Wheel of Fortune is an American television game show created
by Merv Griffin, and hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White. Three
contestants (occasionally three pairs of contestants) compete
against each other to solve a word puzzle for cash and prizes.
The show first aired in 1975 on daytime network television.
The current version has been syndicated in prime time access
since September 19, 1983. Its 27th season premiered on
September 14, 2009. It is the longest-running syndicated game
show in American television history and the second-longest in
either network or syndication (behind the current CBS version
of The Price Is Right, which began airing in 1972). It is also
the third longest running first-run syndicated program in the
United States, behind Entertainment Tonight (which began
in 1981) and the now-canceled Soul Train (which aired new
episodes from 1971-2006). The show is produced by Sony Pictures
Television and distributed by CBS Television Distribution.
