00:00From Sony Pictures Studios, it's America's Game.
00:08We'll. Own. Mortgage.
00:12Ladies and gentlemen, here are the stars of our show.
00:16That's Zaytek and Vanna White.
00:22Thank you, Jim.
00:23No XL this week.
00:24No.
00:25But I do wear a 40 regular.
00:31Nice to see you all.
00:33So each one of you should have one of those devices.
00:35And we're going to play this toss-up worth $1,000.
00:38Rhyme time is the category.
00:41Vanna, let's go.
00:42Go.
00:59Ashley.
01:00West Coast is the best coast.
01:03Yeah, I don't know if it's true, but it rhymes.
01:06That's the main thing.
01:08Ashley gets $1,000.
01:09That's Ashley Martin.
01:10From Boonville, Mississippi.
01:11How are things in Boonville?
01:12They're great.
01:13How many people live in Boonville?
01:14Not too many.
01:16Fewer than here, for sure.
01:18Okay, gotcha.
01:19You're married?
01:20I am to my husband, Daniel.
01:21And we have one daughter.
01:22She's 10 years old.
01:23Her name is Dani Marie.
01:24And you're a teacher.
01:26I am.
01:27This is my 16th year.
01:28I work with elementary students at Marietta Elementary.
01:30Go Raiders.
01:31You want to mention quickly a specific student?
01:33I need to mention Holden because he loves Wheel of Fortune even more than I do.
01:37And you are his favorite person.
01:39Well, Holden is a man of distinction.
01:41No doubt about that.
01:43And give him my best.
01:44I will.
01:45Nice to have you here.
01:46Tell him I'm a nice guy.
01:47I will.
01:48I will.
01:49Hi, Lenny.
01:50Hey, how are you?
01:51I'm well, thanks.
01:52Lenny Larkin, Charleston, South Carolina.
01:53Let's hear about your family.
01:54I'm married to my beautiful wife, Gina.
01:55And I have a son, Cameron.
01:57And he and his wife, Bailey, we just found out recently, are expecting.
02:00So we're going to be first-time grandparents.
02:02I have to do that grandfather thing, huh?
02:04Yeah.
02:05Yeah.
02:06What's this sweet tea thing?
02:08Back in 2016, we set the Guinness Book World Record for the largest sweet tea.
02:14And it's a little more complicated than you would imagine.
02:17There's a big ratio of ice and tea and sugar.
02:21And we used kayak oars to stir the tea.
02:24And it was a whole big production.
02:26How many gallons was it?
02:282,546.
02:292,546 gallons.
02:31Wow.
02:32Well, congratulations on that, I guess.
02:34That's big where I come from.
02:36Okay.
02:37Hi, Cynthia.
02:38How you doing?
02:39Hi.
02:40Cynthia Joseph, Longwood, Florida, huh?
02:41That's right.
02:42You're an optometrist.
02:43Yes, that's right.
02:44I'm an eye doctor.
02:45I've been practicing for about 11 years now.
02:47Yep.
02:48And the eye is an interesting thing, isn't it?
02:50Oh, yes.
02:51Yeah.
02:52I mean, when I go in and I see, I don't even want to know what goes on back there.
02:54But I'm glad.
02:55Leave it to me.
02:56You're a hiker, walker?
02:57Yes, both.
02:58I've hiked in half of our national parks.
03:00Hope to do the remaining half one day.
03:02Good.
03:03And I love to walk.
03:04All right.
03:05Good to have you all here.
03:06All right.
03:07The next one is worth $2,000.
03:08We'll also determine who'll start the first round.
03:09Food and drink.
03:10The category.
03:11Here we go.
03:12And it's Ashley.
03:13Cobb salad.
03:14Hit it again.
03:15Yep.
03:16So she got them both.
03:17Meaning she has $3,000 and you'll be spinning in just a moment.
03:18Let's check the puzzle first.

05:49Everyone else will get a chance to play, I promise.
05:52We'll be back.
05:56Hey, Pat Sajak here.

08:27Well, that round wasn't worth a whole lot.
08:30$750 will make it $1,000, but look what he picked up.
08:33He had that.
08:34He also has a wild card.
08:35Could get exciting around here.

10:24There they come, pretty much.
10:27I'd like to solve the puzzle.
10:28All right.
10:29All right.
10:30Wish you were here.
10:32That is it.
10:33You got it.
10:36Well, another $1,700, and we're saying to a lovely place called Punta Cana.
10:40Listen to this.
10:41Yeah.

11:51Let's see if she can take some more.
11:59Ashley.
12:00Santa Monica.
12:01Yeah, that's it.
12:03Well, no one's getting the $10,000 tonight,
12:05but let's see who gets the third $2,000 bundle.
12:11Oh, Cynthia.
12:12Santa Cruz.
12:13Santa Cruz.
12:14Yeah, she was laying away.
12:16Laying away two of the three.
12:18So that's nice, you have $4,000.
12:20That's a little better for you.
12:21What are you doing is the category for this next round.
12:24And Cynthia, you got the right to spin it first.

13:15$3,200 you have.
13:17Get those up there and find out what you want to do next.
13:20I'd like to buy the O.
13:22Yes, two Os.
13:24And that's it for vowels.

14:01$6,550.
14:04$6,550.
14:06I'd like to solve.
14:07You would.
14:08Go ahead.
14:09Driving with the top down.
14:12Yeah, give her some money.
14:13There you go.
14:15$6,550 she wins.
14:17She's up to $10,550 for someone who got started late.
14:20That's very nice.
14:21And we're not finished yet.
14:22We have time for another puzzle.
14:24And I can tell you that the category is The Thing.
14:27And Ashley, it's your turn to start.
14:34$600.

14:46Uh-huh.
14:47One N.
14:50I'd like to buy a vowel.
14:52E.
14:54One E.
14:57That time means we're running a little short of time.
14:59Lenny, you have control.
15:00Give it a final spin for us.
15:03$1,000,000.
15:09And $1,700 for every consonant we find.
15:12Again, it's a thing.
15:13A letter from you, please, Lenny.
15:15R.
15:17Four R's.
15:27B.
15:29Cynthia.
15:30M.
15:32One M.
15:39Ashley.
15:40O.
15:42Two O's.
15:50Margin of error.
15:51Yeah, that's it.
15:52You got it.
15:55Hi.
15:56How'd it go?
15:57That's a silly question.
15:58It went very well.
15:59So you had no money showing, but we have $1,000 minimum,
16:01and that makes your maximum for the night,
16:03or it's up to this point.
16:05$23,775.
16:07Don't go away.
16:09Well, not much happened early, but you made up for it.
16:11Congratulations.
16:12Thank you so much.
16:13You end up with $10,550.
16:15Nice seeing you.
16:17Well, it looks exciting early on with $1,000,000.
16:20You couldn't get any traction after that,
16:21but you happened to have $1,000,
16:23and we really appreciate you being here.
16:25Thank you very much, Lenny.
16:26All right, you ready for this?
16:27I'm ready.
16:29We're going to look at some categories.
16:30You'll pick one for the bonus round.
16:32They are people, fun and games, and a thing.
16:36Fun and games.
16:37All right.
16:38We'll have some of those when we come back.
16:45Stay tuned.
16:46Ashley could drive off in a new Ford Mustang GT.
16:49The bonus round is next.
16:52You ready for this?
16:53I'm ready.
16:54Who's with you tonight?
16:55My husband, Daniel.
16:56All right.
16:57Here we all are.
16:58Trying to add that $23,000 plus.
17:00Give it a good spin.
17:11I'm going to ask you to come on this way.
17:13Pull up the first blue mark.
17:16You chose fun and games as your category.
17:19R, S, T, L, N, E.
17:20We'll start you with those letters.
17:23I see a lot of them.
17:28That's a pretty good head start.
17:32All right.
17:33Three more consonants, one more vowel.
17:35P.
17:37G.
17:38Yes.
17:39D.
17:40And a vowel.
17:42O.
17:43Pretty good choices.
17:44We'll see how it all works out for her.
17:46Audience, please, nothing from you.
17:48She has to do this on her own.
17:51Just three letters, but key ones.
17:53Fun and games.
17:54Ten seconds.
17:55Good luck.
17:57Flying in overtime.
17:58I believe that sounds right.
18:02Flying in overtime.
18:03That's right.
18:04That's right.
18:05And look what you won.
18:11Way to go, Ashley.
18:13We're giving you $45,000.
18:22And when you add everything up,
18:24that's $68,775.
18:27All right.
18:38So we had avocado toast as one of our puzzles.
18:40When I was younger, I knew what an avocado was.
18:42I didn't eat a lot of them, and I knew what toast was.
18:45But I never heard of avocado toast.
18:47And now, all of a sudden, it's like our national dish.
18:50It is.
18:51No one can have lunch without ordering avocado.
18:53Where does it come from?
18:54I don't know where it comes from.
18:55You have an avocado tree.
18:56I do.
18:57My son planted a pit when he was 10 years old.
18:59The tree is 20 feet tall now and bearing tons of avocados.
19:03And oddly enough, so is her son.
19:04It's very strange.
19:06We'll see you next time.
19:07Goodbye.
19:10Want more Wheel?
19:11Join the Wheel Watchers Club on wheeloffortune.com.
19:23We'll see you next time.
19:49Our fun on America's Game...
19:50Continues tomorrow night.
