- I'm Michael Mclntyre, and welcome to "The Wheel."
Tonight our celebrity experts on "The Wheel"
are actress Amber Riley on Divas,
singer Carnie Wilson on Classic TV,
political analyst Steve Kornacki on Horse Racing,
music legend Sheila E. on Percussion,
Cake boss Buddy Valastro on Cakes,
and actor Jaime Camil on Mexico.
Welcome, tonight's celebrity experts.
Sheila E. on percussion.
- Hey.
- And then you do a bit, don't you?
- I do... [trills tongue]
And then throw the stick and then catch it behind
and then kick it and go, "Yes."
[cheers and applause]
- Whoo. - That's amazing.
- Yeah. - I'm feeling very confident
in your expertise on percussion
as I am on your expertise, Buddy, on cakes.
- I know a thing or two about a couple of cakes, you know?
- I would love to eat cake.
- I'd love to give you one. - I love cake like most people.
I resist it all the time.
- You gotta do what you gotta do.
- I always know I've eaten too much
when I come out, and sometimes I go,
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen,"
and this... [laughter]
- And the tummy is saying hello.
[laughter]
- Okay, so we are here to help our contestants win big money.
- Yes.
- Underneath us are three contestants
waiting for their opportunity to take control of the wheel.
Let me introduce them to you.
She's a medical student from Sicklerville, New Jersey.
Please welcome Alice.
She's a mechanical engineer from Redondo Beach, California.
It's Layne.
He's a tactical strength
and conditioning coach from Estell Manor, New Jersey.
It's John.
So the contestant wheel is completely random.
It's a one in three. Who's it gonna be?
Spin the contestant wheel.
[upbeat music]
* *
- Yay.
- It's Layne. - Yes.
- Lovely Layne. You look beautiful.
- Well, thank you. - Tell us about yourself.
- I'm a mechanical engineer.
Essentially, I send stuff up to space.
- What are you sending up to space?
- I can't tell you that.
- Oh, is it William Shatner?
[laughter]
If you were to win big money tonight,
which is what we all hope
and we're all going to try to help you do,
what would you do with that money, Layne?
- Well, my beautiful wife and I,
we just celebrated our two-year wedding anniversary.
- All right. - Nice.
- Yay. - Thank you. Thank you.
So the--the money would be amazing for us
to just start a family. We really wanna just bring kids
into the world and be amazing moms.
- And also, once you've got a family,
money in the bank's gonna help. - Yeah.
- We hope we can get you that wonderful stuff.
- Thank you. - Yes.
- Thank you. - Yeah.
- In order to do that you need
to clear this wheel of all the categories
that our experts have brought with them tonight.
So what are you feeling most confident about from these six?
- I'm being drawn to cakes.
- I know the feeling, Layne.
- Yeah, I can definitely throw down on a mean cake.
- All right, hey.
- How fun. So our expert is the amazing chef Buddy Valastro,
and he is in gold.
- Who wants to eat some cake? - Everybody.
So this means if the wheel lands on him
it's worth $10,000 for the bank.
If you land anywhere else, it's worth $5,000 in the bank.
Now, who would you like to shut down,
meaning if you land on them,
you're immediately off the wheel?
Who do you think is not a fan of cakes here?
- Shut down maybe Steve.
- Steve. - You know, he seems
pretty fit and healthy; maybe he avoids cake.
So yeah, I'm gonna shut down Steve.
- Okay. Well, in that swoop
you've just insulted the rest of the wheel.
- Exactly. - Never. Never.
- What a wonderful way to endear yourself.
So here's one person who looks remotely fit and healthy.
It's the now very smug Steve.
You have been shut down on the subject of cakes.
You do not want to land there, because you will be
off the wheel.
Now, spin the wheel.
- Come on.
[upbeat music]
Okay. Over here.
- Come on. Where are we gonna land?
- Stop. Stop.
- Come on. I want Buddy.
- Keep going, Steve. Keep going.
- No, no, no. - Keep going.
- Keep going. It's all right. We're safe.
It's gonna be Carnie or Jaime.
Oh! - Oh, Jaime.
- Jaime. - Okay, how's it going?
- Fan of cakes? - Sure.
- Yeah. I mean, who isn't? Come on, to a certain degree.
- No, I am. I am. I just don't know nothing--
nothing technical about them.
- You're not a baker? - No, no.
- Okay, more of an eater than a baker, but...
- Hey, that's--that's better than nothing, yeah.
- Let's see what the question is.
It's for $5,000 in the bank.
Let's have a look at the question.
- All right.
Does not include.
Celebrities, lock in your answers.
Poker face, Buddy. What are you two thinking?
Have a chat.
- I've definitely had tres leches cake before.
- Yeah. Yes. - I know it's pretty sweet,
so that's why I'm leaning towards buttermilk.
I've accidentally--I thought buttermilk was real milk
when I was younger, and I accidentally drank it,
and I thought it was spoil--it was so bad.
It tastes nasty.
- Thank you. Thank you. I needed to know that.
Thank you very much. Okay.
- Yeah. I think I'm gonna lock in buttermilk.
- Okay. Brilliant.
- You're gonna--wait, lock which one?
- Buttermilk.
- I think it has sweetened condensed milk.
- We're looking for something that it doesn't have.
- Oh, I'm sorry, that he doesn't have.
Okay, so yes, buttermilk. You're right. As you can see,
I pay a lot of attention to the rules of the game.
I know exactly what we're doing, so yes.
- Okay, so you are going to lock in?
- I'm gonna lock in buttermilk.
- We're gonna lock in buttermilk.
Now, we tried very hard, Jaime, to get you
to focus on the word "not" by capitalizing it...
- Oh. - But it was a good chat.
You got to a place that you feel is the right place.
- Yeah, fingers crossed.
- Now, we're gonna find out, are you still on this wheel?
Is it buttermilk?
[tense music]
* *
- Yay! - Yes! Yes!
- It is. - Yes.
- Very good, you two. - Whoo!
- What a wonderful start.
Cakes are off the wheel.
Well done, and there is now $5,000 in the bank.
[cheers and applause]
- Okay, cool.
- What are you gonna go for next?
- Yeah, I'm gonna choose Divas, Ms. Amber.
- Very, very exciting.
You wouldn't describe yourself as a diva, would you, Amber?
- I mean, divas get a really bad rep,
but there's nothing wrong with being a diva.
- No, most divas say that.
[laughter]
And she's been demanding this all day,
because she's such a diva,
and finally, she gets her wish; she's in gold.
- Yes.
- So who would you like to shut down?
Who do you think is not to diva,
not interested in divas?
- I think I'm gonna shut down Buddy.
- On the subjects of divas, you have been shut down.
I'm gonna go round right here. Spin the wheel!
[upbeat music]
- Right here. Right here. - Come on, guys.
* *
- Gallop like a gazelle.
* *
- No.
- Oh, for goodness--stop.
- Next time. Next time around.
- Oh. - Okay.
- Ohh...
Oh. - Okay.
- No. - Ohh.
- Okay, let's do it, Steve.
- It's very unfortunate.
- Steve has just opened with the words,
this is really unfortunate.
The question on divas,
which you're literally on your own for is...
It's a fun question.
Steve's dying to say, "Who's Madonna?"
[laughter]
- You do know who Madonna is, right?
- Yes. No, she's an entertainer
of some sort. So we've got that.
- Perfect, yes. I know she's had Super Bowl halftime shows.
I don't know how many husbands she has either.
It's kinda even--even between husbands and children.
I'm honestly leaning towards Grammy wins.
She has been--she's incredibly successful
and has done so much
and has been around for so long and been in the limelight,
but what are your thoughts?
- I think you're right on the halftime show thing.
- Okay. Okay.
- My sense of the Grammys, which is vague at best,
is that there are many, many categories.
- Yeah, yeah.
- So I just think there would be more opportunities
for the numbers to rise in that category than these others.
- Yeah, she's had so many hits. There's so many categories.
- So...
- I think I'm gonna lock in Grammy wins.
- We really hope that you two came to the right answer.
We will find out what that answer is...
After this short break.
Don't go anywhere. No Googling.
- Welcome back to "The Wheel."
We have $5,000 in the bank.
Before the break, we asked Layne,
which has Madonna had more of?
You locked in Grammy wins.
We're about to find out if Layne is still on the wheel
or if she's off the wheel.
Very, very best of luck.
Is it Grammy wins? Come on.
[tense music]
* *
- Yes! - Yeah!
- Oh, well done.
- Wow. - Well done.
- I'm proud of you, Steve.
- We now have $10,000 in the bank,
so that's starting to build. - Yeah.
Four categories remaining.
What are you gonna go for next?
- I think I'm gonna go with Percussion.
- Percussion, yes. - We are very fortunate
to have an absolute legend of percussion within our midst.
- Thank you. - Sheila E.
- Yes. - You are in gold.
- Whoo! - Yeah.
- So whose idea of percussion
is hammering a nail into a wall?
- What? - Who are you gonna shut down?
- I think I'm gonna shut down Buddy again.
No hard feelings. - No hard feelings.
- Buddy, unfortunately, you are shut down.
- All right. - No worries.
- I'm gonna go around with Sheila.
Let's see what happens. Spin the wheel.
Come on. - Spin the wheel.
We need gold.
[Sheila E's "Glamorous Life"]
- * She wants to lead the glamorous life *
- Sheila!
- * She don't need a man's touch *
- Love it. - Sheila E. is what we need.
We don't want Buddy. Come on, stop here. Oh, no.
- Oh. Oh. - It's okay. You're safe.
- We might make it.
We might make it. Come on, Carnie.
- It looks like it might be Jaime again or Carnie.
- Oh, I don't know.
- It's gonna be for the second time...
- Okay. - Yeah, baby.
- Jaime Camil. - All right.
[cheers and applause]
- Okay. - The wheel loves you.
- And I know how to play the game.
- Yes. - So now we're good.
Now we're good, huh?
- Absolutely.
We will refrain from capitalizing any of the words
so that there's no confusion.
It's for another $5,000 in the bank.
Let's have a look at the question.
The percussion family of instruments includes all--
Uh-oh, it's capitalized.
- Thank you.
- Except which of the following...
Experts, lock in your answers.
What are you guys thinking?
- Back in the day-- I might have been, like, ten--
I played a little... [imitates rimshot]
A little... - Oh, do it again, please.
- Ding-ding.
You know, something like that. - Ooh, nice.
- And so I'm pretty sure percussion has to do
with something that you hit,
so I'm leaning towards accordion
that this is this thing, right?
- Yup. - So you don't hit it.
I'm pretty sure accordion is not in the percussion family.
- Yes. - Would you agree?
- 100%. - Okay.
- What are you gonna lock in?
- So I'm gonna lock in accordion.
- I love that. I love the way you're playing this game,
but have you locked in the right answer?
Are you still on this wheel? Is it accordion?
Feels good.
- Drumroll, please. -
"Drumroll, please," says Sheila E.
[tense music]
* *
- Whoo! - Yes, it is!
You're doing so, so well. - Whoo!
- There is $15,000 in the bank.
Let's try and build on that. - Whoo-hoo.
- All right, there are three categories remaining.
So what are you gonna go for next?
- I think I'm gonna go for Classic TV.
- Classic TV has been selected.
- Yes, let's do it. - Yes.
- Our expert is the lovely Carnie Wilson.
- I maybe watched a little too much TV growing up.
- Yeah, and she is in gold. - Ooh, yes.
- Where I like to be.
- Now, who looks wonderful in red?
Are you going to continue to shut down poor Buddy...
- Hey.
- Who's wondering whether he should have
just stayed at home and eaten cakes.
- [indistinct].
[laughter]
- I think I'll shut down Sheila.
- Sheila E... - Yeah.
- Has been shut down.
- Are you serious? What's wrong with you?
- I don't know.
- I've been on "Partridge Family,
"Brady Bunch." - Oh, great.
- There's a lot at stake here.
I'm gonna go round with our golden expert Carnie.
- Everything is crossed right now, my fingers, my legs.
- And without preempting the song...
- Yes. - I'm gonna hold on.
[laughter]
Spin the wheel. - Perfect.
- Hold on, baby. - Hold on.
- * Whoa-oh-oh *
* Someday somebody's gonna make you want to turn around *
* And say goodbye *
- For one more spin.
- * Are you gonna let 'em hold you down and make you cry? *
* Don't you know *
- Sheila E., no, thank you.
- * Things'll go your way *
* If you hold on for one more day *
- Whoo. - Oh, no.
- Oh, my gosh.
- It's just like we did [inaudible]
- No. - No.
- Damn you, wheel.
No. - See?
- I told you.
- I'm so sorry.
- I told you.
- I'm so, so sorry, but there's a one in three chance...
- Yes. - You return immediately.
- Hopefully, I'll be right back.
- But unfortunately, "The Wheel" has shut you down.
It's goodbye to Layne. - Bye, Layne.
- She's off "The Wheel."
- Don't leave us. - I'm sorry.
- Are we gonna meet Alice for the first time?
- Sorry. - Are we gonna meet John?
Or is Layne gonna come back?
Don't go anywhere. Come back to "The Wheel."
- Welcome back to "The Wheel."
- Yes, let's go.
- We have $15,000 in the bank.
We have three categories remaining,
but we have no contestant.
It's a one in three.
Who's it going to be?
Spin the contestants wheel.
[cheers and applause]
Who's it gonna be? Will it be Layne?
Or John? Or Alice? Oh!
- Whoo!
- It's a new one. - It's John.
John, nice to meet you. Tell us about yourself.
Let's find out about John.
- I'm a tactical strength and conditioning coach
who works predominantly
with the military, police, and fire personnel.
- Amazing. - I help our first responders
and military emotionally, physically, mentally.
- Wow. - Yeah.
- Hey, that's very good. This is good work.
You're helping people. - Doing my best.
- You're a good person to be around.
- Sometimes.
- If you were to win big tonight, John,
which we all hope you do, what would you do with that money?
- You know, my wife and I, we went through
a really challenging time ourselves
for a couple of years.
I almost lost everything, the marriage
and it almost fell apart, and proud to say that,
you know, we rebuilt and starting fresh and strong
and have a good foundation.
So we'd like to add on and--and expand on our home
just like we did our marriage.
- Oh, well, that's a very, very, very good idea.
- Love that. - All right, John, good news.
Three categories, half the wheel has been removed.
Of these three remaining categories,
what are you feeling most comfortable about?
What are you gonna go for first, John? Come on.
- I guess I'll just go with Classic TV.
- Classic TV has been selected, and, of course, Carnie is here.
She's our expert, so she's in gold.
- Thank you. - Yes.
- Who would you like to shut down on Classic TV?
- Let's shut down Steve. - All right.
- What?
- Steve has been shut down on Classic TV.
All right, it's time. Spin the wheel.
[cheers and applause]
Come on now. We got this.
Let's let it get here.
What have we got? Who's it gonna be?
* *
- Going. Keep going.
- * The wheel *
* The wheel *
- We don't want Steve. - Yes, Carnie.
- Okay. Stop. - Yes, Carnie.
Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop.
Damn you, wheel.
[laughter]
- Oh, so close.
- Oh, my God.
- Well, I need you. I need you. Stay with me. Stay with me.
- I'm with you. - Stay with me. I need you.
- It's for another $5,000 in the bank.
- We got this.
- Let's have a look at the question on Classic TV.
- Even though I'm not that old, I do remember
watching "Bewitched,"
and I don't remember her ever wiggling the ears...
- I'm with you on that one, yes, yeah.
- Snapping the fingers, I don't ever recall that one.
Nodding her head. That would just be too confusing,
so I have to go with twitch her nose.
What do you think?
- John, I'm--I'm very--now--
now I'm confused. Now, I don't remember if--
if after the nose she snapped
to, like, actually make the magic happen.
- That's a good point.
- I don't know if it was the nose
and the head that or the nose and...
- You could be right.
- It's your decision, John? What are you gonna lock in?
- It's your decision, yeah.
- I'm gonna lock in "Twitch her nose."
- Twitch her nose has been locked in.
- [trills tongue]
[laughter]
- Have you knocked off another category?
Are you still on this wheel? Is it "Twitch her nose"?
Come on, John.
[tense music]
* *
Yes, her nose.
- Yes, John! Yes! - Yes, the nose.
- Whoo! - All right.
- And it's a perfect wheel
which means that every single expert got that one right.
- Yeah.
- Which means an additional $5,000 in the bank.
- I like that. - $25,000 is now the total.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Things are looking better.
We have two categories remaining.
What are you gonna go for next?
- You know, that's a great question.
Let's go with Mexico.
- All right. - We're gonna go with Mexico.
Of course our expert in Mexico is Jaime,
Which means he is in gold.
- Yes. - Jaime.
- Yeah.
- Who would you like to shut down on the subject of Mexico?
- Well, I was an athlete, so I'm kinda superstitious,
so I'm gonna stick with what was working,
and I'm gonna have to shut down Steve again.
- Ooh. - Oh, okay.
Steve, unfortunately, you are shut down.
- Oh.
- All right, let's see what happens.
- Yes. - Spin the wheel.
Let's do this.
- Viva Mexico. Let's go.
[upbeat music]
* *
- No, thank you.
- You're in Mexico, right, Buddy?
- But this is what we want.
- Oh, boy.
- No. - Oh, boy.
- Stop. Stop here. - Sheila, Sheila.
- No, no, Steve. No, Steve.
- Stop with Sheila. Stop. Stop.
- Stop. - No.
- Damn.
- Oh, wow. Wow.
- Oh, my God. - It's absolutely awful,
awful luck. - It happens.
- No sooner have we met you, but it's goodbye.
But there's every chance we'll meet you again,
because, of course, it's a one in three.
You could come right back.
You've lost your place on the wheel.
I'm so, so sorry. Only two categories remaining.
- Oh, bye, John. Sorry, John.
- And we've still never met Alice.
Find out if we ever do. after the break on "The Wheel."
- Welcome back to "The Wheel."
We have $25,000 in the bank.
We have no contestant,
and we have only two categories remaining.
It's a one in three.
Who's it gonna be?
Spin the contestant wheel. Will it be Layne?
Or John? Or Alice? Who's it gonna be?
- Whoo!
- Ahh. - It's Alice.
- Hi, everybody.
- You're real, Alice. - Hi.
- Alice, Alice, Alice. Welcome to "The Wheel."
So even though it's taken you so long to join us,
it's actually amazing,
because there's only two categories remaining.
- Oh, my gosh. Amazing.
- Alice, tell us about yourself.
- I am a fourth-year medical student.
I'm in my last year.
- Amazing. - Yeah.
- This is what we need.
- I'm actually gonna specialize in OB-GYN.
So I'll be taking care of women.
- Aww. - Fabulous.
- Love it. - It's very honorable.
So what are you thinking? Are you a horse racing fan?
Have you spent much time in Mexico?
- I have not spent much time in Mexico,
and I don't know anything about horse racing...
- Yeah.
- But that's what the experts are for, right?
- Yes, that certainly is the theory.
[laughter]
What are you gonna go for?
- I'm gonna go with horse racing.
- Okay, horse racing. Let's do this.
Our expert, of course, is Steve Kornacki.
- Yes. - Where does this come from?
- Just a fan, you know,
'cause I've lost plenty of money
betting on horses through the years, so...
hopefully I'm a little better answering questions about it.
- Horse racing expert Steve Kornacki. He's in gold.
[cheers and applause]
- Who would you like to shut down
on the subject of horse racing?
- I think I'm gonna shut down--
literally my goals queen over here--
Ms. Amber Riley.
I grew up watching "Glee." I love theater.
- Thank you. Thank you.
- I love everything that you do,
but I'm not sure how much you know about horse racing
so I'm gonna shut you down for right now.
- Fair, sis. It's fair, sis. It's fair.
- Yeah. I'll--I'll-- I'll come back to you, sis.
- Well, it was a very charming way,
but you have been shut down.
Do not land on Amber. Very best of luck, Alice.
- Thank you. - Let's do this.
Spin the wheel.
Who's it gonna be?
No. Keep going.
Let's get Steve. It's so hard.
[upbeat music]
- * The wheel *
* The wheel *
- All right. Come on. Keep going.
- Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going.
- No. No. Oh, no, no.
- Keep going. Keep going. - Keep going.
- Yeah. - Keep going!
Yes!
I knew it was gonna be me.
We're gonna get this one right.
- I'm so excited, Buddy,
because my little sister and I,
we used to watch "Cake Boss" almost every day.
- Oh. - And she's gonna be so excited
when she sees that I got to be with you.
- We're gonna do it together.
- Okay, I'm feeling a lot of positive energy now.
Let's have a look at the question
for your place on this wheel and another $5,000 in the bank.
- Let's talk through what it definitely can't be.
- Yeah. - Right?
- Like, a cellist sounds--
- The cellist definitely not.
- I think we should get rid of cellist.
- All right. - Bugler?
- A bugler... - Might be it.
- Might be, because of the horns, right?
- Yes, yes.
- So I don't think there's an organ there.
- I don't think so either.
- So if we take out organists, and we take out cellist.
- And take out cellist; we're down to drummer and bugler.
- It just clicked in my head.
I had an epiphany, and I hear...
[imitates bugle fanfare] - Yep. Yes.
- Bugler. Done. - All right.
So I'm gonna go with Buddy on this,
and I'm going to lock in bugler as my answer.
- Please, God.
- There was an epiphany at the end of that.
- It did. - Was it the correct epiphany?
Is it bugler?
- Please, please, please.
[tense music]
* *
- Yes! - Ahh!
- Yeah!
- Yes. - Well done, Alice.
- Oh, my gosh. Thank you, Buddy.
- No, thank you.
- There's $30,000 in the bank.
We are finally down to the final category on this wheel.
It's Mexico. Our expert is Jaime Camil.
He is in gold. - Jaime.
- Yay. - Thank you.
- Last chance to get that bank money up.
So land on him, it'll put $10,000 in that bank.
Who are we shutting down on Mexico?
- I'm gonna have to shut down Steve,
because he's an expert in horses,
and I don't think that really relates to Mexico.
- Mexico, of course, have no horses.
[laughter]
All right, sorry, Steve. You are shut down.
Okay. Vamos!
Spin the wheel.
- Yeah. - Come on.
- [speaks Spanish]
- Viva Mexico.
Viva Mexico, vamos.
- * The wheel *
- Viva Mexico.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Ahh! - $10,000, Alicia. Alicia.
- Stop. Stop here. Stop.
Viva Mexico.
- Yay! - Oh, my.
Oh, my. - [speaks Spanish]
10,000, Alicia.
- 10,000.
- This is to get that bank up.
But more importantly, this is to clear the wheel
through to the cash-out question.
For $10,000 in the bank, your place on this wheel,
the question on Mexico is...
What are we thinking, guys?
- So I'm thinking Kingdom of Mexico.
- We don't have a king in Mexico.
- No.
- I thought you were the king of Mexico?
- I am. I am. I am, but not "officially."
- Okay, okay. - Yes.
- So Principality of Mexico.
- We are not Monaco. So I would say no.
- So okay, so-- - I gonna tell you in Spanish.
- Okay. Oh.
- [speaking Spanish]
- Of Mexico.
United Mexican States.
Okay, because my expert has walked me through,
and I've translated it... kind of...
- Yes.
- I'm gonna go with United Mexican States,
and I'm gonna lock in that answer.
- Ooh.
- Well... - Boom, boom, boom.
- We're all feeling very confident.
Oh, this is beyond confident.
Oh, he's so confident.
- Okay.
- This is for $10,000 in the bank.
- Let's go. - This is to clear the wheel.
- Let's clear the wheel.
- This would go through to the cash-out question
to win tonight's show.
- Let's go.
- Is it the United Mexican States?
- Let's clear.
Let's clear, let's clear, let's clear, let's clear.
[tense music]
* *
- Yay! - Whoo!
- Boom. - Yes.
- I'm so happy.
- Alice has cleared the wheel.
[cheers and applause]
Unbelievable. And the bank stands at $40,000.
- Amazing. - Can Alice win tonight's show?
We will find out when we come back on "The Wheel."
Go nowhere.
- Welcome back to "The Wheel."
where Alice has the opportunity to cash out.
- Yes. - Yay.
- Now, what's gonna happen,
you will have to answer one more question correctly,
the cash-out question, and you will be assisted
by one of our celebrities,
but to find out who that's gonna be,
the first thing I have to do is to reveal the ranking.
Oh, yes.
We've been collecting your answers from tonight's show
to let you know who has come first and who has come last.
So only three of our experts
are still in play for you to choose from.
They are our top-performing celebrity, Steve.
- All right, Steve. - Go, Steve.
- Steve, yes.
- Well done, Steve. He's still in the game.
Also still in the game
our middle-place expert, Sheila E.
- All right, Sheila.
- Drumroll, please.
- Thank you. - Beautiful, wonderful Sheila.
Now, the final person still in the game
is our bottom-placed player.
Is it Jaime?
Amber? Buddy? Or Carnie?
[tense music]
Amber, you have, unfortunately, come last tonight.
Now, if you choose Sheila E., our middle-placed expert,
you're gonna be playing for the entire bank.
That's $40,000. - Okay.
- If you want to choose Steve, our top-performing celebrity,
what we deem play safe, then I'm halving the bank.
You will win $20,000. - Wow.
- Okay.
- But if you really wanna be flush, then you will be
selecting Amber to help you, because she came last tonight
and is deemed the weakest of our celebrities.
I'm doubling the bank.
- Oh, my gosh. - You would win $80,000.
- Yep. - So big.
- A huge sum of money.
- Yeah. - Whoo.
- When you first came on this wheel,
you told everybody how much you loved Amber.
- Yeah. - You shut her down.
- Yeah, I did.
- But you said, "We will have our time."
- Yeah.
- If you think this is your time, you'll be playing
for the most amount of money, $80,000.
It's a big decision. Who are you gonna play with?
- So I'm gonna stick to my word,
and I'm gonna go with Miss Amber Riley.
[cheers and applause]
- Go, Alice. Yes. Yes.
- Oh, goodness, please get it right.
- Yes, yes, yes.
- All right, if you were to win big money tonight,
Alice, what would you put that money towards?
- So something very near and dear to my heart
is sickle cell disease.
I actually lost my aunt to complications of the disease.
So if I win money I'm going to definitely donate to research,
so we can have better treatments
for people suffering from the disease.
- Awesome. - Beautiful.
- We are here to help people with money.
It's for the most amount of money possible...
- You can do it. - $80,000.
- Let's go.
- If you get the question wrong, of course,
you are off the wheel.
Your question is gonna come
from one of three new categories,
Directing, Cars, and California.
- I'm from California.
- Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for.
- Okay. Let's spin the category wheel.
[upbeat music]
* *
California, please. - I can't even look.
- Come on. - Come on, California.
- Keep going.
- You got it, you got it, you got it.
- Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.
- You got it!
California! - Ahh!
- You know it!
- The odds are a little better, okay?
I know some things about Cali.
- I'm hopeful. I'm really hopeful.
- Okay, this is what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna ask you the question.
I'm gonna show you four possible answers.
- Okay.
- Let's have a look at the question on California.
30 seconds start now. Discuss.
- Facebook, they did that at Harvard, I think.
- Yeah, so... - Let's get rid of--
- I'm--I'm--I'm gonna say, I really think,
'cause we have 30 seconds, it's Amazon,
because I remember seeing a--a meme about
when he started Amazon in his garage in his house.
- All right, I trust--I trust you.
- So that's the--that's the one I'm gonna say, is Amazon.
- I'm gonna--I'm gonna go with that.
Can I lock in my answer?
- Well, we've still got 10 seconds remaining.
- Oh. I'm sorry.
- I don't--I don't think it's Tesla.
- I don't think--I don't think it's Tesla, because Tesla--
- I'm not sure about Google.
- Google? - But that's the only thing
that I did know is about Amazon.
- So you are locking in. - I'm gonna lock in Amazon.
- Amazon's been locked in.
It's a huge sum of money.
Is it gonna go the way we all hope?
- I'm dying here.
- If it's wrong, of course, you're off the wheel.
- Yes. - Is it Amazon?
[tense music]
* *
- Ohh!
- What's the right answer?
- Oh, Google.
- Google. - And I was--
- I didn't know.
- I was really going between Google and Amazon.
I don't know anything about Google.
- Amazon was started in Bellevue, Washington.
- Okay. - Aww.
- Alice, you have lost your place on this wheel.
- It's okay. - We're so, so sorry.
- It's all right. Thank you, guys, so much.
- But it is goodbye to Alice.
- So sorry.
- Two more chances to win the show.
- No. No.
- Will it be Alice? Will it be John?
Will it be Layne? Come right back to find out.
Ooh.
- Welcome back to "The Wheel,"
where Alice tried to cash out bravely for $80,000
at this all-important stage.
It's a one in three.
Who's it gonna be? Spin the contestant wheel.
- Let's go!
- Will it be Layne?
Or John? Or Alice?
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
- Ahh!
- It's Alice. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
* *
Well, fantastic. You are back.
So you know exactly the situation.
We're gonna to do it all again. - Yes.
- Still a sensational sum of money.
- Yeah.
- Who would you like to play with?
Steve for $20,000... - Yeah.
- Or Sheila E. for $40,000?
- I think I'm gonna try to at least win the bank.
So I'm gonna go with Sheila E. - Yeah, Sheila E.
- Sheila E. has been selected for $40,000.
I like the way you're playing this, Alice.
We are now down to the last two categories
to find out where the question's gonna come from,
either Cars or Directing.
Let's that spin the category wheel,
see which it's going to be. - Let's see.
[upbeat music]
- Come on, what do you want, Sheila?
- Cars.
* *
- Give her Cars.
- Stop there. - Yay.
- Cars is the category.
It's $40,000 to win the show.
- All right. - Let's get it right this time.
- Sheila E. - What?
- You might not get another chance.
- I know.
- 30 seconds to discuss this. Have a look at the question.
- All right.
- Oh, my goodness.
30 seconds. Start now.
- What do you think? - Okay.
- What do you--
- Obey the speed limit, I don't know. That could be it.
Wear clothes sounds crazy but also an option.
Maybe they do that in New Hampshire, sorry.
I don't know, whatever. Okay.
- It's maybe wears-- - Yield to an emergency...
- I don't know. Or wear a seat belt.
- Everyone should do that. - I don't know. I don't know.
- Seat belt?
I--I think that's a, like, federal thing.
- Okay, to--
- I think I'm between obey the speed limit and wear clothes.
- What? Hurry. - What do you think?
- Lock in. - What do you think?
- Speed limit.
- You're gonna lock in?
- I'm gonna go with wear clothes.
- Wear clothes.
Oh, my goodness.
How are we supposed to know all the state's driving laws?
Very best of luck. All right. Let's find out.
Is it wear clothes? Have you won tonight's show?
[tense music]
* *
I'm so sorry.
It's either yield or seat belt? - It's the seat belt.
- No, definitely not yield. It's seat belt for sure.
- I think it's seat belt. - What's the right answer?
Don't need to wear a seat belt in New Hampshire.
- Oh, yeah. I'm so sorry.
- No, it's-- it's totally my fault.
- Alice, I'm so, so sorry.
But you're off the wheel again.
- Bye. - It's goodbye to Alice.
- Bye, Alice.
- Bye.
- Well, everything we've been through tonight
comes down to this final question for $20,000.
It's a one in three for the last time tonight.
Who's it gonna be?
Spin the contestant wheel.
Who's it gonna be?
* *
- All right, Alice! - I can't believe it.
- Yay!
It's Alice. Oh, my God.
How does it feel to be picked again?
- It's crazy. I was ignored for so long, and now--
- Everything is set for you now.
- Yep. - It's going to be Steve...
- Yes. - Our top-performing expert.
And it is going to be on the final subject, Directing.
Steve, film fan?
- I've seen a couple.
- He's seen two films. - Okay.
- Let's hope the question is on one of those two films.
- I know.
- We really, really hope that you get this one right.
- Okay.
- Because there's no question for $10,000,
$5,000, $2,500, $1,000.
- I know.
- We're not gonna be here tomorrow going, "For $10..."
[laughter]
This is it. It's 20,000 or bust.
- Okay. - Silence on the wheel.
Let's have a look at the question.
Start the clock. 30 seconds. Discuss.
- So Scorsese has a lot.
- Right. - So I don't--I--I don't think
it's him. Spielberg maybe.
No, he's--I just-- you always hear his name.
- Did he win it for "Schindler's List"?
I don't... - Spike Lee probably--
maybe has a lot. Alfred Hitchcock.
- Has Spike Lee won a "Best Director" in Oscar?
- I don't think he--I don't-- I don't think he has.
- Few seconds left. - Probably should if he hasn't.
- I mean, I would guess Spike Lee over Spielberg.
- Okay. - I don't--I--I...
- Time's up. What are you locking in?
- I'm going to lock in Spike Lee.
- Let's find out if it's the right answer
for the last time, or is there no winner tonight?
Is it Spike Lee?
[tense music]
* *
- Please be Spike Lee.
Please be right.
- Oh, no. Darn it. - I'm--I'm sorry.
- It's okay. - Three chances to win.
- I know.
- Really unfortunate. - Yeah.
- The correct answer was...
- Oh, my God. - Alfred Hitchcock.
Five nominations, no wins.
- Ugh. - Oh, you've been amazing.
- Oh, my God. - I tried.
- It's been a wonderful show. We've had so much fun.
We would love to give you some money.
- I know. Thank you, guys, so much.
- But unfortunately, in a very, very topsy-turvy night,
there will be no winner tonight.
Thank you to all of our experts,
and we will see you next time. - Bye.
- Let's hope for a winner... - Bye.
On "The Wheel."
