All: WHEEL...OF...FORTUNE!

[Cheers and applause]

Philbert: The famous wheel is spinning your way towards thousands of dollars in cash! And now from the ACME Studios in New York, here are the stars of our show, Chucklewood's most funniest raccoon, my son, Freddie!

Freddie: Huh-zah!

Philbert: And Jonathan Mann!

Jon: Yeah! Mmmmm! 

Freddie: Hello, everybody! Welcome to another edition of ACME Wheel.

Jon: America's game ACME's way!

Freddie: I can see the leaves have begun to turn brown and I can smell the apple cider. 

Jon: Exactly. And before you folks begin to make a pile of leaves or drink some cider, why not spend a good half hour with us.

Freddie: We got a game in progress so let's meet our two contestants. Pop?

Player #1 hopes to become a comedian like his father someday. From the Bronx, meet Larry Siegel!

Player #2 enjoys basketball, bowling and hopes to form a bowling leauge. From Secacus, New Jersey, meet Jamal Dopen!

[Applause]

Jon: [spins the wheel] There’s hundreds of dollars in cash waiting to be won. You spin the wheel, guess a letter. If that letter’s in the puzzle, the money will be added to your bank. Guess a letter that's not in the puzzle, you lose your turn. But be careful of those two black and white spaces. Lose a Turn – land on that, your lost your turn. And finally, the Bankrupt.
 
[Audience boos]
 
Jon: Land on that, all of the money in the round will be gone! Bye-bye. If you have no money and if the other player has money, we have a wedge called Power.

Philbert: POWER!

Jon: If you land on that wedge and guess a correct letter, your opponent's money will go to you. The first player to solve two puzzles wins the game and right to play the bonus round where they have a chance to increase their winnings up to four times!

[Applause]

Jon: We are in the middle of Game 1 so here's the puzzle that we we're going after.
