Tonight on "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune..."
Nia Vardalos...
For me, it's always "'Big, Fat Greek' girl!"
...Jodie Sweetin...
[ Gasps, yells ] I would want your arrow, not mine!

And now here are the stars of America's game,
Pat Sajak and Vanna White.
Hello, there. Hello.
Thank you, Jim. Thank you very much.
And welcome to "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune" prime time.
That's right, Pat. You know we love giving away money.
Ooh, we do.
And tonight, these stars are ready for two chances
at winning $1 million for their charities.
Why are we wasting time? Let's go!
Okay.
Hey, good to see you all.
Nia, Jodie, Michael, we're glad you're here.
We're going to start with giving away some money right away,
so grab those "Toss Up" devices.
$1,000 at stake. We don't waste time around here.
‐Yeah, I know. ‐Wow.
The category is "Movie Title."
Go ahead, Vanna. Let's get started.
♪♪
[ Bell chimes ] Jodie.
"Dumb and Dumber."
That is it, yes.
Nice. Yeah, Jodie!
Nice. First blood.
Solved beautifully by Jodie Sweetin.
You can all put those devices down and relax a little bit.
I want to take it home.
No, no. Put it down. Alright.
Jodie, it's great to have you here.
So happy to be here. So for years, "Full House," right?
Mm‐hmm. "Full House,"
"Fuller House," all of the houses, yes.
You'll have "Fullest House" next,
would be, I assume ‐‐ Right, yes.
That's, like, the older edition.
You know, when you do sort of a reboot of the show,
you really don't know
how the fans are going to take to it.
I mean, there must have been some trepidation going in.
You're grown up and all that stuff.
I mean, absolutely, but we have incredibly loyal,
wonderful fans that have stuck with us for over 30 years.
So they loved "Fuller House"
and we got to do five seasons of it.
It was really fun.
Let's see, what's the podcast you do?
The podcast is "Never Thought I'd Say This."
It is me, along with my best friend,
who is actually also a licensed therapist,
although not mine.
But we talk all things parenting, from the ridiculous
to the serious and everything in between.
And "Will You Be My Quarantine?" This is a film, right?
Yes, it was a film that we actually shot
while we were, you know, in the midst of things,
and it's a fun rom‐com that's coming out next year.
Let's see, watched it with Mom.
That was your "Wheel of Fortune" partner?
I did. I'm so excited to be here.
I really am.
I've grown up watching "Wheel of Fortune,"
so, like, all of the little noises and stuff
I'm just like, "Yay!" Well, we're really glad you're here
and have yourself a good time
and win a lot of money for your charity, which is...
Which is Girls Inc.,
which helps young women all over the U. S. and Canada
to become strong, brave, and confident leaders
of the future.
Well, you seem all of those things.
Nice to have you here, Jodie. Thank you.
John Michael Higgins! That's me.
One of the busiest men in television... Thank you.
...movies, commercials.
You have ‐‐ your face is everywhere.
I opened my refrigerator and I found you in there recently.
My face is right down here, too, yeah.
You are everywhere.
But let's talk specifically about "America Says,"
which is a game show on GSN.
You are now in the game show fraternity.
We are. Yeah.
And, Pat, I have been thinking of you so much
since I started the show because now suddenly ‐‐
I don't know, I wasn't a game show pro.
I was an actor, right?
So now I'm a game show host,
and I was like, "How do those guys do that?"
So I would watch you or watch whoever or think about you.
It's like, "What would Pat Sajak do?
I think he'd be cool about it." You know?
And so I pretend ‐‐ I fake it till I make it.
Don't you find it's hard to predict ‐‐
like, I don't know how you guys are going to do.
I'm sure you'll all do great, but you never know
when contestants come on, right?
Oh, they're ‐‐ You know, what keeps me going ‐‐
I don't know about you, but I am always surprised
by the contestants. Oh, absolutely.
They are just full of surprises.
And talking about reboots, "Saved by the Bell."
Yes, the reboot of "Saved by the Bell,"
and I'm now the ‐‐ I'm now the principal,
and I describe myself
as a "dunk tank clown" every episode.
So, you know,
I get things dumped on me and I get thrown out windows.
You do so many things,
and you've done a ton of commercials,
so you have the face that everybody knows.
And yet you're not known
for one particular project, necessarily.
So you must get a lot of that...
"What? Who are you?" Oh, all day.
All day long. People go like this...
[ Laughter ]
They just go like that at me.
And you have to give a list of your credits
until you come to one they know.
Until I get one right.
I'm listing my whole résumé.
It's all the way down my arm, and people are like,
"No, never saw it." "No, not that one. No."
Talk about your charity.
My charity is the Actors Equity Foundation.
I started as a stage actor, and I ‐‐
it was some tough times this year for stage actors
because there's no audience to perform for.
That'll cut down on a performance
in a hurry, yeah. Right?
And so that ‐‐ my char‐‐ the foundation helps actors
who are not working to do ‐‐
to have their basics and to continue their life
and hopefully stay in the business
and keep entertaining. Yeah, it's terrific.
Good luck with all that. Good to have you here, Michael.
Thank you. Thanks, Pat.
Nia Vardalos is here! Hello!
Hi! We're so excited!
Actress, screenwriter, director,
and you've done so many wonderful things.
I mean, you've written a book, "Instant Mom,"
about ‐‐ what's that about, adoption?
I got to adopt my daughter
when she was almost 3 years old.
I had 14 hours' notice,
so I wrote a book about it called "Instant Mom,"
and it became a New York Times bestseller,
and I donate all the money to get kids adopted.
And then ‐‐ And you've done a play,
which was well‐received.
The New York critics loved it and all that stuff.
And yet you're always going to be
"My Big, Fat Greek Wedding."
That makes me happy.
What an amazing story that was.
It was never intended to be a big hit.
I mean, no one expected... No, no, no.
We were just going to be happy
if you saw it, you know?
Like, it was like, "Are you kidding me?"
And I know that I am ‐‐
I mean, I walk into a gas station
and while ‐‐ even ‐‐ you know, you say,
"I know you from that."
For me, it's always "'Big, Fat Greek' girl!"
And I'm like, "Okay."
[ Laughter ]
"Okay!"
There are some performers, when they get associated
with a role so much, they almost resent it,
like, "Hey, I moved on from that."
And then there are those who embrace it.
I'm guessing you're the embracer.
Oh, I have my arms wrapped around it.
I just love it,
and I love, oh, the audience that comes with us
through the movies.
And, yeah, it's great.
I love that everyone sees their family in my family,
and that's amazing.
I'm going to get weepy, but it really has helped me,
especially through this last year, just to keep writing.
And your charity is...?
My charity is Hope 4 Kids,
and the amazing thing about America is
we have 500,000 kids living in American foster care,
but we have 380,000 kids who are legally emancipated.
So if you're interested in adoption,
it's free via American Foster Care.
And all you have to do is find a foster family agency
like Hope 4 Kids,
and they will match you with a child
and you can change someone's life, and yours, too.
Alright, let's do another "Toss Up."
Michael: Alright! This one is worth $2,000.
It will also determine who will spin first
in the first round.
It's a phrase this time.
And Vanna will gesture, it will appear.
And we'll get going here.

Jodie.
Tough act to follow.
Oh, she's hot stuff here.
I'm so proud of you. Jodie!
See?
Pat: She's two for two!
[ Laughter ]
So $2,000. That means you're up to $3,000.
It also means you're going to start the first round,
and the category is "Show Biz," okay?
Take a look at the puzzle. Jodie: I don't know anything about that.
Well, I know there's no business like it,
and whoever wins this round
is going to get an extra $5,000 added to their total.
So keep that in mind as you play.
Jodie, go ahead. Alright.
Let's see...
[ Applause ]
Nice spin!
Could I get an M, please?
Do we have an M up there? That's what you asked for,
and there is one, yes.
A T, please.
And there is one T. Well, slowly but surely,
we're adding up here ‐‐ $1,200.
Vowel or spin?
I would like to buy a vowel.
Yeah. I, please.
Five I's in that puzzle. That'll help.
[ Applause ]
I'm going to spin the wheel.
Alright.
I see trouble coming here, Jodie. Oh, no, no, no!
I'm sorry. You know, that stuff's happened,
and there's nothing you can do about it.
Go ahead, Michael. Alright.
I think I may give you the same speech here.
Michael, don't look down.
Oh, for heaven's sakes.
Nia, go ahead.
I'm so glad I got here early to rig the board.

Aha!
Okay. The secret's out.
$950, I think ‐‐ Yeah.
What letter?
R.
Yeah.
Two of them.

Okay, you can buy a vowel or you can spin the wheel.
I'm going to buy a vowel.
Alright.
And I'd like to buy an E.
There is an E. Right there.

You could also solve,

Okay, uh, I'm going ‐‐

$2,400. Take a look.
It's alright if you don't ‐‐

Oh.
She's either acting or she's really pleased.
I'm so not competitive,

You have the early lead.
Jodie has $3,000.

Thumbs‐up from Nia. Michael, pick up that $1 million.
Pick up the wedge. Oh, I get it?

You're fine. Now here's the deal.

And if you do that, you have control of it.
If you could hang out for the rest of this game...
Yes. ...all the way to pre‐bonus time

you would take that over to the bonus round
and maybe win a million bucks.
So a lot of hoops to jump through,
but you've taken the first step,

Okay, here we go.
Uh, can I have an R, possibly?
Probably, and almost certainly.
Almost... Wouldn't you think?
That's it?
Yeah. Alright.
Let's try it again.
And it's $600.
Uh, I'll have an N.
You're doing just fine.
3 N's. I hope you're happy now.
Yeah, I'm very happy. Good.
$2,400 you have, Michael.
I'd be happier to buy a vowel.
Perhaps, maybe an E?
That's a good vowel to buy ‐‐ two of them.
And it's $500.
V.
Yes, sir, one V.
How about a Y?
Uh‐huh. Two Y's.
Alright, you can buy a vowel,

"Rhyme Time" is the category.
Something's going to rhyme within this puzzle.
And, Michael, you get to spin first.
Alrighty, here we go.
This one's also for you, Vanna.
I'm right here for you.
I'm looking at a T, maybe?
You are looking at three of them.
Or soon will be.
D.
Alright, there is one D, yeah.
I'd like to buy an I.
Mm‐hmm, two I's.
Michael, you're doing fine again.
You have $2,200. There are the I's.
Another vowel or a spin?
I'll take a vowel, another one. I'll take an O.
Yeah, one O.
N.
Sure, there's that one,
which I think you suspected you'd find.
Uh, let's go for a vowel ‐‐ the A.
Yeah, two A's.
Now, if you land on the million again,
you're not going to get another million.
That'll be worth $1,000.
R.
Yeah. One R. Another $1,000.
You have $3,400.
Let's buy a vowel ‐‐ an E.
Yeah, there you go. Two E's.
Now, all the vowels are gone,
so you can forget about any help from those.
And again, that's worth a thousand bucks.
It's a K.
Yeah, two K's.
"Rhyme Time," remember.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
No!

Looks like you're going to spin. I'm going to spin.
Because I don't know it.
That's alright. Okay.
Just let the money add up.
Okay.
Um, S.
Yes. Two S's.
Not where I thought they were going to be again. Okay.
Oh, my gosh.
How about an M?
Yes, one M.
It's so hard.
No!
It's early to panic. You're fine.
Okay, um, F, please.
Yes, three F's. That should help the situation.
Uh‐huh.
Ooh, dear. Another good spin.
Wow. Okay.
A...D.
One D. Yeah.

Okay. Okay. It's okay.

So it's...
$16,350.
Uh‐huh. I'm going to solve the puzzle.
That would be a welcome relief for all.
[ Laughter ]
Yeah, no kidding. Everybody at home...
Go ahead.
You just sit on your couches because I'm not sure about it.
I think it's Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
That's it. [ Laughs ]
Oh, my God.
How ‐‐
How would I ‐‐ We don't do that in Manitoba.
We don't snatch anything.
We're just like, "No, you take it."
[ Laughter ]
Okay, what did we end up with there?
$16,350,
and we're going to add $5,000 to that.
Thank you. So, $21,350.
She's up over $23,000.
It's going very well here, isn't it, Vanna?
Yes, it is.
And you don't go away because you at home could win $10,000.
The second "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune"
$10,000 Giveaway Puzzle is coming up
right after this.
Back to you, Pat.
Alright, we got ‐‐ the $1 Million Wedge
is back on the wheel.
There are four of them.
If anyone lands on it,
we'll get into greater detail on that.
Also, we're adding $10,000
to the puzzle for anyone who wins it.
And "Before and After" is the category.
That's where we kind of mash two things together.
Golf club, club sandwich becomes golf club sandwich.
You got it? Michael: Got it.
Yeah, Jodie, you're going to start this one. Come on.
Alright.
Jodie Sweetin, spinning for Girls Inc....
Okay. Oh, uh, uh...
T.
Three T's. Pick up that million dollars!
[ All cheering ]
And you'll show America, then you'll put it down there.
Now remember,
you have to end up winning this round
without losing that to a Bankrupt,
then you'll have control of it.
You get to the end of this half‐hour
and get to the bonus round with the most money,
you will have that $1 Million Wedge
working for you over there, so...
I really didn't need all that pressure, Pat.
That was a lot.
Okay.
I did it for America. Spin the wheel.
Okay, here we go.
Look at my little arrow.
W.
No. There is no W at all. Michael.
I'll try an R.
Alright, there is no R,
but it's a nice letter. Nia.
Ah, alright. Let's have a letter.
N.
Yes, one N. Pick up that million dollars.
So we got two of our players with $1 Million Wedges.
There you go. And that goes right down there.
And then you can spin again.
Okay.
So hard.
Okay.
H, please.
No. No H.
Jodie. Alright.
Uh‐oh. Uh‐oh.
[ Gasps ] Aww!
Jodie, I have the unpleasant duty to tell you
that you have to pick up that $1 Million Wedge
and drop it in the recycling bin.
Just in that ‐‐ No, no, no.
It's over here, I think.
Where's ‐‐ Oh!
Little bag over there that says...
There we go. Careful, I just put my coffee in there.

Go ahead, Michael.
Alrighty. Let's try a D.
Alright. There is no D.
Nia.
Yeah. Okay.
M, please.
No. Jodie. Yeesh!
Wow, okay. Uh...
L.
Yes, two L's. [ Gasps ]
I would like to... buy a vowel.
Okay.
Uh, I.
Yes, one I.
Huh. That's interesting.
F.
Yes. One F.
Buy a vowel, spin the wheel?
What do you think? Or solve it. I will buy a vowel.
Okay. A.
Yes, there is an A there,
and there is an A there.
Oh, it's alive.
And what do we got here? $700.
C.
There are two C's.
I would like to solve. Okay.
Flat Stanley Tucci.
Yeah, that's it.
[ Laughter ]
That's great.
Yeah, very, very clever puzzle, don't you think?
Flat Stanley and Stanley Tucci,
a wonderful actor who's not flat, by the way.
And let's see, you won $2,500.
Don't forget we add $10,000 to that total for this round.
That's $12,500.
You're up to $13,500.
Congratulations on that, Jodie. Nice work.
Nia, unfortunately, the $1 Million Wedge
no longer in play for you,
but that wedge and the one that you threw in the trash,
we're going to get back out and put it on the wheel
so when we come back for our next round,
all four of them will be out there.
It's ‐‐ It's magical.
