How many of us dream of getting on the show? This became reality for a local couple during the Hilton Waikoloa Village show tapings last year. They were genuinely nice people, so very humble and funny, and they love coming to Hawaii! I had the honor of meeting them and the rest of the Wheel team when they were taping promos for the Hawaii shows last year. Hawaii residents have grown to love Pat Sajak and Vanna White like family. I can hear the soft ping and spin of the wheel resonating through my neighborhood. Even now, as I did growing up, at 6:45 p.m. Wheel of Fortune has long been the most-watched game show in Hawaii … and one of the most successful in American history.
