The Paley Center for Media in New York City will be hosting a special event celebrating Wheel's 35 years in syndication on Wednesday, November 15, featuring Pat, Vanna, and Harry Friedman in person. There will also be a Wheel exhibit on display through December, though it seems to be little more than the Wheel Hall of Fame from their home studio. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Thursday at noon.

...but nothing from our archives that predates 1983."

...but nothing from our archives that predates 1983." I'm happy to say that you were wrong. The event began with a video retrospective on the entire show's history, including clips from the Shopper's Bazaar pilot, the first Edd Byrnes pilot, the recently-unearthed Merv Griffin runthrough tape, and a few clips from the Chuck era episodes the Paley Center has.

That's awesome! I'm sure you must've had a lot fun there.
Any new word on that one space next to Lose A Turn on the development tape's Wheel, or did they simply show what was on that Buzzr special? Just thought I'd ask.

Very brief clips of the same stuff they showed on Game Changers. Oh, and the exhibit had this gem on display.

Oh, my goodness! Are you kidding me?! No way! That's what I was looking for all these years!
Were you able buy it, or was it just for display? Please tell me you bought it!

Just for display. A ton of Wheel merchandise in that case, including the new Wheel Bingo game, a copy of the PS4 game, and the 2018 calendar.

It's all right. Listen, at least we know some copies exist. Funny when I saw it on Ebay 11 years ago, it didn't have a good view of the game itself. From what I recall, the Live Play logo was blue and at the center, and the Wheel of Fortune logo wasn't even present. Ever since, I've been having dreams of getting my hands on this game, known for its purple $10,000 space and pink $5000 space.
But, boy, Robert, I can't even begin tell you how happy I am to know you saw this. And it was all packaged?! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for taking a picture of this for me! I feel like my hopes of getting this one day have just skyrocketed!

I suspect the Paley Center might do something like this for Trebek J!'s 35th anniversary next season, even though it will be the show's 54th anniversary since its original debut.
