Celebrity Wheel of Fortune: Season 3 (2022-2023)
May 10, 2023
Episode #311
Jim: "And now– wait, something's different. Here's one of the stars of America's Game: Pat Sajak!"
After Pat mentions the hosts of Wheel and Jeopardy have never played against each other, he introduces the following TV hosts…
And taking Vanna's place at the puzzleboard is none other than Maggie Sajak.
She and her dad get a bit emotional about it before she admits she has "some iconic shoes to fill." Then, Pat admits standing next to Vanna at the podium feels "weird."

Let's say hello to our hosts…
Pat finds it weird that he and Vanna act like they've never met and he's never seen her left side. But he claims she and Maggie "can't stand each other." Mayim tells Pat, "Funny meeting you here." Later, Pat compares hosting Wheel to getting his GED.
And let's get to know their charities.

Of course, Ken knows a thing or two about RETURNING CHAMPIONS.
A little more about our hosts…
Ken had an "unnerving" transition from broadcasting to hosting Jeopardy! partly because he missed Alex Trebek. But within a couple of months, he was in the groove.
Vanna celebrated her hosting anniversary on December 13, and her only "mini-fight" with Pat was when she convinced him to put ketchup on a hot dog.
Mayim likes ketchup on hot dogs (sorry, Pat) and hosts a podcast called Mayim Bialik's Breakdown about mental health with her partner, Jonathan Cohen.
Pat says he's surrounded by two people he adores, Vanna and Maggie. But he tells Vanna their fight about ketchup and hot dogs wasn't a fight, she was "just wrong."

Episode #311
Jim: "And now– wait, something's different. Here's one of the stars of America's Game: Pat Sajak!"
After Pat mentions the hosts of Wheel and Jeopardy have never played against each other, he introduces the following TV hosts…
- 74-day Jeopardy! superchamp, Ken Jennings!
- Actress and neuroscientist, Mayim Bialik!
- "Oh, what the heck, it's Vanna White!"
And taking Vanna's place at the puzzleboard is none other than Maggie Sajak.
She and her dad get a bit emotional about it before she admits she has "some iconic shoes to fill." Then, Pat admits standing next to Vanna at the podium feels "weird."

Vanna | Mayim | Ken |

Let's say hello to our hosts…
- Ken admits people often ask him trivia questions on the fly, even on a mountain lake outing with his kids. Being on Wheel and Jeopardy! was his childhood dream.
- Vanna finds it strange that someone replaced her at the puzzleboard, but appreciates Maggie for doing so. She runs a yarn line called Vanna's Choice (courtesy of Lion Brand Yarn Company), but for some reason, she makes her own balls of yarn (rather than the company giving her some).
- Mayim took a 12-year break from acting to study neuroscience and Hebrew and Jewish studies and raise two kids to toddlerhood. While she returned to acting on shows like The Big Bang Theory and Call Me Kat, Jeopardy! reminds her of her schooling.
Pat finds it weird that he and Vanna act like they've never met and he's never seen her left side. But he claims she and Maggie "can't stand each other." Mayim tells Pat, "Funny meeting you here." Later, Pat compares hosting Wheel to getting his GED.
And let's get to know their charities.
- The Equal Justice Initiative, which is based in Montgomery, Alabama, addresses racial inequality in criminal justice, including mass incarceration, wrongful convictions, and unjust fees and fines.
- St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis treats cancer patients without billing them and researches cures. Vanna donates half of her yarn line's proceeds to this charity.
- The Mental Wealth Alliance reframes mental health as mental wealth by providing state-of-the-art mental health services to underserved Black communities in the U.S. Mayim heard about this organization from Charlamagne Tha God.

Some quips from Vanna…
- Pat admired her strategic S pick, thanks to the category. He knows she's "seen this show."
- After she lit up the P, both of them noticed Maggie was putting in work walking across the puzzleboard.
- Vanna was having a hard time figuring out the first word. After her last spin, she rues, "Oh my gosh, I should know this, should I?"
