From Sony Pictures Studio, we bring you a Halloween special of America's Game! Wheel of Fortune!

I could try to explain to this trio how a Toss-Up works...

PHRASE

Shakespeare drags it out and describes before solving WE NEVER CLOSE.

Shakespeare	genie	Osment
$1,000

Here's who (or what) we found on the street:
William Shakespeare (playing for the Amanda Foundation)
A female genie (playing for the Boys and Girls Club)
Osment, a gnome (playing for the USO)

Osment presents Pat with two red boots, but they are both for left feet.

They didn't have Wheel back in the day. I fear how Shakespeare will handle this round:

Round 1

SHAKESPEARE	genie	Osment
$500: P (DUD!)	$300: T $300: S (DUD!)	$2,500: G $800: S (Repeat)

$2,950	$850	$2,800
$500: J (Wha?)	$300: Y Only vowels left! Solve: Correct!
$2,950	$1,150

Quoth Pat: J...where exactly would that J go?

The genie solves A HAUNTING MELODY.

Next, they fight for a possible Jackpot.

QUOTATION

Shakespeare solves AND THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN THE NIGHT rather loudly, but not for a loud total, just the house minimum.

Shakespeare	genie	Osment
$1,500	$1,150

There's a shiny one-third $10,000 space on the Wheel, but where will Osment look?

Round 3

CLASSIC TV

Shakespeare	genie	OSMENT
		BANKRUPT/$10K! ($0)

$500: D (DUD!)	$300: S (x2) BANKRUPT! ($600)	$800: T (x3) $600: N (x2) BANKRUPT/$10K! ($3,600)

$300: F -$250: I (x2) $300: C (x2) -$250: U (x2) Solve: Wrong!
$400

Apparently Osment doesn't know what BANKRUPT means.

The genie is correct with COUSIN ITT & UNCLE FESTER, but for the house minimum again.

Shakespeare	genie	Osment
$1,500	$1,650

(Strangely, no Toss-Up is played after Round 3.)

The sun rises soon, so Pat must give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth $600 + $1,000 for $1,600 a piece. Shakespeare begins:

BEFORE & AFTER

The genie solves FUDGE BROWNIE POINTS. That's more like it for a round total.

Shakespeare	genie	Osment
$1,500	$11,250

Fluent and not-so-fluent each receive the $10,000 minimum for their charities.

BONUS ROUND:

The genie will play for $25,000, but must solve this bonus puzzle...
