It's "Celebrity"...
All: "Wheel...
of...
Fortune!"
And now here are the stars of America's game,
Pat Sajak and Vanna White.
Hi! You again?
[ Chuckles ] And you!
Why, thank you, Jim.
Thanks, everyone, and welcome to "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune."
Tonight, we've got three celebrities,
each playing for -- what was it, Vanna?
Over $1 million for charity.
Think I'd know that by now.
They're going to win a lot of money
and have a lot of fun doing it.
And you at home will have a chance to win, too.
So let's meet tonight's stars.
Please welcome sports broadcaster
and NFL veteran Tiki Barber...
sitcom superstar Lauren Ash...
and comedian Jim Jefferies!
We have work to do. Let's get going. Yes.
Well, Lauren and Jim,
I don't want to frighten you right off the bat,
but you're not only playing against
an NFL veteran, but a "Wheel of Fortune" veteran.
So with that in mind, grab those devices
and let's give away $1,000 in our first "Toss Up."
It's a "Phrase." Here we go.

When you think you know it, ring in,
don't answer till I call on you.
[ Bell chimes ]
Tiki.
Welcome to the big time.
That's it, yeah!
He hasn't lost his touch.
Tiki Barber is back. You were here, what, 20, 21 --
21 years ago. Do you know how you did last time?
I don't remember.
I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing.
I looked it up for you.
You won $22 million.
Whoa!
But I guess with those NFL deals,
that hardly made a dent in anything.
You look great. Look like you should be
playing now, as a matter of fact.
I just can't take the hits anymore, Pat.
Other than that, I can run.
Is there a day when you know that, you say,
"You know, it's time to..."
Yeah, it felt that way for me at the end.
In 2006, I decided it was my last year.
Was that the last season? Yeah, I walked away from it,
and then they won a Super Bowl. Good job, guys.
[ Laughter ] Appreciate you.
But you were the inspiration, I'm sure.
I like to tell myself that.
So you've done a lot of stuff. You've been on Broadway,
and you're doing a radio show now.
Yeah, I'm on WFAN in New York.
There's a lot of passion in New York sports.
And yes, I was on "Kinky Boots" on Broadway.
It was amazing, one of the most inspiring professional things
I've ever done. It is New York.
I mean, New York's a tough town, it's a great town,
but if you're in the sporting world,
you better perform. Yes.
Well, you better perform, and more importantly,
you just got to leave it all out on the field.
And that's how they love you.
If you leave it all out there,
even if you don't -- if you come up short,
you got to give it your all every time.
Well, obviously, you haven't lost your touch.
You're doing great. You look great.
Let's talk about your charity.
Yes, I'm playing for United for ALICE,
which stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.
It's that growing number of families that can't stretch
their dollar to buy food
and clothes and pay the rent.
And through research and analysis,
they inspire a movement to help better the lives of those
ALICE families that are struggling financially.
And you already won $1,000 for them, and lots more to be won.
Thanks, Tiki. Great to see you again.
Thank you, Pat. Great to see you.
Hi, Lauren! Hi!
Lauren Ash is here, and you know
no matter what you do in your career going forward,
your character from "Superstore" will follow you.
And I suspect you're okay with that.
Yeah, you know what? Honestly, playing Dina for six years
was a complete joy.
It was a character that was kind of based on something
that I had created when I was, you know,
a young, fledgling, non-TV actor, comedian,
and so, yeah, it's a joy to get recognized.
What really I'm envious about is your work in animation,
'cause animation sounds great to me.
You don't have to put on a tie,
you don't have to wash your hair,
you can be scraggly, you can --
How bad do you look when you do those?
Bad, Pat. Real bad.
Yeah, sometimes, like, pajamas is actually --
would be a step up from the way
I show up to those voice records, yeah.
Talk about your charity.
I am playing for Best Friends Animal Society.
It is something I'm very passionate about.
I'm a huge animal advocate.
I specifically have been working with them, advocating
for rescuing animals from shelters,
but also specifically rescuing older animals
because they often get overlooked
and they've got a lot of love to give.
You know, we have a minimum amount for charities of $30,000.
That's the worst they'll do, and I suspect they'll do better.
Good to have you here, Lauren. Thanks. I love that. Thank you.
I'll introduce Jim the way a talk show host --
Here's funny man Jim Jefferies!
How you doing, Jim?
I'm good, thanks, Pat. Thanks for having me, mate.
Thanks for doing this. We appreciate that.
You're not from around here, right?
No, I'm from Australia.
Yeah, we have "Wheel of Fortune" in Australia.
Did you watch it growing up?
I did watch it growing up, yeah.
I used to watch it all the time, and then when I was
living in, like, shared accommodation,
like, in university, the rule was you had to watch
"Wheel of Fortune," and whoever didn't win had to do the dishes.
I did a lot of dishes, man.
I did a lot of dishes. By the way, that rule
is still in effect here.
Are you on tour? I'm on tour at the moment.
My tour is called "The Moist Tour."
Well, it's, yeah, the humidity. It's just, yeah, the humidity.
Yeah, I just -- I Googled
"What's the most offensive word in the English language?"
that's not a swear word. It turns out that word upsets
more people than any other word.
So that's why it's called that. I have no jokes
that relate to the word.
You're safe if you come to the show.
You won't see the word except for in a big backdrop behind me.
You're fine.
Would it be okay if we change the subject?
[ Laughter ]
It's good to have you with us, and talk about your charity.
My charity is a charity called Hillsides,
and Hillsides helps out
teenage girls that are in
the foster care system
so they don't have to travel
from house to house,
so they have a stable place to live and be cared for,
nurtured, where they can focus on their education
and not where they're going to live next.
Terrific. Well, I wish you all well.
And if you'll grab those devices again,
we're going to give away $2,000 in our next "Toss Up."
Also determine who will start the first round.
And Vanna, if you would, please.
Here we go.
Again, ring in when you know it.
Wait for me to call on you.
"Song/Artist."
♪♪
[ Bell chimes ]
And Lauren.
"Truth Hurts" by Lizzo.
You got it, yeah!
Nice going. You're on the board with $2,000.
We're going to move on to our first round.
And by the way, whatever you win in this first round,
we're also going to add $5,000 to it for your charity.
So keep that in mind. That may determine
when you want to solve the thing.
"Rhyme Time" is the category,
which means there's a rhyming element somewhere in there.
And Lauren, you won the right to spin it first.
Yep, let's do it. Here we go! Here she goes!
Okay. Let's go.
Okay, this is okay.
That's decent, that's decent.
T.
Not gonna review everything?
Not every one, but this first one for sure.
There's one T.
What do you want to do next, Lauren?
I'd like to buy a vowel.
Alright. An E.
There are two E's, yeah.
I'd like to buy one more.
Yeah. An A.
Think she's seen this show.
But you know what? That's the right strategy.
Just the wrong vowel. Sorry. Jim.
Okay.
Alright, I'll have an S, please.
He'd like an S. There is no S.
I'll have another one, then. Tiki, when other people
call a letter that's incorrect,
you should not laugh.
[ Laughter ]
I was laughing at your response to there not being an S.
Okay, go ahead. It's very competitive.
I'm being supportive.
You didn't do that on the field, did you?
Sometimes.
Oh. Ah!
Yeah!
Too bad, so sad. You know what I love
best on here?
It's the sportsmanship.
Okay, Lauren, back to you.
Yes, let's go.
Here we go.
This is the one. This is it.
Okay.
H.
Yes.
One H.
Come on now, come on now.
I think you're gonna be alright -- $600.
R.
Mm-hmm, three R's.
Lauren, you have $2,400. What do you want to do?
I'd like to buy an I.
There is no I.
Sorry, you're doing the right thing.
Just the vowels aren't there for you.
Jim.
An N.
Yeah, three N's.
Can I buy a vowel, please? Yeah.
I'll have an O.
Yes, you will. Two O's.
You could buy another one if you'd like.
Yeah, I'll buy the other one. Yeah.
Which -- It's a U.
That's it. It's the only vowel left.
You might as well.
We know it's there somewhere.
Now. you have $1,600, and --
I'd like to solve.
Go ahead!
Thunder from down under.
We did it for you! Oh!
Pandering! Yeah, this was rigged.
Pandering! That was rigged for you.
I used to work for them.
I was one of the original dancers before I got fat.
[ Laughter ]
I'll bet you were a graceful sight to behold.
What do you got there? $1,600.
And you know we are adding $5,000
to that, so that round's worth $6,600 to you.
Thanks, Jim, nice job. Alright.
Alright, Jim.
Welcome back to "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune."
Jim, you had a great last round.
You have $6,600 at this point, but everybody has some money.
Lauren has $2,000, Tiki with $1,000.
So everybody's doing just fine.
And look at that wheel, loaded with $1 Million Wedges.
There are four of them out there,
and we'll talk about them when that comes up,
as I hope it will.
Now, remember, in this round,
you get $10,000 added to whatever you win,
so keep that in mind as you're playing.
"What are you doing?" is the category.
It'll all come clear, and take a look at it.
And Jim, it's your turn to start.
Jim Jefferies.
Looking for a good first spin, and its $500.
A T, please.
Yeah, two T's.
S, please.
No, afraid not. Ah, I said please.
Tiki Barber is gonna spin the wheel. What are you doing?
He likes plurality.
Hey, there you are. That's a nice spin.
Hey!
There are lots of steps to this.
The first step is you have to find a letter.
I wanted to grab it. I wanted to grab it.
I know, I know.
Can I have an N?
Well, you can pick it up now because there are two N's.
There you go, looks good.
Tiki, put that right down there.
Now, you can only get one of those,
and if you can manage to win this round,
you get control of it. If you get to the Bonus Round
with that, you could be playing for a million bucks.
You have no money to spend right now,
so go ahead and spin the wheel.
He's a poor millionaire.
Let's go G.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
And there's one G.
Now you have some money if you want to do any buying.
It's up to you. Yes, let's buy an I.
Very clever.
Yes, there are three of them.
Ooh, okay.
Ooh!
Let's do M.
One M, yeah.
We're at $3,500.
Good for you.
Okay, buy a vowel or spin the wheel.
Let's buy an A.
Yes, one A.
He's had a couple of pretty good spins, that's for sure.
And another nice one.
Let's do a D.
Mm-hmm, two D's.
Can I buy a E?
Yes, you can buy two of them.
Still have over $5,000.
Same options, buy a vowel or spin the wheel.
I'm going to... Or solve the puzzle.
...solve the puzzle.
You are?! Go ahead.
Updating my Tinder profile.
Aren't you the clever ex-player?
Wow!
Tiki, listen to this.
$5,150,
and we're gonna add that $10,000 to it,
so he has the lead at this point.
He has $16,150
when we add everything up.
Nice going.
I've never done that, by the way.
Oh, you just had the old profile?
Alright, Jim, thanks a lot.
Everybody get ready, grab those devices.
We're gonna do a "Triple Toss Up."
There's three of those "Toss Ups" in a row.
They all have the same category,
and each one's worth $5,000.
Chance to make a lot of money here.
"Fun & Games" is the category,
and here's the first of our three "Toss Ups."
[ Bell chimes ]
And Lauren?
Pro wrestling.
No. Everybody else now.
[ Bell chimes ]
And it's Jim.
Arm wrestling.
Yeah, that's it.
It was a good guess,
just not the right one.
That was a good guess. Right?
So, Jim gets the first batch
of money there, $5,000.
Let's see what happens with number two.

Excellent wrong.

Well, thank you so much. You're very welcome.
Thank you. So right now,
Tiki's in the lead with over $21,000.
Jim has over $16,000.
Lauren has $2,000, and we have lots more
to give away, and this is fun this year
because in our Prize Puzzle round that's coming up here,
and like always, we're giving away a fabulous vacation,
but tonight, it's to a home viewer.
One of these celebrities will solve
and someone at home will have a chance to win
a fabulous vacation, plus whichever one of you
solves this puzzle will get an additional $20,000
added to your total, so a lot at stake here.
"Food & Drink" is the category.
And Jim, you got that last "Toss Up,"
which gives you the right to spin first.
Thank you.

Alright, put her right down there.
Don't fan everyone, just put it down.
It's not a prop. Alright.

Do I get to keep that?
No, you just take it down under with you.
I'm sorry. No, all that goes.
I'm sorry, you're done. Want that, Pat?
Tiki, you have $21,150.
You have that $1 Million Wedge.
Mm-hmm. You don't have to spin.
If you know it, you can just solve.
And I'll get $20,000 on top of it, right?
Yes, on top of it. So I'm gonna just solve it.
Yeah, it would be an excellent idea.
The best pineapple I've ever had in my mouth.
That is it, yeah.
I thought the last word was "month."
So, let me -- so let me say this.
Someone at home also won something,
and that is a big trip somewhere,
and the trip is usually based on the puzzle in a way.
Do you have any idea what state they might be going to?
Pineapple? Yeah.
I don't know the pineapple state.
Could it be Hawaii?

Really stuffed that up, didn't I, Pat?
I'll get to you in a moment.
I could've done a lot better.

Thank you, yes.
And you have $2,000 already
for Best Friends Animal Society.
Which is great. And we'll bring Tiki
on the bonus round. Yes, absolutely.
Alright, my friend.
So, tell 'em what happened.
You were a little confused by the last word.
Thought the last word was month,
but then I remembered I'd already gotten rid of the N.
Yeah. I'm a moron, Pat.

That's a strong word.
There's a certain amount of accuracy to it,
but it's a strong word.
No, you did just fine.
You won $16,600 for Hillsides, man.
Are you kidding? I should've bailed out at the million.
Would've been the good play.
I know. Alright.
So here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna put Tiki to work in the Bonus Round

You're gonna have to pick a category

Yes, so I have a true-crime podcast.
It's called "True Crime & Cocktails."
It's my cousin, best friend, and I
started it during the pandemic as something fun to do,
and it's kind of taken on a life of its own.
But obviously, I mean, you could've chosen any subject,
so obviously this interests you.
I think it's because I'm so averse to crime
that that's why I have a fascination with it.
I'm somebody who I can't lie, I can't steal, I just --
Aren't there a lot of dumb criminals?
There are, and what I've learned through doing this show
is that I feel like I could pull off the perfect murder.
Not that I ever would!
Oh, wow! Jim you --
Tiki's moving away.
Jim, you had a really interesting first half,
and you made it very exciting there at the end.
You had a shot at that million,
but, you know, you may do it this time.
If I could've spun more, I would've.
[ Laughter ]
You're just gonna spin till you're done.
Yeah, keep goin'. So, are there some
odd Australian idioms that I might not understand?
Um, uh, if "fair dinkum" came up there,
I reckon I'd be the only bloke who could solve.
Um... [ Laughs ]
...the word "struth."

You lost me at dinkum.
"You lost me at dinkum"?
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I didn't understand any of that.
Anyway, good luck. Thanks, mate.
Tiki, do you think being here the first time helped you out?
'Cause you had a great first half.
It gave me a little bit of
knowledge of what to expect. Yeah.
So I'm not nervous. These guys are nervous.
You can see it.
Right? Sweatin', sweaty palms.
They also haven't had 300-pound guys

Alright. Alright, grease the bearings
on the wheel, it's Jim's turn.
I'll have another vowel. Ooh, look at that.
I'll have an I.
Yeah, he's getting cocky now.
Alright, Jim, you have $2,350
and there are no more vowels left,
so you're gonna spin or solve, and of course you're gonna...
Alright. Just know that I already know it.
Just know that I know it. Just know that.
I know it, too, but there's letters out there.
Oh, well, hope you don't lose it all.
[ Laughs ]
Wow. Need to make the money.
Oh, no. Oh, no.
I'll have a V.
Yeah, there's a V.
Just a reminder, we are gonna add
$5,000 to whatever you win.
I'll be honest with you, I don't know the first word.
Of course, yep.
So you were lying?
No, I know the last one.
I'm all good.
Alright. I'll have an L.
Mm-hmm, two L's.
This should do it.
You can do it.
Alright. Aw.
I'd like to solve.
[ Laughter ]
Go ahead.
Larry David and Goliath.
Yeah, there you go.
So, wow.
$4,350.
I told you we were gonna add $5,000 to that,
so good first round for you.
$9,350.
Sometimes you need to quit spinning.
Worked out very well.
Vanna, what do you got there?
Hey, "Wheel" watchers, another chance
to win $10,000 is coming up.
So stay tuned for the reveal of our second Giveaway Puzzle
and your chance to win.
Now let's get back to the game.
Pat.
Thanks, Vanna. Look at that wheel.
$1 Million Wedges have miraculously appeared,
four of them. In our last half-hour,
Tiki took one of them to the Bonus Round,
came very close to actually landing on one
when he solved the puzzle.
So we have another shot at it here.
Also, $10,000 will be added to whatever you get in this round.
Keep that in mind.
And "Phrase" is the category.
There is the puzzle.
And Jim will be the first spinner.
His turn to spin.
T.
Yes, another good start.
There are five T's up there, James.
That's $2,500.
I'll buy a vowel, please. Mm-hmm.
A.
Like the letter A.
The first one.
[ Laughs ]
I'm not deaf.
[ Chuckles ]
But I am confused.
N.
Yeah, on he goes. Two N's.
I'll buy another vowel, please.
Mm-hmm. I'll have an E.
We can do that, as well.
A whole bunch of those, too.
We are filling them in in a hurry.
Jim, you have $3,400. What do you want to do next?
Well, well, well.
Whoo-hoo!
I'll have an R.
What, are you spring loaded?
What are you doing?
Yeah, there's an R! Pick up that $1 Million Wedge!
There you go.
Put that right down there.
No, not down there. In here, in here.
That's where I lose it. Put it anywhere you want.
And now tell us what you want to do next.
Whoa. Oh!
I'll have a G.
One G.
Now, if you land on another one, we're not gonna give you
another $1 million.
That's worth $1,000, though, for every letter.
Don't be so cheap, Pat.
Give me another one.
Call a letter and I'll give you 1,000 bucks
if it's up there.
W.
Yeah, you'll get $3,000
because there are three of them.
You have $7,050
and that $1 Million Wedge.
I'll buy a vowel. Yeah.
I.
Yes, one I.
I'll buy a vowel. Mm-hmm.
O.
Yes, two -- two -- two O's.
[ Laughs ] Still not -- Still not --
No, no.
You can buy another one if you want.
[ Groans ]
I'll buy a U. [ Laughs ]
Alright, there are no more vowels,
so spin it or solve it. Yeah, yeah, I'm alright.
Yeah, I know that.
Okay. Don't do it.
Oh. Yes?
Do you know it? No?
I sort of know it.
[ Laughter ]
But I reckon there's more money to be made.
Oh, Jim.
Oh, Jim!
Icarus!
No! No!
Oh!
Ah! Oh!
Alright. Again --
I'm actually rooting for you, man.
Still be worth $1,000.
Call a letter.
H.
[ Chuckling ] Yes.
Two H's.
Just for the record, I am totally exhausted.
I'd like to solve, please. Okay.
What are they tweeting about me now?
Yeah, that's it.
Oh, me!
Probably that I'm a legend.
Wow! First of all, hold up that --
hold up that million dollars.
I like the way you look with that.
If you can hang on to that now and get to the bonus round
without losing that along the way, he'll be playing for that.
So, $8,300 that round.
We're gonna add that $10,000,
meaning you won $18,300 for Hillsides.
Impressive.
He's up to $27,650,
Having a grand ol' time here on "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune."
We're about to do a "Triple Toss Up,"
hence those things you have in your hands.
"Person" is the category for all three of these,
each one worth $5,000.
Here is the first.
♪♪
[ Bell chimes ]
Tiki Barber.
Debra Winger?
No.
Aw! [ Bell chimes ]
Lauren. Opera singer.
Yeah, that's it. Yeah.
You did a little rhyme
there, too.
Debra Winger was good, though.
I was like, "Why would she be on this?"
She's obviously an opera singer.
The Debra Winger Festival will continue in a moment.
Let get back to our
second "Toss Up."
♪♪
[ Bell chimes ]
And it's Tiki.
Concert violinist.
Yeah, there you go.
There's another $5,000 up for grabs.
Let's see what happens. Here's number three.
"Person."
♪♪
[ Bell chimes ]
It's Lauren.
Music impressionist?
[ Laughs ]
Surprisingly, no.
Everybody else now, when you know it.
Ah. [ Bell chimes ]
Jim. Elvis impersonator.
There you go!
So everybody got a piece of the action.
You all got $5,000.
See Jim, the leader in this half of the show with $32,000+.
Lauren is $8,000, Tiki $5,000.
So we have a lead to overcome here, guys.
Yeah. But remember, $20,000
will be added to the score of whoever wins this game.
So here we go.
"Movie Quote" is the category.
Keep that in mind as you play.
And Jim, you got that "Toss Up." You get to start.
Do it!
T.
Yes, three T's.
[ Bell dings ]
Hey, Jim, that sound means time actually
is running a little short, so you have control of the wheel.
We're gonna ask you to give it a final spin for us.
This will determine the dollar amount
for the consonants in our speed-up round.
We'll add $1,000 to whatever you land on,
so that'll be...
$1,700 for every one you find.
Again, you're just gonna be calling letters
from this point out.
"Movie quote" is the category.
Jim, what letter would you like?
L.
One L.
And we'll give you three seconds to fiddle with that.
Uh...pass.
[ Laughs ] Tiki.
Debra Winger.
[ Laughter ] Tiki.
N.
One N.
You can also call vowels in this round.
You get no money for them, but they can be helpful.
Three seconds.
I...
I don't know. Yeah.
Lauren, a letter. H.
Two H's.
I...bloat in the night.
[ Buzzer ]
First of all, don't bring your personal problems...
I'm sorry. It's the truth.
Jim, it's your turn.
Can I have an I?
Yeah, again, no money for the vowel,
but they can be important.
And there are three of them.
And when Vanna moves out of there,
you'll have three seconds.
"Movie quote."
A glith in the --
[ Buzzer ] Oh, "glith's" not a word?
It is now. Tiki.
A letter.
M.
Yeah, one M.
A glitch in the machine?
A glitch in the making?
[ Buzzer ] Lauren.
Can I just solve it? You might want to
call a letter and get some money.
Oh, yes.
I will take an R.
There's one R.
Yes. Oh!
Alright, now what do we have?
A glitch in the matrix.
Yay!
So, you won $5,100,
and we will add $20,000 to that.
And just by about 1,000 bucks,
you are the big winner -- less than $1,000 --
Well done. ...in this half of the show.
That $25,000 gets you up to $33,100.
Means you're gonna go to the bonus round.
Don't go away. I have some other business here.
Let's see, Tiki, you had a great, great first half.
Little quieter in the second half,
but that adds $5,000 to the total.
You had $116,000 in the first half.
$121,150
for United for ALICE.
Great to see you again. Likewise, Pat.
Alright, talk to you soon.
Well, she overtook you, my friend.
Let's see, nothing that round.
In the first half of the show, though,
you had a really nice time.
$16,600.
And we add everything up for you,
and you're taking $49,250 for Hillsides.
Appreciate it, mate. It was great fun.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
We haven't settled on your total yet
because it's only a subtotal,
because you're gonna win in the bonus round, right?
Alright, pick a category --
"Thing," "Person,"
"Food & Drink."
"Person."
Alright, we'll check with Lauren Ash,
see how she does in our Bonus Round coming up.
Out of nowhere!
A stunning come-from-behind victory.
♪♪
Well, Lauren, here we are in Bonus Land.
You're having a terrific night so far.
We would like you to get some more
for Best Friends Animal Society.
Are you ready to spin this wheel?
I'm so ready. There are four $100,000
envelopes out there and lots of other cash.
So go ahead and give it a spin, come on.
Let's do it.
We have learned she watches the show,
and we've learned she's a competitor.
Yeah, I think I got this by sheer will
at this point, Pat.
Really willed this into existence.
Alright, where are we here?
The ol' P in "Spin."
I'll take this if you would, please move down there
to that second blue mark.
Ah, what a pro. She hit it just like that.
Alright, the category is "Person."
Remember, not proper name, but "Person" is the category.
Lauren: Thank you.
There you go.
Now, you're going to have to get to work here.
We need three more consonants and one more vowel.
M.
Okay.
D.
Yes.
P.
And a vowel.
A.
Well, let's see what we get out of this.
Audience, ask you to be very --
Oh, boy. Wow.
You know what? You can do this.
You're a good player. Think about it.
There's a used letter board maybe can help you,
and you do have 10 seconds. Try to talk it out.
Maybe the right thing will spill out.
Person. Good luck.
Wood nester.
Bead -- Bead needler.
Newscaster.
Dead -- Dead --
Food -- Food critic.
Food -- Food...
[ Buzzer ]
Good neighbor.
[ Laughs ]
Ah. We couldn't do that.
That would have been awfully nice.
You know what? You won $33,100
for Best Friends Animal Society,
and you were tons of fun.
Thank you, Lauren, very much for being here.
Thanks to everyone. Let's go over and see the gang.
Yes!
Nice work, everybody. Bead needler?
-I had no idea. -Gather 'round.
And we will see you next time for more fun on
"Celebrity Wheel of Fortune."
Bye! There they are!
