The Wheel, NBC’s new game show, is set to return for another episode. Contestants must answer trivia questions for a chance to win up to $100,000. Each episode will feature celebrity guests to help the contestants win more money.
In the upcoming episode, six celebrities will help the contestants win “big money” as they attempt to answer questions about gymnastics, seafood, and The Three Stooges. The episode will air on Friday, December 23, at 10 PM ET on NBC.
What to expect from the upcoming episode of The Wheel
NBC’s The Wheel, is an American adaptation of a British show by the same name. In the upcoming episode, titled Fish N’ Chips & Gold Medal Flips, various celebrities take the stage to help the contestants answer trivia questions. While each of the celebrities claims to be an expert in some category or the other, they may not necessarily answer questions from those categories.
In the event that the contestant needs their help, they’ll spin the wheel once again to see which celebrity it lands on. At this point, their expertise won’t matter because whichever category they get, they must answer the question to help the contestant and if they get it wrong, the contestant leaves the spot.
