Wheel of Fortune is getting a celebrity spinoff series for the first time at ABC.
The network has ordered a series of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, which will see the long-running game show make its primetime debut.
The spin-off will be hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White and will see celebrity contestants come spin the wheel and solve word puzzles for a chance to win up to $1M with all of the prize money going to a charity of their choice.
It is the latest daytime game show to score its own celebrity spin-off following the likes of The Price Is Right at Night and Let’s Make A Deal, which also recently secured its first celebrity spin-off this season.
