‘Celebrity Wheel of Fortune’ Sets Star-Studded Lineup with Patton Oswalt, Leslie Jones, and More

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune has set a star-studded lineup for its inaugural season. Hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White, ABC’s celebrified take on the classic game show will include appearances from a variety of big names, including Leslie Jones, Patton Oswalt, Jennie Garth, Drew Carey, and more.

ABC announced its first batch of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune contestants in a video released Monday afternoon. “Don’t miss Celebrity Wheel of Fortune on ABC with our all-star lineup of players,” said Sajak, by way of introduction. “Now this I have to see!” replied White.

The full list of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune contestants featured in ABC’s video is as follows:

Much like celebrity editions of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Family Feud, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune  will see today’s biggest stars compete to win up to $1 million for their favorite charity. The spinoff marks the first time the classic game show will air in primetime after almost 40 years in syndication, but other than the special guests and new time slot, viewers should expect the same old Wheel of Fortune format.

According to ABC, Wheel of Fortune is the most successful game show in television history. The iconic property, which aired on NBC and then CBS before finding its current home at ABC, is currently in its 38th season in syndication and averages more than 8 million viewers per night. The network has renewed Wheel of Fortune through the 2022-2023 season, but it’s likely that it will continue to live on well beyond that.

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune debuts Thursday, January 7 at 8/7c on ABC.
