It's "Celebrity"...
All: "Wheel!
Of!
Fortune"!
And now, here are the stars of America's game,
Pat Sajak and Vanna White.
Look at you. You're wearing black and white.
Black and white. So am I.
We are going for big money again tonight,
along with an extra dash of comedy.
That's right. Three top comedians
are here to play for two chances
at $1 million for their favorite charities,
and to give you a chance to win at home.
So please welcome TV host and comedian Nikki Glaser...
[ Cheers and applause ]
...podcast host and comedian Tig Notaro...
...and actor and screenwriter Thomas Lennon.
So I'm going to go over there and say hello to everybody.
Okay. Have a good show.
There they are, looking funny already.
Grab those devices. We're going to give away some money,
and then we'll chat a bit and find out
what the heck they're doing here.
$1,000 is what we'll give away here.
"Phrase" is the category.
Be sure that you know it when you ring in,
and wait until I call on you, okay?
♪♪
[ Bell chimes ]
Nikki. This ain't my first rodeo.
That's it. Yeah.
[ Laughs ] Yeah.
You see how easy this game is?
Nikki Glaser, are you excited?
I'm so excited. Are you nervous?
Not anymore, that just -- that just quelled my fears.
Got you. So you're on tour with --
Yeah. I do stand-up on tour all the time.
So, see, you talk about being nervous,
but if I were in a room full of people who said,
"Okay, wise guy, make me laugh..." Right.
...that would make me nervous.
You know, this makes me nervous
because this is my first time doing this,
and I'm not always great at game shows.
Well, we'll find out. Yeah.
You're busy with HBO?
Yeah. I want to just hear you say
the name of the show, though.
No, I'm not going to say the name of the show.
Okay. Well, the show is --
See, if I can't even say the name of the show --
[ Laughs ] You want to buy a vowel for this one?
It's "FBOY Island," yes,
is the name of the show that I host.
And you had a recent special on HBO called?
Called "Good Clean Filth."
There you go. Yes.
So you have to take care of all the titles for me.
Even at my age, I'm still very shy.
Yeah, I get it. Talk about your charity.
Oh, I'm playing for the Ocean Conservancy.
Oh, good. Yeah.
Well, you know, the oceans aren't doing well right now,
if you've ever -- Been in them.
Yeah. They look good from afar,
but up close, you know, it's tragic in there.
So this charity is doing what they can
to salvage what we still have.
And I think it's just the most important thing.
Anyway, I'm glad you're here.
It's going to be great, and you already won $1,000.
I know. It's so exciting. You could win more.
Thanks, Pat. Thanks, Nikki, very much.
Hi, Tig, how you doing?
I'm doing well. How are you? Tig Notaro is here.
And you are quiet and yet somehow
at the same time low key.
It's amazing how you manage to do both of those things.
Now if you win, can we expect a flurry of excitement?
No.
[ Laughter ]
Do you want to talk about "The Morning Show"?
Yeah. I'm on "The Morning Show" this season,
and I'm very, very excited.
I can see that. Yeah. Listen, this is --
Contagious. Yeah.
Is it mourning, M-O-U-R-N-I-N-G?
When I joined it, it became the show in mourning.
Pat: Yeah. [ Laughs ]
Tig, talk about your charity.
I would love to, Pat.
It's World Resources Institute,
a global nonprofit that works with leaders in government,
business, and civilians to research, design,
and carry out practical solutions
that simultaneously improve people's lives
and ensure nature can thrive, Pat.
And that's just something, you know,
off the top of my head.
Yeah. Yeah.
And, Pat, here's the thing. Yes, Tig?
The environment is the single most important thing,
in my opinion, because if we don't take care of that,
politics don't matter, women's rights don't matter,
nothing matters if the planet goes away.
And you weren't reading that.
No, I'm just telling you -- Not that you were reading --
friend to friend -- Thank you.
celebrity to celebrity. Thank you. Thank you.
I was thinking more celebrity to icon, but that's --
[ Laughs ] Yes.
You don't have to call me an icon.
[ Laughter ]
Thanks, Tig. Good to have you here.
You bet, Pat. Do you care to follow this?
I do not. No. Thomas Lennon, "Reno 911."
Thank you.
Lieutenant Dangle!
There's a new iteration of this show, yeah?
There are new episodes called "Reno 911 Defunded" on Roku.
And there's also, for some reason,
a "Reno 911" holiday special --
Nothing says Christmas like "911," yeah --
Me in the shorts. Exactly.
Now, in addition to your acting
and comedic skills, you're a screenwriter.
And talk -- mention --
brag about some of the things you've written.
Oh, geez. I don't want to brag, Pat. Go ahead.
That would be -- okay, fine.
I wrote a picture called "Night at the Museum,"
was a picture that I wrote. Yeah.
I've also written some of the worst films you've ever seen.
[ Laughter ]
I don't know how serious you're being about that, but --
I'm -- [ Laughs ]
So when you have a script that you go,
"Maybe I shouldn't I put my name on this?"
Yes. No matter how bad it is, I still leave my name on it,
because that's how you get the royalties, guys.
That's important.
Talk about your charity, Thomas.
I am playing for Dogs Without Borders,
which is an animal rescue in Los Angeles,
and it's also where my little Chihuahua, Pedro,
was brought to me from. So nice people who rescue dogs.
Alright. Yeah. Do you all understand this game?
No. No? Alright.
This should be exciting then.
Get ready, we'll do another toss-up.
Grab those devices and we'll play for $2,000.
Also determine who will... Have these been cleaned?
...spin -- beg your pardon? Have these been cleaned?
Yes, they have.
"What Are You Wearing?" is the category.
Here we go. I've lost my train of thought.
♪♪
"What Are You Wearing?"
♪♪
[ Bell chimes ] Thomas?
Pajama bottoms. Yeah. There you go.
Nice.
Alright.
Put them down there, where they'll be cleaned again.
Are you just telling us what you're wearing?
Also true. You can't see them.
Can we still guess after someone gets it?
Pat: I'm sorry? Can we still guess after someone gets it?
You can, but you don't win it.
But why? Thank you.
$5,000 is going to be added to whatever you win
in this next round, so keep that in mind.
"Song Lyrics," that is the category, okay?
And there is it. Thomas, you won the right to spin first.
Here we go.
Oh, very good.
Is there a T, please, Ms. White?
Well, that's an excellent start.
There are three of them. And a nice logical start.
It's a common letter.
Now, you can buy a vowel, or you can spin the wheel again.
May I buy an E? Yes.
First time you've ever bought a vowel in your life?
It is. In a professional setting.
[ Laughter ]
You bought them on the street?
Of course, usually on the street.
Yes!
Is there an R?
There are two R's, yeah.
Well, you're up over $3,000.
May I buy an A, please?
Yeah. You're doing very well. Three A's.
You look like a regular player here.
A Y.
Actually three of them, which is rather unusual for us.
So you're over $5,000, you can buy another vowel,
you can spin the wheel, you can try to solve the puzzle.
I will solve. Go ahead.
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
Says Kelis. Yes, you got it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And it does.
You're reacting just the way Tig would've reacted
if she won that round.
So [laughs] $5,300 that round,
and remember, we're going to add $5,000 to it.
So that was a good round for you.
$10,300 for Dogs Without Borders.
Nice start for them. And let's see what Vanna's up to.
Thanks, Pat. Hey, "Wheel" watchers.
Tonight, you have two chances to win $10,000.
Coming up, we'll reveal our first Giveaway Puzzle,
so don't go away, please.
[ Applause ]
Welcome back to "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune."
Thomas Lennon off to a good start.
He has over $12,000 already for his charity.
Nikki Glaser picked up 1,000 bucks.
Tig Notaro is going to get started here any moment,
I feel it. Absolutely.
[ Laughter ]
You may notice, if you pay attention here,
that there are four $1 Million Wedges on the wheel.
Should you land on one, we'll explain what happens after that.
Also a reminder that $10,000 will be added
to whatever you win in this next round.
"Before & After" is the category.
I think it's your turn, Nikki, to start.
Ooh, yay. Okay. Cool.
Go Nikki!
Good follow through.
And look at that already. [ Cheers ]
Now, step number one is you need to find a letter
that's in the puzzle.
Oh, no. There's always a catch.
There's got to be a T.
Two T's. Now, you may pick that up.
Thomas: Wow. Okay.
There you go. Model it for America.
I've always wanted to do this.
And now you put it right down there.
And then I put it here. Yep.
And you can't spend any of that. It's mythical money right now.
Right. Right. But we ask you to spin the wheel. Go ahead.
It's a good sign. Okay. Yep.
Okay.
Now, you can only pick up one of those,
so should you land on another one,
that would just be $1,000. Thank God it didn't.
Okay. H.
There are two H's.
So you have a little money to spend
if you're in a vowel-buying mood. I do.
I do, but I'm not.
Okay. Lets spin again.
Sure. Go ahead.
So again, that's just $1,000 now.
That's just $1,000? Okay. Yep.
But it really wants me to have that million...
Apparently. ...if you're catching its drift.
Okay. I am going to --
a G.
That is a good pick.
There are three of them -- $3,000 worth of G's.
I'll buy a vowel. I'll buy an I, please.
Well, that makes good sense. Right?
Four I's.
Remember, it's a "Before & After,"
and it's still your turn, Nikki.
I'm going to spin. Alright.
An N, please.
Yeah. Yeah. There are three N's,
I believe that's what I heard.
An N, yeah.
Still not ready to solve.
It's okay. Okay.
Don't worry about that. Just take it word by word.
I know. Okay. I'm going to spin again.
I really like spinning this thing.
It's good. It's like a workout.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
[ Laughter ]
Okay. An S.
No. [ Buzzer ]
Sorry, there's no S.
Alright. Tig, it's your turn.
Now, can I just solve it, or --
Well, you've spun, you might as well get some money.
If you think you know, call a letter that's in there,
even if -- A W, please.
Yeah, there is a W. So you got that $700.
And if you -- you're ready to solve this thing?
Yes. Then do it. Yeah.
Wedding night of the living dead.
Look at that. Yeah. Nikki: Wow, Tig!
Look at that.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And we're all excited, you can tell.
Yes! Yeah, yeah!
Yes!
Wow.
I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from.
[ Laughs ] I don't either.
Now, don't forget, we're adding $10,000.
So that round was worth $10,700 to you. Yes!
Nikki: Nice!
[ Applause ]
We're going to get a chair for her to sit in
for a little while, to recover from that outburst.
Meanwhile, someone at home can also win $10,000,
ain't that right, Jim?
That is absolutely correct, Pat Sajak.
Hey, "Wheel" watchers! Here's tonight's first

We carpooled here.
Good. It's handy.

Plus, whoever solves this puzzle will receive an additional
$20,000 for your charity, so a lot at stake here.
"What Are You Doing?" is the category.
We'll figure it out as we go.
And Nikki, you got that last "Toss Up",
you get to spin first. Oh, great.
Nikki Glaser. Nikki!
She likes to be near those millions.
[ Cheers ] Yes! Here we go again.
Not yet, not yet, you got to call the letter first.
Oh, yeah. Okay. T, please.
There are T's.
The last time you picked it up you didn't end up
solving the puzzle, so you didn't control it.
I know, I know. That's a part of this, right?
Okay, I'll spin it again, please.
[ Contestants cheering ]
An H, please.
Yeah, one H.
Only one? Okay.

Well, we got all caught up in Nikki Glaser's $49,100
first half of the show tonight for Ocean Conservancy
that we almost neglected this little deal here.
The $1 Million. Yeah. Look at this thing.
Yeah, you look great with it. Thank you.
But I'm going to take it off your hands.
No. Yes.
Okay. Because you have things to do.
Oh, I have to spin -- Now, here's what happens.
We have four $100,000 envelopes out there.
We took one away and replaced it with the million.

Alright. Now, you're not going to get it with that.
No. So, obviously, you need some help.
Let's have three more consonants and one more vowel.
Okay. I'll do...
Sorry, I should've thought of this before.
[ Laughs ] It's alright.
C worked for me before. Let's do a C, a G.
[ Laughs ] You know what I'm feeling?
I'm feeling a D. Are you? Okay.
Yeah. That's a good feeling.
Well, that didn't sound good. But yes.
I wasn't trying to be dirty, I swear.
[ Laughing ] As long as it has a happy ending.
Could you give us a vowel now?
An A. Okay.
"Show Biz" is the category. Maybe that'll help you out.
Now, that's all you get to work with.
You have 10 seconds. Talk it out.
Maybe the right thing will pop in. Good luck.
Hilarious monologue. Yeah, that might do it.
Yes! Yes!
Look at that. Acting like you don't know it.
Why is that "Show Biz"?
But I knew it.
Where would you do a monologue --
Well, yeah, that's what I do for a living.
I guess it is show biz. Exactly.
And by the way, you did not win the $1 million.
You're going to have to settle for $100,000.
Oh, my gosh! Yes!
We fixed the oceans! [ Laughs ]
Everything's okay now.
Wow.
I'm going to head over here and show...
Okay. You go over there.

Tig Notaro, $15,700 for World Resources Institute.
And Nikki Glaser, $149,100 for Ocean Conservancy.

It was really very impressive.
Thank you. For celebrities.
Very good solves there.

[ Bell chimes ] Nikki.
She's a maniac.
Yeah. Wow.
Off to a nice start.
You had a great first half. Congratulations, again, on that.
Nikki: Thank you. You got a podcast
called... I do a podcast four days a week,
"The Nikki Glaser Podcast."
Is it thematic? Do you --
No, it's very personal.
Some days I'm just...
if I'm not having a good day, you're going to hear about it.
I'm very honest, and it's funny, but it's fun and it's real.
Good luck in the second half. Thank you.
And, Tig, again, you did very well.
And I detected you were loosening up there.
I saw some excitement in your eyes there earlier.
I was. I was very excited. Thank you for noticing that.
But I also have a podcast. You do?
I don't know what you were going to talk to me about,
but I thought if we're talking podcasts...
No, I -- Podcasts are good. I got two.
It was either that or I was going to ask about your shirt,
so a podcast would be much better.
Yeah. Tell us about your podcast.
Well, I have one podcast called "Don't Ask Tig,"
and it's an advice podcast that I have celebrities on
to advise people to the best of our ability,
and then sometimes it goes off the rails, which --
Do you try to give good advice?
I really try, Pat, just like I'm doing here today.
And then I have another podcast --
Another podcast?
Look, I'm alive in the world, it's what people do.
I have a podcast called, "Tig and Cheryl: True Story,"
and we talk about a new documentary every week.
And again, we try to talk about the documentary,
and it goes off the rails.
Do you by chance have a third podcast?
I would love to have you on some time. Thank you.
[ Laughter ]
Thank you, Tig. Thanks, Pat.
Thomas, if this is true,
you have some connection in the past to me.
Thomas: I do, as a matter of fact.
So you're sort of a legend in my family.
I'd like to think so. Yes.
My grandmother was born in Ireland in 1907.
Oh, wow. And she had 10 kids
in Chicago with her family, and then later in her life,
I think she basically thought of you as, like, her boyfriend.
Thomas, we did go out several times.
Oh, now you tell me.
No, no, no, but that's very sweet.
She got to meet you at Navy Pier.
She said, "Would it be alright if I gave you a hug?"
And you said, "You'd better,"
and she never stopped talking about it.
Well, that's very sweet. You don't happen to have
a photographic remembrance of that moment, do you?
I have a photo, and I brought it
because I wanted you to have a copy of it.
That's very nice. I'm very flattered.
And I'm in your will now, since you're my grandfather,
I guess, right? Yeah. Terrific. Terrific.
You'll get the corkscrew. That's fantastic.
Alright. Let's do another "Toss Up" here.
Grab those devices, please. Alright.

"Phrase" is the category this time.
And, Thomas, you won the right to spin it first.
Alright. Here we go.

Well, there are a lot of letters up there

Maybe another? Maybe another?
Another?
Alright. What do you want to do next?
May I please buy an E?
Let's see. There are a whole bunch of E's.
I won't even bother counting them.
Just talk among yourselves while they're coming up.
Holy cow. And once Vanna gets all those up there,
you'll be down to $2,150.

Yes. Three R's.
$5,000 you have. What next?

I'm not going to be humiliated on national television.
Pat: It's too late for that. Tig, listen to this.

Could I have a G?
Mm-hmm.
Could I have a D?
Yes.
Could I have an M?
And now we need a vowel.
And an A.
Well, let's see. You get a couple of letters,

You can do it. "What are you doing?" Yes.
