Graham Norton Hosts Charity Edition of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune

Graham Norton will host a special edition of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune airing on ITV2 on December 28, featuring Tom Allen, Michelle Visage, and Eddie Kadi competing for charities. Meanwhile, the iconic game show Wheel of Fortune is gearing up for its 42nd season with Ryan Seacrest as the new host, while fans reminisce about classic moments, including the record-setting 47-letter puzzle from 2003. The show's format has evolved significantly since its inception in 1975, notably phasing out the returning champion style to keep the competition fresh and engaging for viewers. Contestants now have a single episode chance to win, reflecting a shift to include new players each night. In a recent interview, ex-host Pat Sajak emphasized the importance of luck in the game, noting that it can often overshadow skill. Additionally, some contestants like Sam Nguyen have transitioned between game shows, sharing their experiences and aspirations across platforms.
