1,000 richer. Congratulations.
01:04At Oakhurst, New Jersey.
01:05That's right, Pat.
01:06You're married?
01:07I am, to my husband, Jim, for 23 years.
01:10And you're a beach person, are you?
01:12I am a beach person. We live by the beach in New Jersey.
01:15Good. Well, I'm glad you're with us tonight and win a lot of money, okay?
01:18Okay.
01:19We welcome Jacqueline Mayuga, right?
01:21Yes.
01:22She's from San Bernardino, California.
01:23Sure am.
01:24You call yourself a gym rat.
01:25I am. I have been training for powerlifting for almost six months now.
01:28I have my first competition just in a little bit, but the stakes are a little higher today.
01:33Yeah, well, that's exciting.
01:34Do you feel different when you...
01:36I feel like I could spin this wheel really hard.
01:39I can see it taking off.
01:41Hi, Tonino, how are you doing?
01:42Hi, good to see you.
01:43Tonino Privatera, right?
01:44Perfect.
01:45He's from Cave Creek, Arizona.
01:47Speaks four languages, I'm guessing one of them is Italian.
01:49Correct.
01:50That's the fluent one.
01:51So your mom was an Italian immigrant, right?
01:54She was.
01:55She was.
01:56She watched the show religiously at dinner.
01:57It was her happy time.
01:58She did not guess one puzzle ever, and she just loved the two of you and the whole vibe of the show.
02:04Grazie mille.
02:05Everybody else get ready here.
02:07We're going to do another toss-up.
02:08This is worth $2,000.
02:10The category is Bing.
02:26Tonino.
02:27A strong recommendation.
02:28Yes, sir.
02:30Whoo!
02:32So, he's got $2,000 to be spinning in a moment.
02:35Let's check the puzzle.
02:36Same letter is the category.
02:38Every word in the puzzle starts with the same letter.
02:40An extra $1,000 when you figure out what that is.
02:42Tonino, go ahead and spin the wheel.
02:50One more.
02:51There you go.
02:52Not a bad...
02:53What?
02:54Speaking of mille, huh?
02:56A T.
02:57One T. Pick it up.
02:58Stop it.
03:01There you go.
03:02Okay, you can put that right down there.
03:04You have no money to spin, so you'll need to spin the wheel again.
03:11We don't want to do that.
03:12$600.
03:13R.
03:14There is one R, yeah.
03:18I'd like to buy him a vowel.
03:19Okay.
03:20An E.
03:21One E.
03:25Buy another vowel.
03:26An O.
03:27There is no O.
03:28Sorry.
03:29Renee.
03:34$850.
03:35S.
03:36No S either.
03:37Jacqueline.
03:42$700.
03:43N.
03:44No N.
03:45Tonino, back to you.
03:52$550.
03:53L.
03:54One L.
03:55Probably not what you expected it, but there it is.
03:58I'd like to buy a vowel.
03:59Okay.
04:00An A.
04:01There's an A.
04:02Yep.
04:05I'll buy a vowel.
04:06I.
04:07And here comes one I.
04:10Vowels are gone, so spin it or solve it.
04:13You have a million-dollar wedge you're trying to get possession of.
04:17You have to win that round to do it.
04:20$650.
04:21D.
04:22One D.
04:30All right.
04:31What letter would you like?
04:32W.
04:33Well, that's the same letter.
04:34Yeah, you're going to get three of them.
04:36Pick up that trip, the California coast.
04:38Plus, we're going to toss $1,000 in there for you getting that same letter.
04:42So, you have $3,300 and that trip.
04:46You have that million-dollar wedge.
04:47What do you want to do?
04:48What do you want to do?
04:51After he spun, he figured it out.
04:54$500.
04:55M.
04:56Yeah, there you go.
04:59Why don't you just read what's up there?
05:01Warm, wet, and wild.
05:03Yeah, there you go.
05:08So, he couldn't figure the word out, so he spun.
05:10And as soon as he spun, he did.
05:11He thought, oh, my goodness.
05:12If I hit a bankrupt now, I'll just...
05:14All right, hold all that stuff up.
05:15So, that's the California coast trip, that million-dollar wedge.
05:18And let's find out more about the California coast.
05:20Jim?
05:21Okay, this place is a real icon, Tonino.

05:49because you had that toss-up earlier as well,
05:51and a great trip.
05:53Congratulations.
05:54And, of course, the million dollars.
05:55He now controls that.

08:04if she wanted to.
08:05Oh, lookie there.
08:06What letter would you like?
08:08D.

08:16You'd be risking all of that
08:17to see if there's $10,000 behind there.
08:1950-50 chance.
08:20The other unfortunate part of the 50-50 is the bankrupt.

08:25Okay.
08:26So, we're going to give you the money

19:25Big night for our sommelier.
19:26We both like wine.
19:27Yes, we do.
19:28Remember the old days when we first started on the show, we'd get a paper sack and we'd
19:30put it in.
19:31We'd sit on the park bench until the police threw us out.
19:33That was great.
19:34I miss those times.
19:35He's not telling the truth.
19:37You can tell because my lips were moving.
