Ever since March, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune stopped filming new episodes because of the coronavirus pandemic. Now, Deadline is reporting that both shows are getting back to work.
Alex Trebek is starting this week, while Pat Sajak and Vanna White are hoping to start next week. The shows will feel the same but look a little different. There will be a much bigger diastance between the contestants from each other and also the hosts. There goes cheating off your neighbor during Final Jeopardy.
The crews of both shows will be given PPE and be tested frequently. Only essential crew members will be allowed on the set. The contestants will also be tested before they go on the show.
Everyone wants to make sure that everyone is safe from COVID-19 as best as they can.
I think this will be really good for Trebek, who is fighting cancer. Working on the show will be great medicine for him. He needs the medicine because we need him.
Pat Sajak is nominated for Outstanding Game Show Host, and he will do anything to win his third Daytime Emmy Award in that category.
Don’t believe me? Here is what the Wheel of Fortune host wrote on Twitter, “To Daytime Emmy voters: The last time I won was 1998. I’ve been nominated again this year, but who knows how many years I have left? So I’ve made a decision: I’m willing to pay handsomely for your vote. Please contact me through my representative. You won’t be sorry. #1More4Pat.”
Considering he is 73 years old, he might be right. However, the odds are stacked against him because he is nominated along with Alex Trebek, Wayne Brady, Alex Trebek, Steve Harvey, Alex Trebek, Alfonso Ribeiro, and Alex Trebek. I will take, who actually thinks he has a chance of winning against Alex Trebek? Ah, that is why Sajak wants to buy the award, and I lost on Jeopardy.
To see if his evil plan worked, tune into CBS on June 26th to watch the awards show.
We are used to seeing Andy Richter be PG-13 on Conan. However, on Wheel of Fortune, he is all NC-17. No matter what the clue is on the game show, he finds a way to see the word f*ck. You know what, he is not alone. I see it too.
Personally, I wish that the show was not all about being family-friendly, and had some clues like “chasing tail.” If Family Feud can do it, then why can Pat Sajak and Vanna White. I am sure they would enjoy the answers being a little bit naughtier. It would add some spice into their lives, and ours too. Don’t we all need it?
Marie went into the bonus round of Wheel of Fortune, thinking she had a chance of winning the grand prize. Therefore, she picked the category What Are You Doing? Even though she picked out the popular letters G, M, F, and A to go with the free letters R,S, T, L, N, and E, only the A, N, and G were on the board.
What could the phrase be? She thought it was “chasing tail,” but it was not. It was something you do after you catch some, and that is “kicking back.”
If it was her guess, then imagine how much higher their ratings would be! I would watch to see what the contestants have to guess next. Wouldn’t you?
Back in November, Pat Sajak was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. While he was recovering, Vanna White went from letter turner to host on Wheel of Fortune.
Now, that Sajak is back after a month off, he wanted to know if she wants to host more often. Without hesitation, she told him, “No!” Much to his relief.
That is a shame because she did a great job. However, I can understand why she doesn’t want to do it. Not everyone wants to be the boss and deal with all of that pressure.
