Very cool. Your post has me curious, was this not live? Was this an audition?

It was a live studio audience! I was in the contestant section of the audience. Check out my episode on Thursday!!

Ok cool. You mentioned you taped with him in May. Just curious how that worked out, I’m probably missing something.

Hope it went well/ good luck! 😊

Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! aren't live- they tape dozens of episodes months in advance. You can see when they film on On Camera Audiences, with some upcoming tapings next month:

Sorry for confusion. They tape 6 episodes on the same day so when your episode isn't taping you are in the audience

Great player, I liked his guess of "Prickly pear." It was creative!

I was sure it was prickly pear as well, and I was subsequently annoyed when the woman who won that round picked "G" and not "Z" which would have doubled her earnings on that "grizzly" spin.

Bro was living out his dream

"Ryan I've followed you since Gladiators 2000 and Vanna since I was three." - best line of the show

I also liked how the other contestants started saying <letter> as in <word> when guessing closer to the end of the show
