00:21Ladies and gentlemen, here are the stars of America's Game.
00:25That's Saint Jack and Betta White.
00:28Wow! Hello, hello!
00:31Thank you very much. Thank Jim.
00:34I appreciate that.
00:36Should be fun tonight.
00:38We have three college students with us.
00:40Look at that, all dressed up in their school garb, and we'll talk to them in a moment.
00:44Right now, let's give away some money here.
00:45$1,000 in our first toss-up. The category is People.
00:49And here we go.
00:59Geronimo.
01:00American President.
01:02Yeah, that's right.
01:04Geronimo Parra is here, right?
01:06Yes.
01:07From Stockton, California. California State University, East Bay, right?
01:11Of course.
01:12So tell us about your major and minor and what you hope to do now.
01:15Right. I am currently majoring in biology with a concentration in microbiology.
01:19I'm also minoring in Spanish, as you can tell.
01:23Yes.
01:24You're part of the school's orientation team, they tell me.
01:27Yes, I work for our school's orientation team, welcoming all our new students.
01:32We commonly are calling ourselves O-Team.
01:36And I'm also a resident assistant or an RA for also our incoming freshmen.
01:41And that is a very diverse job.
01:45Yes, it is. And a quick hello to your favorite comedian, who is what?
01:49Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias.
01:51Hi, Fluffy. Fluffy people here on Wheel 2.
01:57Usually when people say, hi, Fluffy, on the show, they're talking about their dogs or cats.
02:00But you were talking about comedians.
02:02He's very funny.
02:03Yes.
02:04Nice to have you here.
02:05Hi, Quincy. How you doing?
02:06Hey, Pat.
02:07Quincy Howard, Dublin, Georgia. Georgia Institute of Technology.
02:11Yes, sir.
02:12You're a sophomore, right?
02:13Yes, sir. Majoring in industrial engineering.
02:15And I hope to get my master's. And I also made a 4.0 last semester.
02:19Good for you. That's something you should brag about. Absolutely.
02:22Tell us about some of your extracurricular stuff here.
02:25Yes, sir. I'm involved in the National Society of Black Engineers.
02:28I'm part of the African-American Student Union.
02:31And I also just wanted to give a shout out to my parents.
02:33I know they're here today. They're both educators.
02:35And they had a little tussle about who gave me the skills to be here.
02:39And you're not going to play favorites, I'm guessing.
02:41Oh, no.
02:42You're pretty smart there, yeah.
02:43All right. Good to have you here.
02:44Hi, McKenna.
02:45Hi, Pat.
02:46McKenna Dahm is here from West Hills, California.
02:48A sophomore at UC San Diego.
02:50Yes, sir.
02:51That's a nice place down there.
02:53I love it.
02:54Yep. Talk about your major.
02:55I'm a biochemistry major on the pre-med track.
02:57And I'm hoping to pursue anesthesiology someday through that.
03:00So med school ahead, we think, huh?
03:02Yes, sir.
03:03And so you like old music.
03:07I mean, you like new music, too.
03:08But do you collect sheet music?
03:10Yes, I do.
03:11I sang in my high school's choir for all four years.
03:14And I kept every single song that we ever sang.
03:16And to this day, I still like to sit down at my piano and play out the song
03:19and try to sing to it and bring back old memories of choir.
03:22That sounds very nice.
03:24Would you like to win some money?
03:25Yes, please.
03:26Okay, good.
03:27Well, then everybody get ready for our next toss-up.
03:28It's worth $2,000.
03:30And the category is On the Map.
03:41A hill or moan?
03:42Louisville, Kentucky.
03:44That's it.
03:48So, you got both toss-ups.
03:49You have $3,000.
03:51And we have Jim Thornton.
03:52Yeah, I'm ready for adventure, Pat.
03:54Here's tonight's featured prize.

04:28Things is the category for this round.
04:30And Geronimo, you're going to start.
04:32Let's do this.
04:38And that's a pretty good first spin.
04:41S.
04:43Okay, you got it.
04:44One S.
04:45Way down at the other end.
04:48Okay.
04:49I'd like to buy an E.
04:51Yes, three Es.

05:00H.
05:02Yeah, did it again.
05:03One H.
05:06I'd like to buy a vowel.

05:09And we have that, too.
05:10One A.
05:17$600.
05:18R.
05:19No, afraid not.
05:20No R.
05:21Quincy.
05:22Let's go, Quincy.
05:27$700.
05:28C.
05:29Three Cs.
05:37Hey, hey, hey.
05:38Yeah.
05:39Well, let's have a letter.
05:40N.
05:41Yep.
05:42Three Ns.
05:43Pick up that prize, Quincy.
05:44You know where it goes.
05:45That South Africa trip Jim talked about with $9,400.
05:49You have that and $3,600 cash.
05:51What do you want to do?
05:52I want to solve.
05:53Yeah, I'll bet.
05:54Go ahead.
05:55I'll bet on science and technology.
05:57You got it.
05:58Yes, sir.
05:59That's a pretty impressive first round.
06:02Well, hold up your trip there, and I can tell you that you have $13,000 already.
06:07So it's going to be a big night here for money and prizes and stuff.
06:11I'm sure of it.
06:17Wheel's making spirits bright.
06:19I could be your Secret Santa.
06:21Everything I win, you could win.
06:23It's our Secret Santa holiday giveaway.
06:25I love Secret Santa.
06:27Wheel watchers could win whatever the contestants win, from cash to magical Disney vacations.
06:32Watch Wheel next week for your spin ID to see if you've won.
06:35Happy holidays and good luck.
06:37$10,000.
06:41All right, boys and girls, here we go.
06:42Before and after is the category for this next round.
06:45And there it is.
06:46Quincy, who had a good last round, is going to start this one.
06:54$600.
06:55T.
06:56Yep. Off he goes again.
06:57One T.
07:05$850.
07:06N.
07:07One N.
07:13And he owns $650.
07:15R.
07:16Yep.
07:17Four R's.
07:20Well, you're already up over $4,000.
07:22$4,000.
07:23What do you want to do?
07:24I want to buy a vowel.
07:25All right.
07:26E.
07:27There are four E's coming your way.
07:33I want to buy another vowel.
07:34Sure.
07:35A.
07:36You got it.
07:37Three A's.
07:41You can buy another or spin it or try to solve it.
07:43I'm going to buy one more.
07:44All right.
07:45O.
07:46Uh-huh. Two O's.
07:49You mean it when you said just one more?
07:51Let's do one more.
07:52Okay.
07:53I.
07:54Yeah, there's an I.
07:56You bought the right ones because they're all gone now, Quincy.
08:00You bought us out of vowels.
08:01I would like to solve.
08:02Go ahead.
08:03Alphabetical order of french fries.
08:07Yeah, that's...
08:11Scared me.
08:14I thought we were in a space-time continuum there for a moment.
08:18$3,050.
08:19That means you're up to $16,050.
08:21Nice going.
08:24Well, that was quick.
08:25We'll be back on the Prize Puzzle.
08:39All right, here we go.
08:40Living Things, the category for our Prize Puzzle round.
08:43And, McKenna, you get to start this one.
08:45Come on.
08:47McKenna.
08:52Ooh, well, let's start with a letter.
08:55S.
08:56Two S's.
08:57$2,000.
08:58Now, obviously, it's very early, but if you do this express thing,
09:02you can keep calling consonants.
09:03You get 1,000 for each one.
09:05You can buy vowels along the way.
09:06If you miss any letter, it's a bankrupt.
09:08You gonna do this?
09:09No, thank you.
09:11Okay.
09:12Uh, go ahead.
09:14McKenna.
09:17I've never been so thoroughly rejected.
09:20$550.
09:21R.
09:23One R.
09:26I'll buy a vowel.
09:27Okay.
09:28An E.
09:29There are four E's.
09:37That's pretty good.
09:39T.
09:40Yep.
09:41Two T's.
09:43And, McKenna, you have $9,300.
09:46I'll buy a vowel.
09:47Yes.
09:48An I.
09:49Two I's.
09:56Whoa, 600.
09:58H.
09:59Yeah, one H.
10:00Hasn't missed yet.
10:05Now, the only thing that can stop you is that wheel.
10:08The good news is we're not gonna touch anything there
10:10in terms of the cash.
10:11We're gonna give it back to you.
10:12I don't anymore.
10:13Go ahead.
10:14Of course.
10:19$650.
10:20W.
10:21Uh-huh.
10:22One W.
10:24I'd like to buy a vowel.
10:25All right.
10:26A.
10:27Yep.
10:28One A.
10:30I'd also like to buy an O.
10:32And there is an O as well right there.
10:35No more vowels, though.
10:42L.
10:43Yes, two L's.
10:47$1,250.
10:48He is spinning again.
10:53Whoa, man.
10:55800.
10:56F.
10:57Yeah, there's an F.
11:00We're getting there.
11:06You are playing it dangerously here.
11:08900.
11:09Speaking of dangerous, D.
11:11Yes, there's a D.
11:20$650.
11:21N.
11:22One N.
11:30And, of course, another close call.
11:32P.
11:33There's no P.
11:35Quincy.
11:41700.
11:42G.
11:43Yeah, there is a G.
11:46I'd like to solve.
11:47Yep.
11:48Trees filled with mangoes.
11:51Yeah, that's it.
11:54Well, the bad news is you only got $700.
11:58The good news is you're gonna be spending it in Maui, so that's not good.
12:05Quincy, this place gets an A plus for Aloha.
12:09Experience Hawaii's most Hawaiian hotel at Kaanapali Beach Hotel in beautiful Maui.
12:14With unmatched views of neighboring islands nestled on an award-winning beach.
12:18Visit kvhmaui.com.
12:21$7,600.
12:24There you go.
12:25I guess more properly you'd be spending it on Maui, not in Maui.
12:28And $8,300 that round.
12:30You have $24,350.
12:32But we are not finished.
12:34It's Wheel of Fortune.
12:35We've got plenty of dough.
12:36Come on back.
12:37Triple Toss-Up coming up.
12:42All right, here's tonight's Triple Toss-Up.
12:44What are you doing is the category.
12:46And here comes number one.
12:55Quincy.
12:56Reading a newspaper.
12:58Yeah, that's it.
13:00He gets first.
13:02That should leave two more.
13:08Oh, Quincy.
13:10Reading a book.
13:11No, everybody else now.
13:14And it's synonymous.
13:15Reading a...
13:18Okay.
13:19Just make sure you know it before.
13:21Just do it before all the letters come up.
13:23Take your time.
13:26Reading a poem.
13:27There you go.
13:30All right, now I see some money under your name.
13:32$2,000.
13:33And we have one more coming.
13:38All right.
13:47Quincy.
13:48Reading the lunch menu.
13:50Yeah, that's it.
13:53So, he gets two of the three and up to over $28,000 now.
13:57Freeze is the category for this next round.
13:59And Quincy got that last toss-up.
14:01So, you control the wheel.
14:02Give it a spin.
14:03Let's go, Quincy.
14:08$500.
14:09S.
14:10One S.
14:19$600.
14:20T.
14:21Two Ts.
14:26Ah, that sound means time is running short.
14:28So, Quincy, I ask you to give the wheel a final spin.
14:33We'll see how much every consonant will be worth.
14:38It'll be $1,900 for every consonant.
14:40A letter from you, Quincy.
14:42N.
14:44Three Ns.
14:48Time is running out.
14:51That's it.
14:55That was so fast, time ran out on me.
14:58Nice job.
14:59$7,400 that round.
15:01A big night for you.
15:02$35,750.
15:04Nice job.
15:06Don't leave.
15:07I'll come back and talk to you in a moment.
15:08Well, everybody got a little money.
15:09We're happy about that.
15:10I hope you had a good time.
15:11It was nice to have you here.
15:12And you got $3,000.
15:13Thank you very much.
15:14We didn't use the true win.
15:15No.
15:16I appreciate that.
15:17Thank you very much.
15:18I hope you had fun, too.
15:19I did.
15:20Thank you so much.
15:21It was great to have you here, McKenna.
15:23You have $2,000.
15:24And thank you both for being here.
15:25And now, you're going to pick a category.
15:27Thing, people, and phrase.
15:29What do you like?
15:31People.
15:32Yeah, but he gave it away.
15:34But that's his choice.
15:35We'll see what he can bet.
15:38Wow, you're having a big night.
15:39Is this the quickest you've ever earned, $35,750?
15:42I think so.
15:45Who's with you tonight?
15:46My parents, my mom and dad.
15:48Hey, y'all.
15:49Yeah, they look pretty proud.
15:50And it's hard to blame them.
15:52So, are you ready for this thing?
15:54I guess so.
15:55So, we have lots of money out here, including that $100,000 envelope.
15:58We have a lovely car.
15:59We have lots of other cash.
16:01Give it a spin, Quincy.
16:02All right.
16:04Go!
16:10All right.
16:12It keeps going around.
16:16And what do we got?
16:17Oh, the old E.
16:19All right, follow me, please.
16:22Right there is where you'll stop on that mark.
16:24You're going to work on this puzzle.
16:25You chose people as your category, right?
16:28R, S, T, L, and E.
16:29Vanna will get some letters up there for you.
16:33All right.
16:34Decent head start.
16:35And now you have to go to work.
16:36We need three more consonants and one more vowel.
16:41A.
16:43All right, now we need three consonants from it.
16:46P.
16:48G.
16:51And D.
16:53All right.
16:54Well, you'll get some help.
16:55Will it be enough?
16:56I guess that's always the big question.
16:58Nothing from our audience, please.
17:03All right.
17:04It looks like a look of relief.
17:06Let's find out.
17:07People the category.
17:08Ten seconds.
17:09Good luck.
17:11Kids at Play.
17:13That is it.
17:18Curious about this at all?
17:20Would you like a Mini Cooper?
17:22Yes.
17:28Quincy, graduate with honors in your all-new Mini Cooper.
17:32Turbocharged with superior engineering,
17:34world-famous handling,
17:35and a brand-new design
17:37from Nick Alexander Imports.
17:39$33,850.
17:44Come on over.
17:49Well, he's in his car.
17:50That's for sure.
17:51$69,600, Richard.
17:54Exciting, huh?
17:57Hey, Wheel Watchers.
17:58If you don't follow me on Instagram,
18:00then you're missing out on exclusive interviews,
18:02behind-the-scenes moments,
18:03and so much more.
18:04So follow me,
18:05at Maggie Sajak.
18:08So this isn't fascinating news,
18:09but I bought a new clock
18:11for my bedside table the other day.
18:12Yes.
18:13I needed one.
18:14And the guy that was selling it to me
18:15was very excited about this feature
18:16that I think is the dumbest feature,
18:18and I think you agree with me.
18:19We may have talked about this before.
18:20Tell me.
18:21The snooze alarm.
18:22Oh.
18:23I don't understand the snooze alarm.
18:24If you have to get up at 7 o'clock,
18:25get up at 7.
18:26Why do you want to get up at 6.30
18:27so that you can wake up three more times
18:29before it's 7 o'clock?
18:30I don't understand.
18:31I agree with you.
18:32There you go.
18:33Yeah.
18:34All right.
18:35No more snoozes.
18:36No more snoozes.
18:37That's right.
18:38Just sleep until you have to get up.
18:39That's all.
18:40It's like the nurse
18:41who gives you the sleeping pill
18:42when she wakes you up in the middle of the night.
18:43Anyway, that's all I've got.
18:44My rant is through.
18:45We'll see you next time.
18:46Just sleep.
