- In 1984, the University of Miami won the national football title, and Wheel of Fortune came recruiting on campus for their annual "college week." I tried out and was not chosen for that, but was told I could be on the regular program. It was a fun experience both on the show and all the drama that surrounded it outside the studio!
I have also posted a story from The Moth with a bit of backstory on what it is like at the screen test, as well as behind the scenes on the show itself. - Komedie
Sajak still doing this 38 years later crazy
If I were him, I'd get ready to put it down in another year or two.

Back when Wheel shop for prizes. I’m loving the shopping episodes. Vanna looks beautiful.

Thanks for posting it this is from of my hometown stations
I remember when wheel of fortune was like this and I miss this the game has changed a bit since then but it’s still on and it’s still making people trying to solve puzzles.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This definately takes me back in time.
I would love to see WOF do shows that bring back these contestants and let them play again!
And consider: Pat was only 37 on this broadcast, and Vanna only 27; now Pat is 75, and Vanna is 65 (time sure has flown)!
Not to mention the 40th season of Wheel is coming soon

@@NintendoNamcoAndNickFan Syndicated wheel is in its 40th season. WOF will be 48 next month counting the 1/6/1975 daytime version premiere
Vanna is still beautiful
and I was 8 years old and now I am 47. Lol.
I remember when Vanna had to manually had to turn all those letters!!! Her arms must be real muscular by now!!!
Now this was back when Wheel of Fortune was REAL good.
Amen, Brother !!!!
Without a doubt
I liked it a lot more when they didn't have all of those prizes so I disagree with you.

@@TheTravelingRanger Okay then. I look forward to it. ❤
40 years ago.
Love you. Pat
Scrabble would premiere about 2 months later SOTC was a year old Super Password also debuted that year
Round 1's puzzle was also used in a 1979 episode (that is definitely on the Internet), except FOUR SCORE was FOURSCORE.
The correct way is "fourscore."

Happy 😊 man
This wasn't as good as when they finally got rid of the contestants having to buy prizes. It was a lot more fun to watch when they had more puzzles.
I agree

17:45 When I fast-forwarded to this, I thought about the Japanese theme for "Ultra Seven."
21:06 - Plug for "Dream House" (Game Show) next on the NBC lineup.
That promo got cut off for some reason
@@jwgreek8606Probably because the actual shows were being pre-empted.
Agreed 👍
Hug kisses
Pat should have allowed Wendy to finish when she had said most of the puzzle and she only needed to say "Marion." That wasn't fair to Wendy.

No. She didn't finish before the buzzer
How young they look!
Gary, from a May 2006 Wheel Alum, thanks for sharing this. Do you still have the luggage or anything you bought with your GCs 38 years later?
Yeah and he's travelled around the world twice as well 😃
I do! It was a five piece set: three women's and two men's. I use them for storage in my laundry room. I did travel quite a bit with them.
The Gucci Lizard Skin Key Case I took to the Gucci store in Bal Harbor and said "I received this as a gift (not a lie!) and would like to exchange it for something else." Try to spend just $75 in a Gucci store! I got a $55 porcelain box decorated in cloisonne butterflies, and a $19 pad of Gucci-emblazoned notepaper with a gold pen. That box sat on my mom's dresser until she died, and is now in my living room. I told my WOF story on The Moth stage in Miami a few years back. I also still have most of that note pad. The sweater I bought with my Adam York Gift Certificate is gone, but I still ave the actual certificate. I also have the uber-fancy letter that Gucci sent with the key case, the letter from Merv Griffin Productions telling me I'd passed all the tests and a bunch of other fun random paperwork showing all the random crap I got as "parting gifts."

Wendy did excellent. 😀👍
That Country Junction wall phone replica was way too expensive! I used to work for a company that sold and repaired old phones and modern phones as well as parts for old phones and modern phones from 1993-1996. The original Country Junction woodwall phone like that one looked like would be around $300 and it would be working! The company that I worked for did business all over the world. That wall phone is a very poor reproduction.

I'm guessing this daytime episode was recorded off of Central Florida’s NBC affiliate WESH 2
Yes....I am so curious as to why this is "a thing" to know!
@@TheTravelingRanger Because these daytime Wheel shows have not been seen since their original broadcast(outside of three Daytime shows aired on GSN in August 2007 in the wake of the Merv Griffin bucket kicking), and it's nice to know the station from which they came.
@@TheTravelingRanger My brother was 17 days old when it aired. I watched it probably on WXII 12 when I lived in Winston-Salem, NC.

@@TheTravelingRanger Don't worry i won't miss it
I wonder if the contestants were scripted to sat R S T L and E before it became the free letters
We were not. This was long before they did that, but those were the letters everyone always chose so it was quite dull!
@@TheTravelingRanger well you didn’t HAVE to say those letters just to keep up with the Joneses
YOU could have asked for other letters such as H, Z and Q
Round 1 and the bonus round are Quotation. The latter is a rare instance of a category appeared in the bonus round. As of currently, Quotation appeared in the bonus round 9 times and 3 of them are on daytime.
I think that quotation usually is said Cannot rather than Can't
@@zachhoran which is a quote from Abraham Lincoln. Interestingly enough, Round 1 and the bonus round puzzles are quoted by Abe Lincoln.

The Dream House clip has two girls standing next to each other, so it could be from a celebrity week.
I wonder who those celebrities cold be?
@@VahanNisanian I don't know but they did have a few celeb weeks around May 1984.
Are you saying that the contestants in this episode are celebrities? LOL...we were not!
@@TheTravelingRanger Dream House around May 1984 had some weeks with all celebs playing for charity instead of married couples. Was 5/30 the airdate for the Wheel episode or the tapedate. I suspect it's the airdate, since Dream House's last show was four weeks later on 6/29
