"Wheel of Fortune" staffers will begin handing out applications one hour before each simulated game begins—with searches being held at 1, 2:30 and 4 p.m. (each one lasting about an hour).

"The Wheelmobile tour gives us the opportunity to present local viewers with a unique and personal experience with the show," the show's executive producer, Harry Friedman, said in a release. "It's a way for us to thank our viewers for their long-term support and for making the show (No. 1)."
