In the midst of all the buzz about Wheel lately, a New Jersey reporter recounts his interesting experience and tough choice between interviewing or getting on the show.

A bit of research shows that Bill appeared on the June 9, 1995 episode (where a Bonus Round of "MEN_" went unsolved).

Also, I have the 6/12 episode, and there's no Bill on that episode at all.

It still doesn't match, because on the June 12 episode, the champion is a guy named Dave, whom Pat said won $25,000 the previous Friday.

Finally!
