| Hosts: Joe Raygor ("Daytime Wheel"), Eric Butler ("Nighttime Wheel") Announcer: Jim Williams Gametime: Sunday Evenings, Occasional Wednesdays Gameplay: America's Game was one of the first net games to utilize Yahoo Messenger. Joe Raygor hosts Wheel from the bygone 1989-91 CBS era hosted by Bob Goen, while Eric Butler hosts various incarnations of the Sajak era syndie wheel. The game is hangman with a wheel folks. Spin the wheel, land on an amount, and guess a letter to see if it's in there. Person with the most cash and prizes goes to "Bonus Land" where (depending on the era played) can win cash and prizes worth anywhere from $5,000 to as much as $100,000. Interesting notes in YIM Wheel of Fortune: Every netgame seems to have a definitive player, and for Yahoo! Wheel it's Jerry Depew, who has won hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of (cyber) cash and prizes! The honorary letter turners on Net Wheel are Mandy Moore or Eric Butler's girlfriend at the time of the show's broadcast. Jim Williams, the net game show world's answer to Rich Little, has impersonated M.G. Kelly and Charlie O' Donnell in the Yahoo! Wheel announce booth. Oh yeah, on occasion he uses his real voice. |
