Wheel of Fortune (TV Series 1983– ) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.

Jeopardy

Earlier in April, Wheel of Fortune had also broken a long-standing rule about having contestants return to the program. Tony Harrison first appeared on the show back in 2017 and was invited back due to a 'technical issue' with his first appearance. Tony Harrison from December 1, 2017 is returning due to a problem with the Bonus puzzle. He is returning on April 6. Wheel, meanwhile, is a one-and-done deal. Which is why Tony Harrison was a big exception on Monday night’s episode. Harrison appeared on an episode in 2017 and though it’s unclear exactly what happened, everyone was made aware that this wasn’t his first rodeo during player introductions. Apr 07, 2020 Tony Harrison, whose episode of Wheel of Fortune recently made it to the air, was asked that very question by a Twitter user. Although he previously appeared on the show back in 2017, Harrison.

Wheel of Fortune saw another impressive performance from a contestant on Monday night, but the player in question had a bit more experience than is usually allowed. Much like Jeopardy!, its syndicated game show sibling Wheel of Fortune only allows contestants to play in their regular games once. Jeopardy!, mind you, allows champions who go on long runs to return for its Tournament of Champions.

“If Tony looks familiar, this is Tony Harrison, who’s been here before,” host Pat Sajak said. “We had a little production issue, and in the interest of fairness, we brought Tony back.”

Harrison tweeted about his appearance before it aired and seemed very excited to be back.

Tony Harrison First Time On Wheel Of Fortune

Tony was asked by a fan why he appeared twice on Twitter, and while he didn’t have a full answer he appreciated the show was upfront with him that he would eventually get another shot.

I really don’t know the answer to that Tony, but the show was great about staying in touch and letting me know that it was just a matter of time.

He certainly took full advantage of that shot, dominating the show and winning more than $100,000 in prizes for the effort, including a nice $45,000 payout for winning in the prize round and a trip to Barbados. Harrison was predictably thrilled, but not everyone was happy that he was given a second shot and won so big.

I’ve never been on Wheel of Fortune once but Tony gets to be on it twice…

If those have a tinge of jealousy to them, well, you’re an astute observer. But not as astute as Tony, who certainly made the most of his second chance on Tuesday.
