From Muppet Wiki

Wheel of Fortune is a popular TV game show created by Merv Griffin. Its most popular incarnation, on the air for over twenty years, is hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White.

Based on the children's game Hangman, contestants compete to solve mystery word puzzles for cash prizes; a giant carnival-type wheel determines the cash value of the letters.

Gonzo and Kermit appeared on the show in 1999 to promote Muppets From Space.
