'Wheel of Fortune' returns with a few changes for season 38
LOS ANGELES -- "America's Game" is back!
"Wheel of Fortune" is returning to television for its 38th season, premiering Monday, Sept. 14.
Fans can expect hosts Pat Sajak, Vanna White, and the Wheel, but the show made a few changes to keep everyone safe amid the coronavirus pandemic.
For instance, the Wheel was slightly redesigned to extend its surrounding platform to allow for 6 feet of space between Sajak and the contestants.
"I think it looks great. We would probably do a bit of a Wheel and set redesign anyway," he said.
Contestants will also use what Sajak calls "The White Thing," a cap to help them spin without personally touching the Wheel.
The Emmy Award-winning game show is adding one fortunate change: To celebrate the 38th season, the minimum amount that can be won on the Bonus Wheel is $38,000.
