Look at this studio filled with glamorous prizes! Fabulous merchandise including:
A TV room!
A pair of red and white enamel cuff links!
A new pickup truck!
Over $53,000 just waiting to be won on...
Wheel of Fortune!
Today's contestants:
Linda Fielding: Legal secretary, from Larkspur, CA
Mary Ann Holly (returning with a 2-day total of $15,595)
Larry Bowker: Maintenance engineer (also recently got one of his two cats "fixed", and now the cat's mad about it)
The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $750. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you will lose all your cash, but "once you buy a cat", it's yours to keep. Here's our first puzzle!
Larry solves RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN.
Larry's certainly happy about that round, but he might do even better if he can hit the $1,000 space!
Perfection! Mary Ann solves IT AIN'T NECESSARILY SO.
Can someone hit that $2,000 space? Let's make it so!
Mary Ann solves START THE BALL ROLLING.
Let's keep it rolling! We have time for another round!
DING DING! DING DING!
It could've happened earlier. Pat will give the Wheel a Final Spin, and consonants are worth... $800 a piece.
Mary Ann: D ($800)
Mary Ann solves DO ME A FAVOR.

Pat mentions that contestants can sometimes get stuck on some letter combinations. Other than that, Pat likes Vanna's "alligator" shirt, whatever that is.
