Pat Sajak and Vanna White!
Well, howdy. Hi.
Nice seeing you here. Thank you very much.
It's Sunday night. It's ABC.
It must be "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune" prime time.
Yes, it is, and we love giving away money,
and tonight, it's all for charity.
That's right. We've got big money on our wheel
and a chance to give away $1 million
not once, but twice.
Wouldn't that be exciting?
Yes, the excitement starts right now. Well, then, I'm leaving.
Here we go. Yay!
Laverne, Ali, Von, great to have you here.
We're going to get started right away giving away money.
Grab those devices.
$1,000 at stake in our first "Toss Up."
The category is "Movie Quote."
When you're sure you know it, just ring in.
Alright, here we go.
It's a "Movie Quote."
[ Bell chimes ]
Ooh, Laverne.
You had me at hello.
‐Oh! ‐That's it. Whoa!
‐Look at that. ‐Wow.
Be still, my heart.
Are you okay?
This is very stressful.
‐This is very stressful. ‐That was amazing.
That's from "Jerry Maguire," of course.
‐And you got it right away. ‐I know.
It's worth $1,000 already. That's great!
So what are you involved in now?
There's a documentary, I know, going.
I have a documentary called "Disclosure."
It looks at the history of trans representation
in film and on television
from the perspectives of real, live trans people.
"The Laverne Cox Show." This is a podc‐‐
You know, I'm the only person in America
without a podcast, and I ‐‐
I think you need to get on that, Mr. Sajak.
Maybe I should. Yes.
So tell us about yours.
It's called "The Laverne Cox Show," oddly enough.
I have conversations with incredible people
who teach me things.
It's a show about healing, raising critical awareness,
and, yeah, about a spiritual makeover.
I want a spiritual makeover, and come and join me.
So, let's talk about your charity.
I am playing for the Trans Justice Funding Project,
an initiative of the Tides Center.
And the Trans Justice Funding Project provides grants
to transgender‐run grassroots organizations
all over the country.
And what's beautiful about it is that they provide help
for people on the ground, trans folks who need it most.
Well, you're off to a good start. You won $1,000 for them.
And you'll win a lot more, I'm sure. It's good having you here.
Thank you very much. Thank you.
Hello, Ali! Hello, Pat.
Actress, comedian, author, producer,
coat hanger, ottoman, Ali Wentworth is here.
Yes, I'm here. How you doing? It's good to see you.
You're married to this Stephanopoulos guy, right?
I am. I'm married to the George Stephanopoulos guy.
Yeah, now, he ‐‐
So you guys ‐‐ Like, if you watch "Wheel,"
it's like staying up late for you.
You must go to bed like ‐‐
Well, we watch "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel,"
and we know when "Wheel" is over, time to go to bed.
And who's better at which?
George is better at both.
There, I said it. There, I said it.
Wow. That was very nice of you to say.
I know, but I'm a better cook and a nicer person.
Well, we are glad you're here.
[ Laughter ]
Thank you for having me.
Yeah. You want to talk about your charity?
I do. Good+ Foundation,
I've been on the board for 20 years,
and we help under‐served families in New York.
We have a fatherhood initiative now
'cause we believe the whole family as a unit
is what gets families to thrive.
And especially during this past year of the pandemic,
we are sort of scaffolding everybody
to get back on their feet again,
'cause everybody got hit very hard.
Alright. Great to have you here.
Win a lot of money. Thank you. I'm happy to be here.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's the great Von Miller!
Hi, Von! Whoo!
[ Chuckles ]
Good to see you.
Outside linebacker for ‐‐
This is, what, year 10, 11, something?
Year 11. It's been a long time.
Has it gone by as fast as I suspect it has?
It has. The years go by fast, but the days are still long.
Yeah. You are, if I'm not mistaken ‐‐
Are you the active player current leader in sacks, right?
Yeah, that's what they say. That's what they say.
Yeah, well, it's true. He's being modest about it.
Super Bowl 50 MVP, eight‐time Pro Bowler.
Talk about your charity. Von's Vision,
we started in 2012.
We help kids with glasses, contacts, LASIK surgery,
pretty much anything to do with the eyes,
and we help kids in need.
Terrific. Well, listen,
we're going to raise a lot of money here tonight,
but we're going to have a lot of fun, too, so we can do both.
So if you'll grab those devices again,
we're going to do another "Toss Up."
This one is worth $2,000, will also determine
who will start the first round,
and the category is "Thing."
Again, when you're sure you know it,
just ring in and win some money.
Here we go.
[ Bell chimes ] Ali.
A rite of passage.
Yeah, you got it. Wow.
Yeah, take that, Stephanopoulos.
Yeah. You got the $2,000,
and that means you'll be spinning in just a moment.
But I remind everyone that we're going to add $5,000
to the winning total in the next round.
Whoever wins that round gets an extra $5,000.
"Person" is the category.
Now, it's not a proper name. It's a person.
And you'll figure that out.
Ali, you will spin the wheel, please.
Yeah. Ooh, that's a lot of letters.
And it's $600.
L.
Yes, there are four L's,
an excellent start.
$2,400,
and you can buy a vowel or spin the wheel again.
I'm going to buy a vowel. I'm going to buy an O.
Vowels are very valuable,
as you will learn as we go along,
and there's one O. Vanna's searching for it. There it is!
Is there an S?
I believe there are two of them.
On she goes.
$3,150.
Okay, I'd like to buy an E.
Well, after you spin, you need to call a consonant.
Okay, let me do that first. Yeah.
A T.
I love when you test the host
just to make sure he's paying attention.
Four T's.
Now, if you want a vowel, this would be the time.
Do you still want that E? Are you interested in that?
I would like to buy the E.
Yeah, okay. There you go.
Five E's.
Okay.
Alright, the same options ‐‐
you can buy a vowel or spin the wheel.
I'm going to buy an A.
There you go. One A.
R, please.
Yeah, three R's.
Continue doing very well here, Ali.
You have $7,900.
An N as in Nancy.
There are two Nancys up there, yes.
$9,300, you have. Same options.
I'd like to solve it.
Well, then, go ahead, smarty.
Longtime listener, first‐time caller.
That is it. Wow. Good job.
You just raced through that thing.
It was fun.
$9,300, and we're going to add
that $5,000 bonus we talked about. Thank you.
So that's a big round for you.
$14,300.
You've already raised $16,300.
Congratulations. Thank you.
And we're just getting started here.
Vanna, this could be exciting.
Yes, it is. Don't go away.
You at home could win $10,000.

And Von Miller's going to be spinning here in a moment.
Von's Vision Foundation.
So we're already raising a lot of money here.
And we have $1 Million Wedges on the wheel,
four of them, speaking of big money.
And should someone land on one and pick it up,
we'll talk in greater detail about that.
Also, a reminder, players, that whoever wins this round
gets an additional $10,000 added to their total.
So a big round here. "Phrase" is the category.
There's the puzzle.
And, Von, give it a good spin, please, sir.

What letter would you like?

H.
Let's see about that. I believe you got three of them.

Buy a vowel or spin the wheel.
Hey, hey, hey. Look at that.
First, we need to find a letter.
‐N? ‐Yes.
You have found a letter.
Pick up that $1 Million Wedge. Show America.
There you go. Hey, hey.
Put it right down there. You got it.
And, now, if you end up winning this round
without losing that $1 Million Wedge,
you'll have control of it.
If you can do that through the end of the half‐hour
and get to the Bonus Round,
you'll be playing for a million bucks, so a lot at stake here.
Meantime, a vowel or spin, Von?
I'll buy a vowel. Okay.
E?
Yes, two E's.
Let's get you out of there. Come on, one more.
There you go. Whew.
C?
No, that, we don't have. I'm sorry.
But no harm. We'll make it back to you.
Laverne, it's your turn.
Big money! There you ‐‐
You've always wanted to yell that, didn't you?
I've wanted to do that for 30 years.
I know.
Alright, what do you got?

That's $2,200.
I would like to buy a vowel, please.
Is there an I?

I will buy a vowel. Is there an O, by chance?

‐Yeah, yeah, yeah. ‐Okay.
Okay.
Big money!
Is there a G?
There are two G's.
Big money!
Well, afraid the wheel is going to cut you off here,
as it stands. Sorry.
Ali, it's your turn. Yep.
Vanna, a D as in dog, please.
Vanna, you heard her. What?!
Vanna? Vanna.
Can't blame that one on me.
Von.
Whoa. Got that $1 Million Wedge.
We don't want any Bankrupts there.
M?
Yes, one M.
So, you can buy a vowel.
A consonant, please.
Y?
Yeah, there are two Y's.
Alright. So, there is a vowel.
You can buy that, or you can spin the wheel
or try to solve the puzzle.
‐No, go, go, go, go! ‐One more.
‐Aah. ‐Oh, my geez.
Von, I'm sorry. You're going to have to take
that $1 Million Wedge and drop it
into our cheap, little bag of stuff there.
Geez. There you go. Alright.
Laverne, you have $3,600.
If you know it, you can solve it,
or you can buy a vowel.
I'd like to solve the puzzle, please.
Okay, go ahead.
My Uber rating is higher than yours.
That's it. You got it.
You went to a higher source, and you got it.
You alright? Can I get you a chair?
Can I get you a couch? This is very stressful, Mr. Sajak.
I ‐‐ This is very, very stressful.
I've, like, waited 30 years to be here,
and I'm ‐‐ This is hard.
You're doing just fine. Ali: You got it!
Now, you won $3,600, and remember,
we're getting a $10,000 bonus. I love that.
So your charity has just won $13,600 thanks to you.
That's incredible. That's incredible.
So feel relaxed?
[ Chuckles ]
You know, speaking of $10,000,

All of them have the same category,
which is "Title," okay?
And here is number one.
[ Bell chimes ] Ali.
The New Yorker?

Alright. Well, you got two of the three.
That's another 10 grand,
and you have the lead at this point.
Ali doing well with $21,300.
And, Von, we're going to get you going here,
I am convinced of that, very soon.
But I will tell you this for all of you,
and you should all know,
no matter where you stand in the scores right now,
that $20,000 is going to be added to the next puzzle.
Wow. So that's a biggie.
And "What Are You Doing?" is the category for it.
And there you go.
And, Laverne, you got that last "Toss Up,"
so you get to spin first.
Big money!
I like the follow‐through. Very good.
Is there a T?
Well, there is. Actually, two of them.
I'd like to buy a vowel, please.
Is there by chance an E?
Well, there is, and it's more than chance.
There are two of them.
It's destiny. I'd love to buy another vowel.
Alright. Oh, God. Is there an O?
There's no O. Aah!
You were right to grimace, as it turns out.
Ali. Yep.
H.
There is one H.
A.
We're buying a vowel. There is an A.
Yeah, actually, two A's coming up.
And it's $500.
S.
Mm‐hmm, one S.
P?
Well, if you're going to call a consonant,
you need to spin first. Okay, let me spin first,
Pat, and then I'll give ‐‐ Yeah. Here's an idea.
Yeah. Spin the wheel and then call ‐‐
That was my idea ‐‐ I had the same idea.
You want to stick to that letter that you called there?

So we're going to an L.
Yeah.
Look at that.
Hey, looky there.
Now call a consonant.
R.
Two R's. Ohh!
Pick up the million dollars!
Oh!
So, again, if you can hang onto that
through the end of the round without a Bankrupt
and you end up being the big winner going to the Bonus Round,
you'll be playing for a million bucks.
So if you can unhand that for a moment ‐‐
I'm gonna buy a vowel, and that vowel would be I.
Yes, two I's.
Now all the vowels are gone.
And it's $700.
An N as in Nancy.
Yes, there are two N's.
Okay, spin it if you don't know it,
but it looks like you do. I know it.
Well, then, you know what? Share it with America.
Reading the small print.
You got it. Yes, ma'am.
Wow! So ‐‐
This is a fun game!
Are you jumping up and down?
I'm jumping up and down.
Well, let's do a little recapping here.
$3,550.

Laverne: Oh, my goodness. So $23,550 for the round.
That means for this half‐hour, you're the big winner.
$44,850 for Good+ Foundation.
And hold up that $1 Million Wedge,
because when you go to the Bonus Round,
you're going to be taking that with you.
And one of those spaces out there will be a million dollars.

while we tell Laverne that you had a really good first half.
You should be very proud of yourself.
Nice going to you, for the Trans Justice Funding Project.
Von Miller, Von's Vision Foundation,
nothing yet, but the good news is, after the Bonus Round,
we're coming back, we're gonna play another full game here,
so a good chance to win some money there.
So, here's the story, Ali.
We have three categories.
You'll pick one for the Bonus Round.
What do you like ‐‐ "Thing,"
"Food & Drink,"
"What Are You Wearing?"
"Food & Drink."
I had you pictured
for a "Food & Drink"er, yeah.

Wow.
Ali Wentworth, almost $45,000 for her charity already,

They're very happy with you.
Look what you brought over here. Wow.
Look at that. Isn't she pretty?
So, we have $100,000 wedges ‐‐ envelopes out there. Excuse me.
There are four of them.
We took one of them out
and replaced it with the $1 million
since you brought this over here.
Your cohorts are back there rooting you on.
And we're going to ask you to give that wheel a good spin.
Come on. Okay.
Whoa! She's stronger than she looks!
Alright, you can head over there to your mark, if you would,
and I will head over here.
And we are on the M in "game."
Could be a million here. We'll find out soon.
Alright, you chose "Food & Drink," right?
Yeah.
So, R, S, T, L, N, E.
We always start with those letters,
because they're so common and so boring
when people used to call them all the time.
And now you have to go to work.
We need three more consonants and then one more vowel.
What do you want to start with? A T.
T was part of the original package.
Yep. Glad that was.
You keep testing me, and I like that.
I know. I just want you on your toes.
Yeah. Go ahead.
I would like a D as in dog.
Alright.
A B as in boy. Uh‐huh.
A Y, and a P as in Pat.
Wait, you had D, B, and then you said Y?
Mm‐hmm. Okay.
I thought you said a Y and a something else. No.
I might have said why not?
You want a D and a B and a Y.
Yeah. Okay, now I'm testing you.
Alright. And now we need a vowel.
Well, that's going to be an O.
Okay. As in origami.
Yes. Yes. Alright.
Vanna, if you would, please.
Ooh.
That's all you get, but listen, I have confidence in you.

Come on, million, come on, million.
Come on‐‐ Oh, please, don't you do it!
Okay, wheel, really?
Really, girl?
You know, you're talking to an inanimate object, by the way.
Sometimes they talk back.
Go ahead, Ali. It's your turn. Alright.
I'd like to buy a vowel, please.
Well, you know, as you know,
since you've spun the wheel, you have to ask for a consonant.
I know.
An S, as in "Sam."
Okay, so you watch "Wheel" every night before bed?
And now you see why George
beats me every night.
Yeah. Alright, you have $700.
What do you want to do, Ali?
Can I have an I, Vanna?
Yeah, you can. There you go.
I would like an N, as in "Nancy," please.
Yes, there is one N.
Now, you can buy a vowel,
or you can spin the wheel.
I think I'll buy a vowel. Which one would you like?
Well, I think the one that begins with my name, Ali.
Can I have an A, please, Vanna?
There are two A's.
Now, all the vowels are gone.
And looky there.
First things first, you have to find a letter.
Yeah, well, that'll be an M, as in "Mary."
You got it. Yes, one M.
Pick up that $1 Million Wedge. Show America.
There you go. You've got that.
And now if you don't know it, though,
you're going to have to put that $1 Million Wedge down below
and spin.
Oh, no, no, no. No! No!
Oh. I'm so sorry.
You know, you have to dump that on ‐‐
Yeah, just ‐‐
