Hollywood’s biggest stars would like to solve the puzzle — with a little help from Ryan Seacrest.
Just in time for summer, new episodes of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune are back on Disney+ and Hulu with more celebrities, competition and cash prizes.
“These exclusive episodes are pulling out all the stops,” Seacrest, 51, exclusively shared with Us Weekly, “giving viewers a star-studded experience as everyone from World Series champion Dodgers players to beloved film and television stars step up to the Wheel.”
On Friday, June 12, viewers were able to start streaming multiple new episodes, including one special with MLB players Freddie Freeman, Kiké Hernández and Miguel Rojas.
“Baseball is what we’ve done our whole lives, so it’s kind of second nature to us out there on the field,” Freeman, 36, shared in a preview clip. “But this is something you don’t do everyday.”
If Freeman seemed nervous, perhaps it was because Hernández, 34, had his eyes on the first baseman.
“The strategy is to beat Freddie and beat Freddie only,” he revealed.
Rojas, 37, however, saw things a little differently when he added, “I think [Freddie] is going to have an advantage against Kiké and I because our first language is not English.”
This summer, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune will welcome celebrity contestants to spin the world’s most famous Wheel and solve puzzles for a chance to win $1 million for the charity of their choice.
Other episodes will include famous faces, including Brian Austin Green, Vanessa Lachey, Jordin Sparks and Nikki Bella.
“To be on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune is a very surreal experience,” actress Hannah Simone shared in a clip. “When Vanna [White] walked up to me, I, like, went out of my body.”
Simone, 45, was able to reunite with her New Girl costars Jake Johnson and Lamorne Morris when she competed for charity.
“We’re competitive,” she warned, “and we’re like brothers and sisters.”
Regardless of who wins and who loses, each contestant has found memories of watching the No. 1 entertainment show on television. To have the opportunity to spin the wheel, solve the puzzle and win money for charity is a dream come true for many contestants.
“My sisters and I would pretend to be sick so we could stay home from school,” Scrubs actress Sarah Chalke confessed. “Obviously we wanted to be Vanna White when we grew up so this is obviously a very exciting day.”
Andrea Savage added, “What is my strategy today? Not to look dumb.”
