An ABC press release revealed that the contestants in the upcoming, December 6th episode of the Celebrity Wheel of Fortune will include Sasheer Zamata, 36, Kal Penn, 45, and Jack Black, 53.
Saturday Night Live alum Sasheer Zamata will play on behalf of SELAH, Actor Jack Black will be playing for 24th Street Theatre, and former White House Staff member Kal Penn will represent Myrtle Avenue Revitalization Project during the “star-studded spin on America’s Game.”
Many fans will be excited to watch Jack Black, who broke onto the Hollywood scene in the 2000 romantic comedy High Fidelity and starred in the hit films Nacho Libre and Jumanji, bring his patented high energy to the game show.
Recently, Snoop Dogg, 50, shocked fans with his wild answers during the season three premiere of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
Viewers begged for the 50-year-old rapper to be on “every night” of the game show after being unable to stop laughing at his “hilarious” missolves.
Throughout the episode, Snoop had his fellow contestants, as well as fans at home, cracking up over his gameplay.
The rapper had quite a few incorrect answers, but it was just how far off he was with those responses that sent everyone over the edge.
For one puzzle, he guessed, “Baking onions,” instead of the correct answer of “Baking brownies.”

He looked pained by his failure to get this one, in particular, right, with fellow contestant Amanda Seales even telling the rapper: “You should know that! That’s your whole bag!’
While another contestant, Mark Duplass, joked: “Martha [Stewart] is gonna be disappointed. Martha’s gonna be upset!”
Some of Snoop’s other incorrect solves included “Toilet atlas,” “Swallowing the not,” and “Airport teacher.”
Each one had Celeb Wheel of Fortune viewers and the stars, alike, cracking up over their absurdities.
One fan joked: “@celebritywof BAKING ONIONS will be on both the highlight and blooper reel for a long time.”
Another wrote: “Snoop’s guesses on #CelebrityWheelofFortune were truly next-level hilarious.”
A third guessed: “Pretty sure the record is being broken for the most incorrect solve attempts in a single episode of Wheel. #CelebrityWheelOfFortune”
“I haven’t laughed this hard in so long, snoop made this whole show tonight and his answers were hilarious, put him on again,” a fourth shared.
One called this “one of the FUNNIEST episodes of #CelebrityWheelOfFortune EVER.”
RAUNCHY WORDING
The celebrity-based version of the game show featured a bizarre NSFW puzzle earlier this month that mashed up a wholesome TV show with a raunchy one.
Fans were in disbelief as Pat asked the three A-listers to awkwardly solve for a suggestive phrase.
On Sunday’s celebrity Wheel of Fortune, Michael Rappaport faced Jaime Camil and June Diane Raphael.
The “before and after” puzzle was looking for “Gilmore Girls Gone Wild.”
The three contestants looked stunned as they were asked to solve it.
The phrase seemed to combine the beloved TV series Gilmore Girls, which aired on the WB, and Girls Gone Wild – an adult series.
One astonished fan wrote: “Watching Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. Answer to a Before/After puzzle was Gilmore Girls Gone Wild.”
“Gilmore girls gone wild?” another wrote with three cry-laugh emojis.
“No. For the love of TV and game shows, just no,” wrote a third.
“I cannot unsee that now” wrote a fourth.
Even the official Wheel of Fortune Twitter account chimed in and wrote: “Hey I just handle the social media” with a shrug emoji.
HIT THE ROAD
Wheel of Fortune’s executive producer has shared the show’s 40th-anniversary plans to take the famous word game show on the road.
Bellamie Blackstone gushed over all of the exciting episodes planned for the rest of the landmark season.
Sitting down for a behind-the-scenes interview, Bellamie shared she’s excited to have Sweetheart Week return to Wheel of Fortune.
It will be the first time couples play together on the show since the pandemic.
Teen Week is also lined up where high schoolers and tweens will take their own shots at spinning the wheel.
College Week will be happening over spring break and Bellamie urges excited students with a sharp mind for word games to think about applying to appear on the show.
A Secret Santa game is also on the books for a holiday special.
Bellamie then revealed the biggest change coming up for the show in its XL season as it prepares to take to the road – but wouldn’t reveal where the secret location will be.
