wheel of fortune

It happened again... Michigan was given some love on one of America's beloved evening game shows, this time Wheel Of Fortune.

Grand Rapids will be represented on America's favorite game show!

Back to back.

It's always exciting when your town is highlighted in some type of way and Michigan made an appearance on Jeopardy! last week. The episode aired on Wednesday, May 3rd says MLive. It was a $1,200 question under the category "Where Ya From...

Pat Sajak has hosted "Wheel of Fortune" for 81 years. That's only strange because he just turned 68 last month, but I digress. He's a TV icon, with thousands of broadcasts under his belt.

Congrats to Darl Gilliland, Ashley Boelens, and the Parker family! These West Michigan natives are all going to be on TV game shows in the next week! Way to go! Gilliland joins a host of other West Michiganders who have been on the Price is Right since Drew Carey took over as host.
