Don't know how long the waiting period is but I'll sign up if I'm not too early.

(as the audience chants, the contestants run to their spots) Audience: WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE![OPENING THEME](cheers and applause) (As we pan through the stage, a graphic of the Wheel forms, starting with several colored rings curling into place to form the frame of the Wheel, followed by the wedges falling down to form the Wheel itself, which transforms into this logo.) Jim Thornton: (VO) From the Sony Pictures Studios, it's America's game!(the animation reverses itself over a shot of the audience) The famous Wheel is spinning your way, with lots of cash and an assortment of fabulous and exciting prizes! And now, here are your host and hostess, Greg Palmer and Vanna White!(Vanna and I walk out together to cheers and applause) Greg: Thank you, Jim. (to Vanna) And you go over here, I'll go over here, just like we rehearsed. (the two of us separate as I go to my spot) Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Wheel of Fortune. Yes, that is Vanna White. Katie had some unforeseen business she had to attend to, so Vanna has so graciously offered to sit in for the rest of the week. Now, she's not the only thing that's new. We have three new players. And our first is Matt Ringgenberg from Council Bluffs, Iowa. You are a supermarket clerk who also participates in the Special Olympics. Welcome aboard. Please tell us more about yourself.

I've been in the supermarket business for almost ten years. I'm also a fan of The Simpsons and Peanuts.

Oh yeah. "In the Garden of Eden" by I. Ron Butterfly. (audience chuckles) Hard to believe that show's still on Fox. Good luck to you.
Next we have Bryan Law. Would you tell us more about yourself?

All right. Good to have you here. And finally, Kevin Kolsen. An accountant from Long Island, New York, it says here. That's WNBC territory. Please tell us more about yourself.

Post by koopakid17 on May 15, 2016 21:15:24 GMT -5
Yes, that is WNBC. Hi, New York! *waves*
Anyway, when I'm not working as an accountant, I like to read and go to the gym.

Post by palmer7 on May 15, 2016 22:20:37 GMT -5
Ah, the gym. Do you end up eating a meal afterwards that negates your efforts?
|

Post by koopakid17 on May 16, 2016 18:33:32 GMT -5
It depends on the kinds of meals I ate. Sometimes I'm good about it, other times I'm not.

Well, let me tell you, it's not really about losing calories. It's about getting your heart moving and being active. I better stop now before Bob Harper comes up on stage and gives us a lecture. (scattered laughter) Good luck to you. I'll just spin the Wheel here to get it warmed up. (I spin the wheel) Top dollar amount in round #1 is $1,500. We're playing for cash, and here's the first puzzle. (category cue)

Clue is the category, and the person who solves this puzzle will have a chance at an extra $500 if they can solve the clue. We drew numbers to see who'd get in the Red position, and Matt, it'll be you. Good luck. (a number from 1-24, please)
