Airdate: January 1, 1999
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to the New Year!
Last three of the week, first three of the year:
Karen Murray: Happy entertainer, from Los Angeles, CA
Christine Bretzlaff: Teacher for gifted children, former competitive gymnast, from Decatur, GA
Phillip Culmone: In the computer sales business, from Rochester Hills, MI
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. The end of the week is a good excuse to start this year strong!
Perfection! Karen solves METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE. Maybe we can finish it off with the $3,000 Puzzler bonus...
Not this time. The answer was BARITONE. Well, an otherwise perfect round is a good start to the year!
Double perfection! Christine solves PENNIES NICKELS DIMES & QUARTERS for maybe around 100,000 coins.
JACKPOT! Phillip solves HUMPTY DUMPTY for the $8,850 cash prize!
Yes, everyone has something, but now is also an opportunity for Karen to catch up! She might try for the $5,000 space!
Christine solves THE YEAR IN REVIEW.
DING DING! DING DING!
It looks like we're running out of time, so Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin. Consonants are worth... $600 a piece.
Christine: Y (DUD!)
Phillip: P ($600)
Phillip solves PARKING LOT.
BONUS ROUND:
RSTLNE gives her:
YDMA starts us with...
...well, let's just say the first day had its good and bad.

Round 2 was some of the big money taken care of, and now the $3,500 and Jackpot spaces wait for some action! Speaking of action, Phillip finally gets to play!

YDMA starts us with...
...well, let's just say the first day had its good and bad.
Her only guess is WINERY. She does not solve ICEBERG...
...and the $25,000 is lost to the sea. Christine still leaves with an all-cash total of $13,700.
Pat and Vanna's first post-game chat of the year, and they're amazed that it's already 1999. Pat thinks that Wheel has been renewed through to 2115 and a station on Pluto signed to broadcast the show.
