Internet rumor says that Jim Thornton has won the announcer's job on Wheel of Fortune. I couldn't find any real confirmation, and I have to agree with the poster on the Wheel board who commented: "...a lot of 'rumors' like this are started on purpose just to get people's reactions as if it was factual. It's a strategy to engage people in debate and their reaction."I don't have much reaction myself, I'm afraid. I'm sure Thornton would be competent in the job, but the announcer's role just isn't that crucial on Wheel.
Stories have popped up that Regis Philbin is regretting his decision to retire from that little daytime show. Gee, I don't think he should ever have left Millionaire. I also hear that Chuck Woolery is having second thoughts about leaving Wheel of Fortune.
GSN is running plenty of promos for Wendy Williams' new talk/relationship/game/whatever show debuting on April 11. The promos are getting on my nerves a little. Will the talkative and emphatic Wendy hit it off with GSN's grandmotherly audience? But I was doubtful about Sherri Shepherd, too, and she's done just fine. If Wendy dials it back a little and doesn't try to dominate everything, she'll probably be okay with the viewers.
