My boyfriend’s mom is a HUGE fan of Wheel of Fortune. It’s been a running joke in their family that his mom had to miss an episode because my boyfriend was born while it was airing that day.

The episode is Episode #1926, the first game of College Week (Boston), and aired on May 17, 1993.

Does anyone know of a way to find the episode, or a contact to reach out to possibly receive it?

I know this is a long shot as they typically only give copies of episodes out to contestants, but his mom has recently been placed on hospice care after being diagnosed with cancer in May, and I am hoping to just provide one more happy moment they can share together by watching the episode.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

With the season 44 tapings beginning tomorrow, I've been thinking. This season (2026-27) because it is the 25th year of the Mystery Round (debut 2002-03 season), they should make the face value $2500 and the back of one of the wedges $25,000. Thoughts, concerns, complaints, comments?

I hope Zack and his boyfriend didn't go to Morocco. No same sex couple should.

I hope they gave him an alternate destination.

Seriously debating whether to invest serious time/energy in a video with high production values, and whether all that effort will actually matter in the end. For those of you who got on, what do you think was the most important part(s) of the application process to get you from the 1st to 2nd round of auditions, and eventually to the taping?

I haven't seen anyone from my first audition group (five people) on the show so far. A surprising number of us were from the Houston area. I never heard back for a second audition and was wondering if anyone who had their first audition in that time frame made it to a taping yet.

I never once considered if the wheel can spin the other way, like for left handed players

Before and after is the best category in my view. What’s your favorite?

I'm blind. He just shows the card at the end and I never know what it says.

What theme weeks are you hoping for this upcoming season?

I had my puzzle audition where I did toss ups and 16 individual puzzles. Then today I got an email and the preview of it said “CONGRATULATIONS, YOUVE BEEN SELECTED”. So here I am thinking I got a taping date, but when I opened the email it was the exact same as the first email I got! It was asking me to sign up for a 10 minute interview with a producer.

Why did I receive this email again, and should I sign up for another interview? I already had this interview last week so I am confused.
