Welcome to the New Year! Let's get the ball rolling w/ our second extra episodes week of the season ("America's Game").
In our animated intro of the week, Pat gets buzzed each time he tries to light up a letter on the puzzleboard (
) while Vanna successfully uncovers a letter of the show's title, and the whole board reveals itself!
Jim Thornton is back again for post-production work. As for the set, we're on "Happy Holidays", and the car at stake is the Volkswagen Tiguan.
