Tonight on "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,"
Karl‐Anthony Towns...
Anthony Anderson...
Wait a minute! I didn't have my glasses on, Pat!
...and Marcia Cross.
Whoo‐hoo! [ Laughs ]
All competing tonight for charity on "Celebrity..."
All: "Wheel!
Of!
Fortune!"
And now, here are the stars of America's Game ‐‐
Pat Sajak and Vanna White!
Hello! Hi!
Thank you, Jim. Thanks very much.
And welcome to "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune" prime time.
It's time for a night of fun and friendly competition
for the chance for these stars to win
$1 million for charity.
Will it happen tonight? Gee, I hope so.
Let's find out. Let's get started right now.
[ Applause ]
Hey, KAT, Anthony, Marcia, great to have you here.
Grab those devices. We're going to start right away
by giving away some money ‐‐
$1,000 for one of these folk's charities.
"Movie Quote" is the category.
There's the puzzle,
and Vanna will do her thing right now.
♪♪
[ Bell chimes ]
"Shall we play a game?"
Yeah, from "WarGames." You got it.
Superstar basketball player from
the Minnesota Timberwolves, Karl‐Anthony Towns.
How you doing?
I'm doing great. Good to see you.
KAT. Yes, yes, yes.
You can call me Pat, and you'll be KAT.
It'll work out real well.
Rookie of the Year, when was that?
Ooh, that was a long time now.
2015, I believe. 2016.
And now you're a grizzled veteran.
Yeah. Yeah. It happens fast.
Two‐time All‐Star, though, right? Yes.
Pretty versatile, too. Center, forward.
What do you think of yourself as?
Uh, just versatile.
You know, do whatever the team asks from me, you know?
That's the best way to be, I would think, in any sport.
Absolutely.
Probably in any walk of life. Anything.
Talk about your charity.
Yeah, Vera Institute of Justice is an amazing charity,
and, you know, what they really emphasize on is securing justice
not only for people of race,
but for people of disabilities, as well.
So it's a charity just securing justice for everybody.
So, already got $1,000. Win some more.
Yeah, absolutely. Good to have you here.
Absolutely. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen,
producer, actor... Where?
...Emmy nominee, and most important,
game show host, Anthony Anderson.
Hi, Anthony. Good to see you. Hey, Pat. How are you?
Good! Hi, Vanna.
Hi!
Uh, boy, congratulations on "Black‐ish."
What a wonderful series it's been. Thank you.
And last season? Last season.
Going into our eighth and final season this year.
Executive producer of that and, like, 18 different spin‐offs.
Yeah, yeah. A few. "Mixed‐ish" and "Grown‐ish."
So many, I can't even think of what the "Ish"s are.
[ Laughter ]
That's a nice problem to have.
Yeah, it is. It is.
And welcome to the game show fraternity.
How are you enjoying this "To Tell the Truth" deal?
Doing great, man.
We just wrapped our seventh season.
Wow. So I have a ways to catch you.
Yes. [ Laughs ] But I'm pushing forward.
Yeah. Well, good for you. And talk about your charity.
It's the Anderson Family Foundation.
And, you know, we help underserved
and underprivileged youth in the inner cities,
in particular Compton and Watts, where I grew up.
Also the homeless situation in Los Angeles
and Children's Hospital of L. A.
Alright. Good for you. Nice to have you here, Anthony.
Win a lot of money for them. Thank you.
Marcia, Marcia, Marcia.
Marcia Cross of "Desperate Housewives."
Everyone knows you from there.
It's good to have you with us.
Now, your charity is very personal to you, I know. Talk about it.
Yes, I'm playing for Stand Up To Cancer,
and both my husband and I have had cancer.
We're fine, but Stand Up To Cancer is
an amazing charity.
They do a lot of research for different cancers,
and they do research for
HPV virus cancers that cause cancers,
and so I am really happy to be here today and well.
Well, we're glad you're here.
And, you know, the great thing about ‐‐
that I hear more and more of from people
is that, "We're doing fine."
And that's ‐‐ Yes.
It doesn't mean you're going to die.
It's just ‐‐ it's a disease, and you have to deal with it.
It's not like it was before.
Well, it's great to have you all here. Thank you.
Get ready. We'll do another "Toss Up."
This one is worth $2,000. Alright.
It will also determine who will start the first round. Oh, boy. Here we go.
And the category is "Place." Vanna, if you would, please.
♪♪
[ Bell chimes ]
Marcia.
Never‐Never Land.
Yeah, that's the place. Yay.
Very nice.
Marcia gets the $2,000. Congratulations on that.
Now, in this first round, we're going to add $5,000
to the winner's total, so keep that in mind as you decide
whether you're going to solve or not.
"Phrase" is the category.
And, Marcia, since you got that last "Toss Up,"
you get to spin first.
Spinning. Okay, here we go.
Let's go, Marcia. Let's go.
Oh!
Well... [ Gasps ]
You know, it's...
Ugh!
It's a little early to be discouraged.
I'm not discouraged. But don't worry about it.
KAT, your turn, please.
Absolutely.
S.
Let's see. There's no S in that puzzle.
Anthony, let's see what you can do.
Ooh. Ooh!
R.
No, sorry. Marcia.
[ Grunts ]
There's always an R at home.
L.
Yes, we got one. There you go. There is an L.
What do you want to do?
You can buy a vowel or spin the wheel.
I'll buy a vowel. Okay.
An E, please.
You will learn, as you play, the importance of
vowel buying, and there are five of them there.
Mm. Anthony: Okay, okay.
You still have $450. Same options.
Vowel or spin.
I'll buy an A, please.
Yeah, one A.
[ Grunts ]
No! Well, you've pretty much
mastered that one, there.
What happened? You have been Bankrupt again.
Not again! Yeah, I know.
Then, KAT, it's your turn.
Absolutely.
H.
Let's see. Four H's.
There we go. There we go. There we go.
Would be a good name for a club, wouldn't it?
You have $2,400, KAT. There you go.
Boy, we're having some
Bankrupt issues out here.
Not much you can do about that. Anthony.
Alright, let's see here.
Well, for variety, we get a "Lose a Turn."
Marcia, it's your turn again.
Oh. Really?
Yes, I didn't mean to alarm you. Okay.
T.
There are four T's.
C.
No. No C.
Ugh!
KAT, try it again.
Well, I hope we're getting all these
out of our system early here.
Anthony. Anthony: Oh, alright.
Ah! I left my thing.
[ Laughs ] Stop!
Okay.
Alright. Just give me one second, KAT.
Let me grab that. Alright.
Uh...
Yeah?
D.
One D. There you go.
And it's $500.
V. Victor.
Vic's not in. Okay.
Sorry. Marcia.
Marcia: Please don't get Bankrupt.
G.
There is a G. Yes.
I have to spin again?
That's all right. You're doing fine.
Uh, N.
Yeah, and actually, there are two of them.
Maybe that'll help you out.
Oh, okay. Should I guess it now?
If you know it, go ahead.
The man, the myth, the legend.
That's it. You got it. Whoo!
The man, the myth, the legend. And the winner!
Yay.
$4,150.
We're going to add $5,000 to the total, as we told you.
$9,150.
You won that money earlier.
Have over $11,000 already for your charity.
Yes. Congratulations on that.
KAT with 1,000 bucks,
Marcia with that $11,150, and Anthony,
it's going to get better. I hope so.
It will. We're just getting started here.
Vanna, it always gets better, doesn't it?
Vanna: It does.
Thank you, Pat.
The first "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.
♪♪
So, before we came back, Marcia was talking to Vanna
about her shoes. You were...?
Well, having, you know, dressed like that
many, many times, I think they should give her
a pair of sneakers, and, you know, sneakers
are all the rage right now.
I mean, you know. Right?
What do you think? Yeah!
I suggested a moving sidewalk that would just
go back and forth. Yeah, or a moving sidewalk.
I'll go for that, too.
Basketball sneakers, Balenciagas. Yeah, so you can work less.
I mean, it's... Alright.
Or just have somebody carry you out.
Oh, now you're talking, Anthony.
I like that.
We're trying to help here. Alright.
Look at that wheel.
Four $1 Million Wedges are out there.
Should someone land on it and pick it up,
we'll explain a little more about it.
But right now, let me explain this.
$10,000 will be added to the winner's total
in this round.
So a lot at stake here. "Show Biz" is the category.
And here's the puzzle.
Wow. KAT, your turn to start.
Got it.
Well, that's not a bad first spin.
KAT: That wasn't bad.
But first, you got to find a letter that's in the puzzle.
T. Marcia: Yes!
You may pick up that $1 Million Wedge.
Yes, yes! Show them your million dollars.
There we go. There you go.
Looks good.
And if you'll drop it right down there.
Now, the deal is that you have to hang on to it
throughout this round without losing it to a Bankrupt.
You have to win this round. That's not luck, then.
Then you have control of it.
And then if you can keep it through the end
of this half hour and get to the bonus round,
you'll be playing for a million bucks.
Whew! Anyway, a long way to go
with that, but first things first,
spin the wheel.
Absolutely.
Anthony: Another one?! I swear.
H.
Yes, one H.
You got a little money now if you want to do
any vowel buying. Up to you.
Absolutely. I would like to buy a vowel.
Sure. I'll buy an A.
I believe there are two.
Okay.
You still have $350.
You can buy another or spin it.
Yeah, I'll buy another on. Why not?
E. I like that.
Four E's.
Oh.
Let's see if we can stay away from Bankrupts here.
S.
Mm‐hmm. One S.
$750, KAT.
L.
Mm‐hmm.
Yeah, three L's.
That money looks better now. $2,700.
Can I buy a vowel? I would like to buy O.
Three O's.
I'll buy another vowel. I'll buy U.
You know what? There is no U.
I'm sorry. Anthony.
Oh, let's see here.
Spin it around. Big money!
Big money.
V, as in Victor.
Yes. There are three V's up there.
Uh‐huh.
That's $1,800.
I'd like to solve the puzzle, Pat.
You would? Yes.
Alright, go ahead.
Having a telethon on live television.
You know, that's not right.
No! I'm sorry.
I'm desperately sorry. Oh.
And speaking of that, Marcia, it's your turn.
I, uh...
I'm afraid just because I get the Bankrupts.
But should I solve it? But if you don't know it...
If you know it, take a shot at it.
Okay. Having a meltdown on live television.
That's it, yeah. I'm gonna have a meltdown!
Anthony: Wait a minute!
Wait a minute. I didn't have my glasses on, Pat!
I got it from you! [ Laughs ]
Kevin, where are my glasses?!
He's having a meltdown on live television.
No!
Are you okay?
I'm done.
Okay. [ Laughter ]
Marcia, you did the right thing,
because even though you had no money, remember, we're adding
a $10,000 bonus, so solving was the way to go. Yes.
You got that $10,000.
You're up to $21,150
for Stand Up To Cancer.
KAT, why you let me say that, man?
Anthony needs an aspirin,
and KAT has $1,000.
I can barely afford an Aspirin.

but through the magic of "Wheel of Fortune,"
you now have $20,450. Yes!
That means, for this half hour,
$25,450 for the Anderson Family Foundation.
We're delighted about that, Anthony.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
KAT, just 1,000 bucks.
We're gonna play another game, and maybe we can cut down
on those "Lose a Turns" and Bankrupts.
I hope so. But right now,
we're gonna be rooting on Marcia,

$31,150.

What do you like?
Which of those would you like to play for
in the bonus round?

$31,150. Congratulations.
That's terrific. Thank you.

Alright, go for it.
There are four $100,000 spaces out there.
And you can move right down there, if you would,
to your mark, and I'll move in here.
Well, what did we get? Ah, the old N in "Win."
Maybe a good sign.
Alright, you chose "Place" as your category.
R, S, T, L, N, E.
We start you with those letters
because they're the common letters,
and we want to get them out of the way.
Give you a little head start.
But you're not going to solve it with that.
We need some more letters,
so let's get three more consonants
and then another vowel.
Okay.
T.
Okay, that's part of the original package we gave you.
So pick another. Oh, shoot.
That's all right. So I pick from ‐‐ Okay.
Yeah, use letters we give to your advantage.
G. Okay.

That's all right.
I.
But that was a first, by the way.
Okay. I'm happy for that.
Let's see if any of those GMPIs are up there.
Alright.

and you did the jumping up and down thing.
And it's funny, you don't think
you're going to do that, right?
Right. "I know.
I'm in television and all that.
I know how to react."
And yet you find yourself doing it.
I was ‐‐ I couldn't stop myself. I felt great.
You know, we talk about "Desperate Housewives" a lot,
but you spent a good time in daytime television, right?
I did. That's where I got my start.
Live, old‐fashioned daytime television.
That looks like really tough work, not that the rest isn't.
I couldn't do it now. It's, you know,
pages and pages of dialogue like that.
I know. They just throw it all at them.
Anyway ‐‐ And the reason I got that was
because Marc Cherry was always just, "Stick to the script."

So, I'm just blessed to find some health.
So you've been doing it since you were a toddler?
Yeah, I've been... Well, you're doing great.
And have a good second half here. Appreciate you. Thank you.
Anthony, I heard a story you told on a podcast,
and I'm going to check with you and see if this is true.
It has to do with your mom and Kinko's.
[ Laughs ] You know what I'm talking about?
I know exactly what you're talking about.

"Fun & Games" is the category for this round, as well.
And there's the puzzle, and you can go ahead and spin, KAT.

Where's the Bankrupts? Oh, where is ‐‐ Huh?
Where's the Bankrupts? Right there, right there.

If anyone lands on and picks it up, we'll talk more about that.
Meantime, I will tell you that $10,000
will be added to the winner's total in this round.
And "Before & After" is the category.
That's where we mash two things together,
like "Marcia Cross examination" ‐‐
"Marcia Cross" and "cross examination."

Yeah. Three T's.
Well, well, well. Yes!
Now, you need to find a letter that's in the puzzle.
Which one you want to try?
H.
You may pick up the $1 Million Wedge, yes.
Yes!
Show America.
There you go.
You're dressed for it.
Alright, put that right down there, and remember,
you need to win this round without hitting a Bankrupt
before you do in order to claim it.
And then if you can hold onto it through the end of the show
without any Bankrupts and make it to the bonus round,
you'll be playing for a million bucks.
What do you want to do next?
I will buy an I.
That's a good buy.
You bought a right one because there are three of them.
I'll buy a U.
Yeah, it's the last of the vowels,
so we know it's up there somewhere.
There it is.
C.
Yes, two C's.
Oh, I think I've got it.
Oh, go ahead.
And I'm going to have one. A cardio short circuit?
No. No!
Sorry. That's not correct.
Oh!
KAT, it's your turn. Find a letter.
Can he get to the big one? Not quite. $500.
Need a letter.
M.
Yes.
Oh, thank God.
Marcia: Oh! There it is.
KAT, you know this puzzle? If you've...
I'm still lost. I'll go and solve it.
Yeah, okay.
[ Sighs ]
Martin Short ‐‐ Short circuit.
[ Buzzer ] Yeah.
[ Man speaking indistinctly ]
No! No! My turn!
Wait. Hang on.
My turn! My turn! No!
What are we doing, executive producer?
[ Man speaking indistinctly ]
Anthony's turn.
Thank you. Okay.
[ Laughter ]
It's your turn, Anthony.
Are you gonna solve?
I'd like to solve it.
Okay.
Martin Short circuit.
Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah.
‐Oh. ‐Sorry, KAT.
Yeah. Ohhh.
You know, and I understand the problem there.
'Cause we just talked about it. We talked about it,
how we do it, you got to do it. Had "Before & After."
And you added a second time there.
Oh, no.
So we have to go by the rules here.
Okay. Yeah. You understand that.
Being in the NBA, as you are,
where the refs never miss a call.
So, Anthony,
$1,850 that round.
We'll add $10,000 to that.
$11,850.
So, here's where we stand.
KAT has $10,600 for this half of the show.
Anthony, $11,850.
Marcia with $1,000,
for their respective charities,
which are
the Vera Institute of Justice for Karl,
the Anderson Family Foundation for Anthony,
and Stand Up To Cancer for Marcia.
So, you're doing great for those organizations.
And, Jim, I'm told ‐‐ is this true? ‐‐
