Wheel Of Fortune Snl Tina Fey
As host of the rebooted Supermarket Sweep, Leslie Jones knows game shows. She’s just used to asking the questions or announcing results.
Wheel of Fortune 's old format involved players using their winnings to shop a large selection of prizes displayed on a spinning stage, including home goods and other occasionally random items. This element of the game was eliminated from the syndicated version of the show in 1987, which Sajak began hosting in 1983. Watch SNL sketches featuring the character Ed Grimley (Martin Short) online at NBC.com.
The Saturday Night Live alum will switch over to being a contestant for the upcoming run of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, where she had the chance to spin the giant wheel. She’s shown here in images exclusive to Yahoo Entertainment.
Jones, who competed on The $100,000 Pyramid in 2016, is one of the many celebs who played for a prize of $1 million — to donate to their chosen charity, of course.
