Airdate: November 4, 1997

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Welcome to Celebrity Week!

Here are today's stars:
From L.A. Law (and a former date of Vanna in one episode), also from Dharma & Greg, Alan Rachins! (playing for PRASAD Project)
Atlanta Olympian and U.S. gymnastics team gold medalist, Olympic champion Kerri Strug! (playing for Children's Miracle Network)
And...well, he needs no introduction. Here's Richard Simmons! (playing for the Multiple Sclerosis Society and Project Angel Food)

Pat almost trips while walking to his spot! If only he had a fitness expert.

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000- ah, we'll just let Richard Simmons start the game.

Round 1

FAMILY

RICHARD	Kerri	Alan
$550: "Vanna! an H?" Free Spin: S $800: R $1,000: D $250: J (DUD!) (Pat takes the Free Spin from Richard's forehead. I hope that didn't hurt!) -$250: O $300: "I'll buy an L!" : B (DUD!) $800 (see above)	$250: T (DUD!)	$350: C $300: N (DUD!)
$2,700		$350
$250: B (Repeat)	$450: F (DUD!)	$250: M $250: W (DUD!)
$2,700		$600
Solve: Correct!
$2,700

Aside from Richard being Richard...yes, he really did get buzzed for the B before spinning, then he took his spin before it was ruled a lost turn.

FAMILY

Richard solves KIRK & MICHAEL DOUGLAS. He was screaming before, and he's really screaming now! "I could just burst!" Apparently, he also has to change his vest.

Richard	Kerri	Alan
$2,700

Our next guest on Masterpiece Theatre, the $2,500 wedge! Can it handle the excitement...or Richard's new vest?

Round 2

PHRASE

Richard	KERRI	Alan
	$900: S (DUD!)	$700: T (x4) $400: R (x2) $500: M (DUD!)
		$3,600
Lose A Turn!	$400: D $350: V (DUD!)	$550: C (DUD!)
	$400	$3,600
$900: N (x2) $400: G (x2) -$250: O (x5) Solve: Correct!
$2,350

PHRASE

Richard solves GETTING YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR. Now...can he get his foot off the "beautiful Naugahyde"?

Richard	Kerri	Alan
$5,050

Richard buts the Jackpot fireworks to shame. If we put in some extra money from the $3,500 space, how would he feel?

The energy is contagious! "A bacterial thing!"

Round 3

THING

Richard	Kerri	ALAN
		$250: T $900: S (DUD!)
		$250
$900: M (DUD!)	BANKRUPT! ($0)	$900: R
		$1,150

THING

DING DING! DING DING!

Doesn't Richard wish we had more time? Well, Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants will be worth... $900 a piece.

Alan: L (DUD!)
Richard: A (x2)

THING

Richard solves ABRACADABRA. (Yeah, no. That's not it.) He then guesses ABALONE.

Kerri: N (DUD!)
Alan: W (DUD!)
Richard: E (DUD!)
Kerri: O (x2) (to Alan: You're next.)
Alan: B ($2,050) (He then tries to call a U.)
Richard: U

THING

Richard then says AURORA BOREALIS, followed by AUTONOMOSEROTITY or something like that. I don't know!

Kerri: G ($900)

THING

Kerri finally solves AUTOBIOGRAPHY.

Richard	Kerri	Alan
$5,050	$900

Kerri and Alan each receive the $10,000 minimum for their charities.

BONUS ROUND:

Oh, yeah! Richard's in the Bonus Round! He's getting at least $10,000 for his charity! Maybe more! Let's do one more puzzle!

Bonus Puzzle

PHRASE

RSTLNE gives him:

PHRASE

And HWDO gives him...

PHRASE

Richard guesses something with THE PIE and THE TIE. He does not solve BREAK THE ICE, so he receives the $10,000 mininum for his charity. After that, Richard lifts Pat up and gives him a hug!

Pat and Vanna congratulate and thank the celebrities for participating.
