Wheel of Fortune was great fun! It certainly offered a unique perspective of an everyday part of many people's lives. The sound stage is much smaller than it looks on TV, as is the wheel. We enjoyed solving lots of puzzles that day as we watched the taping of six shows. Our friend Jenn was in the last group of the day (we were not allowed to know her schedule, so just had to keep waiting for her to appear) and was certainly the best puzzle solver in her group. Nathan was a little trooper as he sat quietly through the tapings and clapped, clapped, clapped when we were instructed. My hands felt swollen by the end of the day from all the clapping they ask you to do.
The show is filmed at Sony Studies in Culver City, CA which was formerly MGM. We saw the sound stage where Esther Williams filmed her swimming pool movies! Adam Sandler has an office there as well, although we didn't see him that day. Chris saw Mike Tyson on one of the sound stages, but that was about it for celeb spottings - with the exception of Pat and Vanna, of course!
Now that I have had the chance to be in a studio audience for a game show I can cross that off my life list (JK). After hours of clapping, I really don't think I'll have the need to do that ever again. But, we do thank Chris and Jenn for taking us along and giving us a chance for another unique experience on this journey.
Sorry I have no pictures for this - cameras were definitely a NO-NO inside the studio gates.
