Well, I didn't go back to S24 (but I will soon), but here's your daily dose of America's Game. After a season of absence, here's a modern Wheel staple that you might be familiar with...
EPISODE #7256: 🚌WHEEL ACROSS AMERICA🚌
AIR DATE: 10/19/20
This Week's Tape Date: September 3
New intro shown as the bus literally travels coast to coast with a neon sign displaying the country and theme week at the end. Also, the generic set is used here. Disappointing, but understandable as the show's working with as few crew members as possible to prevent the spreading of COVID.
$1,000 Tossup: Places
Q _ _ I N _
S _ A _ L / T O W _ S
Cheryl might visit some QUAINT SMALL TOWNS in the near future, and here are the week's first panelists...
Cheryl Prince: Bonsall (San Diego County), SAHM who's married to Darren for 24 yrs. w/ 3 daughters. Also a motorcycle person.
David Schwartz: Riverside. Machine operator who's married to Marisa w/ 5 kids (4 boys and a girl; ages are 14, 8, 5, 3, 2).
Shaden Sarafzadeh: L.A. Ophthalmologist who's a new aunt (has a niece who's turning 1 at the time of taping).
