Tips to Get On the Show
So, obviously, the million-dollar question is, what are those with the show looking for in potential contestants?
Here's what they say:
It's been our general observation through the years that contestants who play with energy, poise, focus and a sense of humor (without forgetting to call smart letters) tend to do better on the show.
In other words, watch any high-energy game show and be like those people - high-energy, bubbly, smiling, and ready to have the time of your life.
"Wheel" Timeline
And should you be picked, don't expect to be on TV next week.
Once you’re selected to be on the show, you'll enter their contestant pool. Once you're in, it may take a couple of week or even a couple of years for you to pick vowels and consonants in front of a Ryan and Vanna, but the average seems to be about 18 months.
If you're going to try out, good luck!
