Airdate: January 7, 1998
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Let's Wheel Into 1998!
Wheeling into the studio:
Linda Brown: Former musician, now a waitress, from Gans, OK
Stan McAllister: Has his own specialty pipeline business, from Pittsburg, CA
Jennie Navarro: Office assistant with Riverside County, and January-April tax preparer, from Highland, CA
Pat accidentally says to Stan "Nice to have you back" before realizing his own mistake.
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000, which itself is a familiar sight. So is the puzzleboard!

Pair of authentic Triumph Thunderbird sport motorcycles (over $18,000)
1998 Acura SLX Sport luxury car (over $36,000)
