Are ‘Celebrity Wheel of Fortune’ Players ‘Normal’? Pat Sajak & Vanna White Debate (VIDEO)

For the fourth season, celebrities are once again taking a turn spinning the world’s most famous Wheel on America’s Game to solve puzzles for the chance to win $1 million for charities, and TV Insider has an exclusive first look at a featurette with hosts Pat Sajak and Vanna White ahead of the Celebrity Wheel of Fortune premiere on September 27.

“This show, 41 years, everything is so great when you see people win, and they win every day, so it’s a happy show,” White says in the video. “It’s fun. There’s so much excitement.”

As you can see, the celebrities clearly have fun playing the game, with Gabriel Iglesias calling it “a dream come true” and exclaiming, “I’ve been waiting to say this my whole life: Come on, big money!” before he spins the wheel. Kim Fields notes that White is “famous-famous” because she’s “transcended to becoming a verb.”

As Sajak notes of the players, “A lot of them actually watch the show and so they sort of know what’s going on. The best compliment I can give to them is, ‘You play like our regular players.’” When White says she thinks “they’re normal,” Sajak disagrees: “Let’s not overdo it. Have you met all of them?”
