'Celebrity Wheel' coming to primetime on ABC

^ Says the one who has access to my Xfinity Cloud DVR. 🤐 🥷

Or more technically, an import from the UK via GSN who aired it in the past?

social media's grown to be grumpy at everything, from what i've seen *edited for quote formatting*

Thanks for the heads up about Vanna on Kelly & Ryan tomorrow, got my DVR set. Maybe Wheel will get some respect this week, hard to compete with Alex Trebek’s last week on Jeopardy.

Honestly, I’m most impressed about a song lyric from the 21st century! Maybe this will eventually trickle over to syndie puzzles...

Now that it's aired, here's how gameplay works:


- Each game begins with two Toss-Ups - $1,000 and $2,000, like the regular show. On the second half, the second is played immediately after the first.

- Each game is played with a flat three rounds (not four). Top values are $2500, $3500, and $5000.

- There is no Free Play, Mystery, Express, etc. The only "extra" is the MDW, and all four get added in R2 of each game.

- Solve bonuses are $5,000, $10,000, and $20,000.

- The Triple Toss-Up is played before Round 3 and the puzzles are $5,000 each.

- Only the second half had a Final Spin on episode 1, suggesting that it can only happen during that half. The first half ended after Round 3 was played in full.

- A player can only have one MDW at a time. If they land on another one while carrying one, it is treated as a $1000 wedge.

- Any MDW's lost in R2 (and likely any that are picked up at all) are replenished for R3.

- The Bonus Wheel contains the following amounts: $25K, $50K, $75K, $100K. There are four $100K envelopes, but it wasn't said how many of each the other amounts have. If the MDW makes it, one of the $100K's is replaced with the million.

- There is no confetti if the $100K is won.

- 80's Song Lyrics is a category.

Episode 4 (1/28): Constance Zimmer/Maria Menounos/Yvette Nicole Brown

Leslie Jones, of all people, sure didn't seem to care about that.

It seemed to me that the circle with the winner’s picture in the bottom right during the bonus round was bigger than on “regular” Wheel. I guess the celebrities need bigger pictures than us common folks.
