"WHEEL...OF...FORTUNE !!!"
"From the Sony Studios, it's "Celebrities & Moms" Week on "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL OF FORTUNE !!! And here are the stars of our show, Pat Sajak & Vanna White !"
Today's team:
Daytime Emmy Nominee for (then) "General Hospital" (now on "The Young & The Restless"): Steve Burton & his mom, Tory Riihimaki.
TV & Movie Actress & Film Producer: Bonnie Hunt & her mom, Alice.
LA Lakers' Star: Nick Van Exel & his mom, Joyce.
ROUND ONE: PHRASE
- - - - - - -
- - - - -
Team 1, Steve Burton & mom Tory kick things off with a bad spin: BANKRUPT
Team 2 of Bonnie Hunt & mom Alice are up next with $250 and an N, which there are two of and $500....
- - - - - N -
- - - N -
Bonnie jokes with her mom and asks "Do you want to solve it, mom ?" and Pat goes "Don't frighten Mom !".
Bonnie spins $900 and an S, and there are two of those...
- - S - - N -
S - - N -
$2300 as they spin again with $600 and a D, there's one...
- - S - - N D
S - - N -
Bonnie & Alice consult with each other first before buying an A, which only one appears on the board...
- - S - A N D
S - - N -
They spin again with $900 but Alice messes up by calling an I, then Bonnie tries calling a T and Pat reminds them that if they spin the wheel and call a vowel, they lose their turn as Bonnie goes "Oh, it's my fault, I'm sorry" then she says to Pat "It was actually my mother's fault, is they what you were gonna say ?" and the audience burts with laughter.
Team 3, Nick Van Exel & mom Joyce take their first spin which is a Free Spin, they call an M, there aren't any so the Free Spin stays on the wheel as control goes back over to Steve Burton & Tory and they spin $250 and a T, there are none.
With $2650 in front of them, Bonnie & Alice decide not to spin anymore (and mess things up again, LOL) and Alice solves
R I S E A N D
S H I N E
Pat congratulates the ladies on the $2650 win for charity and then chats with Steve Burton & his mom, Tory Riihimaki and they are playing for two charities which are
The Surf Rider Foundation & the Coliseum Ministries.
ROUND TWO: SLOGAN
- - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - -
- - - - - - -
Team 2 of Bonnie & Alice kick the round off with $900 and an R, there's one but Bonnie already spins the wheel again before Vanna could even put the R on the board.
She then catches herself and stops the wheel from spinning any more as Pat goes "No one's ever stop the wheel before" then they playfully bicker back and forth. Bonnie then asks "Should I lose my turn, Pat ? I don't want to cheat, it is for charity" then Pat goes "Spin the Damn Wheel" as the audience falls out with laughter !
They land on $900 again and an S, there's one of them and $1800
R - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - -
S - - - - - -
They go again with $600 and Alice once again screws up by calling an I and they lose their turn.
Nick & Joyce are up next with $600 and a C, two of which appear in the puzzle...
R - - C - - - -
- - - - - - C -
S - - - - - -
$600 again and D, there's one
R - - C - - - -

$1800 so far and they buy an A, twice the A's...
R - A C - - - -
A - D - - - C -
S - - - - - -
$1550 and they spin up $250 (just missed the $2500) and call a G, none of which appear in the puzzle.
Steve Burton & mom Tory step up to the plate with $600 and an M, there's one to show for....
R - A C - - - -
A - D - - - C -
S - M - - - -
They spins again with $550 and an N, we have two of them to show...

S - M - - N -
At $1700, they don't spin anymore and Tory solves
R E A C H O U T
A N D T O U C H
S O M E O N E
And an opportunity for $2,000 more for whose slogan that is and Tory nails it with
AT&T
and their total jumps up to $3700.
Pat then turns his attention to Bonnie Hunt & mom Alice and they too are playing for two charities: Ann Palmer Goldenfeller fund & Rheumatoid Arthritis Foundation.
(Going to commercial, a clip of Bonnie Hunt with Tom Cruise in the 1997 film "Jerry Maguire" is shown)
