You might not know Jim Thornton’s name, but you know his voice. That is because he has been the announcer on Wheel of Fortune since 2011.
That is in the past tense because TMZ is reporting that he has been suspended from the game show during an investigation of an alleged incident that involved him when he was on a plane back in May. A passenger is said to have complained about him, and he was greeted by law enforcement at the gate. No other details were shared about the reported incident.
During his suspension, Sony Pictures Television is looking for a temporary replacement. I think they should bring back Pat Sajak to do the job.
