Adaptations

Various official and unofficial adaptations of Wheel of Fortune exist.

1996-99: Wheel of Fortune - Live!
From 1996-99, GSN sponsored a tour version of Wheel with host Bob Eubanks (later Michael Burger) and local celebrities taking the role of hostess. The grand prize was a trip to Los Angeles, where the winner would appear on GSN.

1997-98: Wheel 2000
September 13, 1997 saw the debut of a children's version for Saturday mornings called Wheel 2000, hosted by David Sidoni with puzzleboard and announcing duties held by the motion-capture CGI "Cyber Lucy" (Tanika Ray). This version ran concurrently on CBS and Game Show Network until 1998.

2003: Wheel O' Fortune
A stage show done at Chumash Casino on at least December 2, 2003, hosted by Chuck (who entered to "Big Wheels"). Seven games of two puzzles each were played, each game calling a new group of three from the audience. The Wheel was vertical, with 24 wedges: one each of Bankrupt, Lose A Turn, Free Spin, $300, and $500; various values from $25-$200; and two $1,000. Vowels cost $25.

Audience members who were not called were given an opportunity to win $250 by finding a star under their chair. The show also had promos for Lingo plus songs sung by Chuck after two puzzles (specifically AIN'T MISBEHAVIN and I'M FOOLIN MYSELF).
