And now here are the stars of America's Game,
Pat Sajak and Vanna White.
Hello. Howdy, howdy.
Step up into my world. Thank you very much. Okay.
Thank you, Jim. Thank you, folks.
And welcome to "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune."
Our stars are primped and primed
and ready to win lots of money, all for charity.
They are primped and primed. I can see that.
You know, we could give away $1 million,
not once, but twice. That could happen.
So let's get started right now. Here we go.
Pat: James, Johnny, Brooke, great to see you guys.
Get ready. We're gonna start with a "Toss Up"
and give away some money right away.
Why waste time with this? Okay.
$1,000 at stake in our first "Toss Up."
The category is "Thing." Let's go.
Be sure you know it before you ring in.

Johnny? Overnight success.
That is it. Yeah! Well done, Johnny! Thanks!
Johnny Weir, nice to see you.
You have 1,000 bucks already for your charity,
and we'll talk more about that later.
Great figure skater for this country
and now television commentator, but not just skating.
You do other sports, right? Yes.
Tara Lipinski and I, we do kind of everything we're asked to.
We've shown up at the Super Bowl, the Kentucky Derby,
the National Dog Show.
But figure skating at the Olympics is our jam.
Yeah, and you guys are gonna be
at the Olympics in '22.
That's pretty exciting. Beijing. Yes.
We're so excited about it. 2006, 2010,
this gentleman, two‐time Olympian there.
Three‐time U. S. champion, right?
Yes, sir. Yeah.
Tell us who you're playing for.
I'm playing for the Special Olympics,
that celebrates inclusivity in sports,
and sports have changed my life, so I'm hopeful
that we can raise some money to change other people's lives.
You already won 1,000 bucks. Whoo!
Keep it going, Johnny. Good to have you here.
Ladies and gentlemen, actress, television personality,
and game show host Brooke Burns.
Hi, Brooke. Good to see you. Hi. How are you?
"Master Minds," that's the show, right?
That's right, "Master Minds."
I've done "The Chase" and "Dog Eat Dog," but...
I mean, you've been nominated already
for Emmys for this business.
I have to say, never in a million years
did I ever think I would share an occupation
with the great Pat Sajak, so... And get to see Vanna! Hi!
This is crazy. Hi!
Now hold up your Wheel Nail.
We'll get a nice, tight shot of that at some point. Yes, okay.
So I did a little artistic rendition
of the wheel on my nail,
just for a little bit of fun and, hopefully, for good luck.
Well, nice of you to do that.
Let's talk about your charity. Absolutely.
It's called the Just Keep Livin Foundation,
and it was started by Camila and Matthew McConaughey,
fellow Texan.
And I'm just a big child advocate,
and it's really focused on high‐school kids
and teaching them to make healthy choices
so that they can create a better future for themselves.
They've donated over 35,000 meals.
They also have what they call Mental Health Monday,
so it helps kids, especially after the pandemic,
with stress, anxiety, and depression,
and donated 700 computers and Wi‐Fi hotspots
so that they could continue their educations at home.
Well, do good for them. Yes.
It's good to have you here, Brooke. I am hoping to.
The chief is here!
James Pickens Jr. from "Grey's Anatomy." Thank you, sir. How are you?
How are you, James? So good to see you. Yes. I'm well, Pat.
You've been with the show from the beginning, right?
From the beginning.
We just finished our 17th season.
Now, help me through this.
[ Applause ] You were ‐‐ Yeah, absolutely.
You were Chief of Surgery. Yes.
But then you resigned, and then you came back.
Then I came back. Then you resigned.
Then I resigned again.
Then you had an affair with somebody's mother.
Yeah, I had an affair.
You got to have a program to keep up with
all the stuff, with this thing.
But it's been a heck of a ride.
It's been an amazing character,
and longest‐running medical drama in TV history
and still going strong. And there have been some good ones in the past.
Yeah. Yeah, we're having fun.
You know, I had no idea this even existed,
but you're a competitive roper.
Yeah, I've loved the Western lifestyle for a long time
and I team‐roped for over 20 years and stuff.
And, I mean, there's a U. S. championship?
Yeah, there's a USTRC,
and there's a World Series of Team Roping,
and I actually put on an event every year
to benefit my charity.
Look, that medical show is fine, but that's really cool.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun. I like that.
Let's talk about your charity.
It's Hands4Hope. It's for at‐risk youth.
It's an after‐school program where we do the STEAM program,
which is science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
We give them a safe place to come and feel like they belong.
There is a low‐cost summer camp program
and also a single‐parent resource fair that we do.
It's been 20 years. I've been involved all 20 years.
It's great. Sounds like they do a lot of good work.
Thank you. Well, good luck to all of you.
Grab those devices again.
We're gonna do another "Toss Up."
This one is worth $2,000.
It will also determine who'll start the first round.
The category is "80's Song Lyrics."
You all remember the '80s, or you read about them.
Here we go.

Ooh!
[ Bell chimes ]
Johnny? "It's raining men!"
Yes! Ah! [ Laughs ] Yeah, baby.
We're proud of you for buzzing in, man.
That was mine. You got that $2,000.
So you have a quick $3,000 already,
without even having spun the wheel,
which you'll be doing in a moment.
Right now, I'll tell everyone that whoever wins this round
is gonna get a bonus of $5,000.
So keep that in mind when you're deciding
whether you should solve or not.
"What Are You Doing?" is the category.
And, Johnny, spin it.
[ Applause ]
R, please.
You know, there's not one R in that puzzle?
And that was a fine letter, too. Oh, my Lord. Okay.
Brooke, go ahead. Yes, sir. Here we go.
How about a T, please?
I like that. There are three of them. Yeah.
That's a pretty good spin, there. [ Cheers and applause ]
What letter for you? May I have an S, please, Pat?
No, there's no S. You've gotta be kidding me! Okay.
No, I wouldn't lie to you. You're a fellow game‐show host.
James? James: Yes. Here we go.
Oh, let's do a T ‐‐ I mean, I'm sorry, let's do an L.
You know what, we got to ‐‐
even though it's charity and all that,
we got to go by the rules,
and I know you didn't mean to say T,
but that's the first thing I heard,
and obviously, it'd been called. Okay.
Don't let it throw you. We're just getting started.
Johnny, it's your turn.
K, please.
K, he says. How interesting.
Yes, there is a K. Could I buy an A, please?

I'd like to solve the puzzle, please.
Alright, go ahead.
Taking it to a whole new level.
You got it. Yes, sir. Nice! Yes, Johnny!
Well! Way to go, John.
Whoo! You got it!
And by the way, Brooke was a really good sport.
When you said, "I want to solve it,"
she looked at you and went...
[ Laughter ]
Something like that. I don't blame you.
$2,550 that round.
We got that $5,000 bonus.
That means that round was worth $7,550.
Yeah. Good job! Thank you.
And he got both "Toss Ups,"
so it's been all Johnny Weir so far. $10,550.
Lots more money to give away. Don't worry about a thing.
And here's Vanna.

You don't want to miss your chance to win.

Welcome back ‐‐ Sunday night, ABC,
"Celebrity Wheel of Fortune."
Right now, the only player who has registered scoring
is Johnny Weir, with $10,550. The Johnny!
Chaaa! Cha‐cha‐cha!
Pat: We have two other players anxious to join him... Yes, we do!
...and we'll see how that works out in a moment.
Let me explain the $1 Million Wedges out there,
at least partially explain. There are four of them.
Should anyone land on one and take control of it,
we'll explain what happens after that.
So, pretty exciting to see them out there, though.
$10,000 will be added to the winner's total this time.
Remember that.
And "Rhyme Time" is the category.
There's a rhyme somewhere in there,
and Brooke Burns will try to find it.
Here she goes. Alright, let's do this.
Big money. Let's go. Big money!
Well, don't look now,
but you're sitting on a Bankrupt. Right off the bat?
Yeah. Why waste time? That's no fair!
Ugh! James, it's your turn.
Yes, here we go. Alrighty.
‐Come on, James! ‐Big money!
Let's go. Big money, big money.
No, no, no, no, no, no! Oh, no! Ohhh.
This is gonna be an all‐Johnny, all the time show.
[ Laughter ]
Don't put that pressure on me. Stay away from us!
We'll find out. Let's go. Whew, okay.
Come on, now. Here we go.
Oh, no! Ah. T, please.
Yes, we have some T's. We have five of them, actually.
Wow. What a good start. $3,250.
You can buy a vowel or spin the wheel.
I would love to buy an A, please.
You would, huh? Three of them.
Whoo! Good job.
And if I could buy an E, please. You can't.
There is no E. Afraid not.
I really wanted to, though, Pat. Alright, Brooke, try it again.
Alright. James: Alright, Brooke. Come on.
Let's see. Here we go, now.
Alright, Pat. May I have an S, please?
Let's check into that. Is there an S?
Yeah, she's moving. That's good. One S.
Buy a vowel, spin the wheel.
Alright. I'd like to buy an I, please.
Yeah. Three I's.
What do we got here? $800.
May I have an H, please? Two H's.
May I please buy an O?
One O, yeah. Ah, okay. Phew.
Alright, all the vowels are gone now. Alright.
So you're gonna have to spin the wheel or solve the puzzle.
You don't know it, go ahead and spin.
I'm gonna spin. May I have a W, please?
Yeah. Two W's. Hmm.
Well, if you were ever gonna find a letter,
this would be a really good time. F, please.
Two F's. Pick up that $1 Million Wedge!
Oh! Oh! Okay!
Oh, boy. Show it to America. There you go.
And she's studying that puzzle. Look at her.
Put it right down below.
Now, if you can end up solving the puzzle
without hitting a Bankrupt and you're the big winner,
you'll be playing for that in the bonus round.
So, what do you want to do?
Either spin the wheel or solve the puzzle.
I can't get that first word! Come on, Brooke!
Alright, just keep filling in. $900. R, please. Yes, one R.
Ohh, I need that first word.
A G, please.
No. No. Oh, no!
James, it's your turn. Okay. I'm gonna spin the wheel.
Alright, go ahead. Alrighty.
James Pickens Jr., "Grey's Anatomy."
Can I have a Y, Pat?
Mm‐hmm. There's a Y. Got a little money now.
Okay. You're doing fine.
If you don't know it, don't worry about it.
Just spin the wheel again, and we'll get some more letters.
You might even land on a $1 Million Wedge.
Well, okay. Now, what letter would you like now?
I would like an L, Pat.
Well, there are two L's. Maybe that'll help you.
In the meantime, pick that up. Okay.
And again, let's take a nice look at that
and ask you to put it down there. Okay.
After that pretty good modeling that you did.
Okay, now, here we go. Okay. Okay.
Let's do an M, Pat.
I'm sorry. No, wait ‐‐ Ugh!
Johnny, it's your turn. What do you want to do? Johnny, it's all you!
I can solve the puzzle. Ohh. And you probably should.
There's a $10,000 bonus to whoever does.
Catch a lift with Taylor Swift. Catch! That's it, yeah.
‐Ohhh! ‐Ohhh!
"Catch" was the catch for everybody.
Now I know what my nightmares will be about tonight.

Johnny, you did it again. $2,750.
We're gonna add $10,000 to that.
$12,750, that is,

You will spin first. Okay, Pat, here we go.

Well, number one, I don't know about you,
but I am totally exhausted.
[ Laughter ] Oh, me, too.
James, $6,250. Read what's up there.
Here's looking at you, Kid Rock. There you go!
[ Applause ]
Whoo!
Oh, a C. I could not get that.
We're gonna add $5,000 to your total.
And guess what? $11,250. He has the lead.
Alright.
We're gonna pass paper bags to everyone and be back shortly.
But Vanna has something she's gonna say here, right?
Yes. Thank you, Pat.
The second "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune"
$10,000 Giveaway Puzzle is coming up,
where you at home have a chance to win $10,000.
So don't go away. Pat?
Alright. Thanks, Vanna.
Well, there they are, back on the wheel,
those $1 Million Wedges, four of them.
Anyone lands on them, as they did in the last half‐hour,
we'll explain more about them.
I will also tell you that $10,000 will be added
to the winner's total in this round.
And I'll tell you that the category for this one
is "Phrase." There it is.
And, Brooke, it's gonna be your turn to start.
Here we go. Alright. Come on, Brooke.
Pat: Ahh. Don't say anything.
Yeah. [Sing‐song voice] Sorry.
[Normal voice] James. Mnh!
Yes. Alright, here we go, Pat. And...
An F, Pat?
I don't think so. No F in that puzzle. Johnny?
Well, he likes those. Hello.
Whoo! James: Come on.
Could I have a T, please?
Yeah, and you can have a $1 Million Wedge.
There you go. Yes!
‐Alright, go, Johnny! ‐Way to go.
Yeah! There it is!
Again, you have to end up solving this round
without hitting a bankrupt before you do,
and then if you can hold onto it
through the remainder of this half‐hour
and go to the bonus round ‐‐ as you did last time ‐‐
you'll be playing for that million again.
Alright. Spin the wheel.
R, please. Yes, two R's.
I'd like to buy some vowels, I think.
Yeah. If I could buy an A, please.
Sounds like the name of a song.
"If I could buy a A, I'd be king of the world."
Yes, there are two A's.
If I could buy an E, please.
No, that we don't have.
Darn. Sorry.
Alright, Brooke. Alright, here we go.
May I have an S, please? Let's see about that.
Vanna's moving. I like that.
That's one and two, and that's it.
I'd like to buy an I. Yes, four I's.
Get out of there! $600.
An H, please. Yeah, two H's.
I'll buy an O, please.
No, there is no O. I'm sorry. No!
James? Spin it. James: Alright. C, please, Pat.
No, not this time.
Johnny. Mm!
N, please.
Yeah. Couple of N's.
Johnny Weir with $2,500. Could I buy a U, please?
That's the last of the vowels, and there is one.
Whoa. $800. Eeh. G, please. Yes, one G.
$3,050.
Still has that $1 Million Wedge in front of him.
By the way, if you land on a second million,
it will not be another million.
That's $1,000, now, you're playing for.
Call a letter. M, please.
And there are two of them. That's $2,000.
No, you don't pick it up again. I want it, though!
Leave it alone! Don't make me come over there, Johnny. I always want the paddles.
I'd like to solve the puzzle, please. Alright. Go ahead. Ugh!
This is making my brain hurt.
[ Laughing ] Yeah, that's it.
I'll tell you what... Making it hurt.
Well done. James: Way to go. So, $5,050.
Remember, we're adding $10,000 to your total there,
so you have $15,050 this round.
$17,050 for this half‐hour,
and hold up that $1 Million Wedge.
You now have control of that.
If you can make it through the next round
and end up going to the bonus round,
you'll be playing for that amount.
So, a lot going on here,
and a lot going on at home, maybe,
for somebody, because someone could win $10,000.
Ain't that right, Jim? Absolutely true, Pat Sajak.
