The problem with "Wheel of Fortune" is that it's always followed by "Jeopardy," so you go from pretty much holding your own and feeling pretty good about yourself to being totally lost and feeling like you should be in a zoo exhibit flinging your poo at hapless tourists.
Or you go from thinking everyone is about the same level of intelligence to wondering why the contestants struggled with such easy questions. Why did you choose math for $1000 if you don't know the word fractions?!
Or on Super Bowl week no one is able to answer any of the American football clues... and every sports fanatic at home is screaming at the television...
In my area Jeopardy is on before Wheel of Fortune so you get to make yourself feel better and that you are more intelligent after Jeopardy makes you feel stupid LOL
My spouse was on Wheel of Fortune, when we were still dating, and it aired in September 1994. After taxes, the winnings paid for our wedding, my engagement ring, and our wedding rings.
That's awesome! VERY NICE! I probably was watching then lol my jr year in HS!! =) I LOVED when you could pick the prizes lol always thought that was neat.
It blows my mind that things popular in some countries have never even been heard of in others like I can't imagine growing up without just the familiarity of shows like Wheel of Fortune
back in the 90's I was in the audience and got paid for it as an "extra". They hired actors to make sure the audience looked the way they wanted it to look, but they did give tickets out to locals and tourists also. They filmed a whole week of shows in one day and it was a long day. We had to bring a change of clothes for each "day" and they rearranged our seating and dismissed the unpaid audience members after each show and brought in new people. We had to clap for 3 solid minutes in a very enthusiastic way while they recorded it and filmed us. that was the hard part! The next 3 days my hands were swollen! Vanna was friendly and nice, Pat was stand-offish and they gave us snacks that were not anything to write home about---granola bars broken in half and sodas. I made $425 for the day. There were probably 100-150 of us paid actors to fill the audience. It was a long day. 4AM to after 10PM. It was fun, but it wore you out. I understood at the end of the day why they recorded the clapping and took the pan of the audience early in the day!
The present hosts in the US, Pat Sajak and Vanna White, have been presenting the show together since the fall of 1982. Originally you used what you won for solving the puzzle to buy prizes from a showcase set up on stage. That was scrapped by the spring of 1989 when they found that playing for cash makes the game move faster, meaning more puzzles and more potential cash to be won.
The host, Pat, served in the Air Force in Vietnam as a radio DJ and is 70 years old.The model, Vanna White was once a contestant on The Price is Right and is quite lovely for 60 years old.
Damien I’m quite surprised that, in two years time, I’m the only person to get that reference... I was actually thinking the exact same thing when the guy in the video said it...
Facts is REALLY reachin to the bottom of the barrel lately, this video was as fun to watch as it is watching people watch wheel of fortune... just, enthralling...
To anyone who was confused by that one puzzle: the Before And After Puzzle works like this. There are two phrases in the puzzle. So what is Fair and Square Toe Boots is actually: Fair and Square AND Square Toe Boots There is one word in common with both phrases that links the two together. In this case, it's Square. That's why it doesn't seem to make sense. :-)
When the show was young (1980's), contestants actually "shopped" for prizes on set, which were displayed in a showroom behind the contestants. Also, Vanna used to actually spin the letters.
I hope someone explained to them how the "Before & After" category works. You repeat a word to make two separate phrases. "Fair and Square" "Square toe boots" ....annnd, sometimes the people accidentally say it that way as they were trying to figure out the two different phrases in their head.....so when they solve, they lose by saying it wrong. It doesn't happen that often, but enough that you feel so bad for em.
Facts. I've said this before, and I'm saying it again. YOU NEED TO COME TO THE US FOR A TOUR AND FILM YOUR TALENTS DOING/TRYING THINGS IN THE US. Would love to see your crew compete on one or more US game shows. Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud would be my picks. Also, would love to see your crew spending a weekend camping somewhere in the more wild parts of the US.
And I need to live in a mansion and fly around the world in my own private jet with a king-sized bed that I can sleep and watch cartoons in. Too bad money doesn't just fall out of the sky so we all get the extravagant things we want in life.
The first time the letters randomly pop up to be solved is to decide who gets to introduce themselves first and they win $1,000. The second time is to decide who gets to spin first and they win $2,000. If a contestant doesn't win anything, he or she gets a minimum of $1,000. Once the big winner goes on to the final round he spins a smaller wheel to decide what he or she would win if they solve the puzzle. The amounts can range from $30,000 on up to $100,000 or a car. During one round on the big wheel is a spot labeled Million. If a contestant lands on this and guesses a letter on the board then that contestant picks up the million card. If he or she lands on bankrupt then they loose all their money during that round and the million card. If they have the million card and go to the final round then in place of the $100,000, a $1,000,000 prize is placed in the wheel. At least three times someone won the million. Several times someone couldn't guess the puzzle and their card was the million.
The 1/2 a car tag is one of several. The goal is to get both halves and solve the puzzle and you win a small car like a Honda Fit (Jazz in Europe), Hyundai Accent (Hyundai i20 in Europe), or Ford Fiesta for examples.
Before & After is a puzzle that connects two phrases using the middle word. I.e. "Fair and Square" and "Square Toe Boots". Also she is 60 and looks amazing. :D
It's SO cute that they didn't get that it's TWO common phrases that link one, into the other. "Fair and Square". "Square Toe Boots". With the word "Square" linking both phrases.
So for anyone who doesn't get the before and after catagory, it's a mashup of two sayings home sweet home on the range for example. Home sweet home and home on the range.
The category was before and after so it is two phrases put together. the last word of the first phrase is the same as the first word of the second. thus: Fair and square. Square toe boots. = fair and square toe boots.

This was my Mom's favorite show! Even if you knew the answer, you couldn't say it. You had to let her solve the puzzle. But usually, she guessed it first. I miss her.
The before and after puzzle has a word in common with two different phrases. "fair and square" and "square toe boot" share the word square. It isn't a phrase or saying
Ah. The before an after category. They always trick the Wheel of Fortune newbies into revealing themselves when they try to read the solution as one big phrase.
Katya Rivas! You magnificent bowling-shoe-clad lighthouse bulb forger of relentless loveliness, I hope your day is dotted with occasional smirks and the odd chuckle.
*as I dance around in all black clothes eating a bacon wrapped carrot* My daily dots of occasional smirks and odd chuckles are 1: Facts videos 2: Inside jokes & comments and replies with a complete stranger (you/me) Isn't this what the internet is all about anyway?
When 'Before and After' is the clue then that means it is 2 phrases with 1 shared word. So Fair and Square is one phrase and Square Toe Boots is the 2nd one.
"that's not a phrase" actually if you look, the category is "before & after" that means there is actually 2 phrases linked by a common word. in this case "fair and square" and "square toe boots"
Before and after means the word in the middle ends one saying and starts another. So in this One it was the word Square. Square toe boots had nothing to do with the other part.
"Keyed Up" means someone is a bit wound up and agitated. Started in the 80s or something when people would use their car keys to snort small amounts of cocaine.
The problem with "Wheel of Fortune" is that it's always followed by "Jeopardy," so you go from pretty much holding your own and feeling pretty good about yourself to being totally lost and feeling like you should be in a zoo exhibit flinging your poo at hapless tourists.
Or you go from thinking everyone is about the same level of intelligence to wondering why the contestants struggled with such easy questions. Why did you choose math for $1000 if you don't know the word fractions?!
Or on Super Bowl week no one is able to answer any of the American football clues... and every sports fanatic at home is screaming at the television...
Jack wow, that's accurate as hell man.
In my area Jeopardy is on before Wheel of Fortune so you get to make yourself feel better and that you are more intelligent after Jeopardy makes you feel stupid LOL
The problem with Wheel is most of their phrases are nonsense.
My spouse was on Wheel of Fortune, when we were still dating, and it aired in September 1994. After taxes, the winnings paid for our wedding, my engagement ring, and our wedding rings.
That's lovely!
That's awesome! VERY NICE! I probably was watching then lol my jr year in HS!! =)
I LOVED when you could pick the prizes lol always thought that was neat.

"She's way too young for him"
I mean....she's 60, and he's 70.... >_>
TEC and she always wears snazzy dresses like that lol these people just don't know Vanna's style
To be fair to Vanna (and Vanna's plastic surgeon) she doesn't look 60.
Zela Morre Definitely. She looks great for her age. And Pat doesn't look close to 70 either
THE Jessica- I caught WoF once and Vanna wasn't wearing a full on ball gown and I was SCANDALIZED. Couldn't focus on anything else the entire show.
gleep1984 lol well, that's kind of a sad statement on the lives of those people, dontcha think?
"Oh, now he's too old for her."
You might think so, but no. Pat Sajak is 70, but Vanna White is 60.
The before and after puzzles use the middle word to tie two things together - so fair and square / square toe boots
Ah thanks for explaining :)
Yeah I remember having to have my grandparents explain to me how that worked my first time watching the show.
So.. nothing to do with before and after then? That's such a weird name for it
The word fits with what is before and what is after

"Haitch?" Irish folks are unbearably adorable in every way.
I swooned over the same thing!! Like omg they actually pronounce the "Huh" in "aitch" I'm so in love with that rn!!
tritiumH3 hey y'all pretty much every country aside from usa pronounces it like that :)
Well that. Is. ADORABLE
30,000$ "that should pay for one semester of college" sadly that's pretty accurate, and that's one of the cheaper colleges
With the "before and after" category, a word is shared between 2 expressions. (Fair and square & Square toe boots)
Thank you
Hey Irish people ... it is said that Vana White (the hostess) has NEVER word the same gown on that show, in over 4000 episodes.
'He needs a bang of a hair brush' 😂😂 '' that'll come in handy for my half a family' love it
You know who would have been fantastic in this video? Irish Jesus!
I believe his name is Paul.
Anon Nymous It is, but I prefer to call him Irish Jesus :)
I used to watch this in the 80s and 90s when I was kid, every day with my grandparents. lol
I was just randomly browsing youtube, bored as hell when suddenly, new Facts video! YAYYY
I'm fairly positive Pat is an android and Vanna is ageless.

Ah, my movite Favorite of Gingers, good to see youre getting time back on Facts. Much respect.
before and after is two different phrases/things that share the last and first words. (fair and square / square toe boots)
The host, Pat, served in the Air Force in Vietnam as a radio DJ and is 70 years old.The model, Vanna White was once a contestant on The Price is Right and is quite lovely for 60 years old.
Finally...FINALLY, I've come across people who are worse at Wheel of Fortune than I am. Now I can die happy.
Did they react to The Price is Right already? That's the show you want to watch
"Do you come with the car?"
"Teehee, oh you!"
Damien I’m quite surprised that, in two years time, I’m the only person to get that reference...
I was actually thinking the exact same thing when the guy in the video said it...
Can they react to jeopardy next?
That's what I said after it was over
Yes please, it's only natural. They've already done Family Feud and Wheel of Fortune.
Madeline Rotterman thissss isssss jeopardy!!
PS yes to jeopardy, please!
This may date me, but I'd be interested in "Irish People Watch Hollywood Squares!"
When you watch wheel of fortune, you feel like the competitors are dumb. When you watch jeopardy, you feel dumb. Please make them watch jeopardy..
Facts is REALLY reachin to the bottom of the barrel lately, this video was as fun to watch as it is watching people watch wheel of fortune... just, enthralling...
"ok nicole inside voices" lmaooo. those two women were so hilarious.
To anyone who was confused by that one puzzle: the Before And After Puzzle works like this. There are two phrases in the puzzle. So what is Fair and Square Toe Boots is actually:
Fair and Square

why have I become addicted to watching this channel....

John: Do you come with the car?
Me: SIMPSONS REFERENCE!!
"Do you come with the car?"
Sounds like my dad when he watches 'The Price is Right'. x)
I'm from Liverpool and love these vids
Like time I saw Irish people this early, Patrick was saying "somebody's gotta do something about these damn snakes!"
I hope someone explained to them how the "Before & After" category works. You repeat a word to make two separate phrases. "Fair and Square" "Square toe boots" ....annnd, sometimes the people accidentally say it that way as they were trying to figure out the two different phrases in their head.....so when they solve, they lose by saying it wrong.

Hahaha loved this one. We watch it during dinner if we can, it's always fun.
Although I prefer Jeopardy ;)
I got the "I'm keyed up" one immediately, can't believe he didn't.
Facts. I've said this before, and I'm saying it again. YOU NEED TO COME TO THE US FOR A TOUR AND FILM YOUR TALENTS DOING/TRYING THINGS IN THE US.

Yaaaaaaas!! This household LIVES for the WHEEL lolol
lmao that kid 100% told his dad to say that but to pretend he didnt.
I wonder what you guys would do with Jeopardy lol
Before & After is a puzzle that connects two phrases using the middle word. I.e. "Fair and Square" and "Square Toe Boots". Also she is 60 and looks amazing. :D
"Wheel of Torture" is what i called it whenever my mom put it on.
omg that intro is exactly what I was thinking when I saw this lol
Irish people watch Jeopardy.
every video from facts. ❤
Irish people play Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, or Mike Tyson's Punch Out on the NES
man i love this show
Irish people watch Gravity Falls.
It's SO cute that they didn't get that it's TWO common phrases that link one, into the other. "Fair and Square". "Square Toe Boots". With the word "Square" linking both phrases.
"Fair and square toe boots" is a before and after category. "fair and square" and "square toe boots"
And there goes my favorite Irish Woman. I loved playing that game on PC back in 98
That middle school teacher's performance perfectly illustrates why America's children are in so much trouble.
So for anyone who doesn't get the before and after catagory, it's a mashup of two sayings home sweet home on the range for example. Home sweet home and home on the range.
Vanna White so hot, even the irish boy asked "Do you come with the car?".LOL
At least they did better than the guy that thought the puzzle was "Streetcar NaKed Desire"
I would have liked to have seen them watch Wheel of Fortune clips from multiple countries.
Basically the only thing to watch on hospital televisions.
have they done Maury? If not then they should definitely watch it
when they were saying wheel of.... i thought of wheel of mythicality. 🤣🤣
The category was before and after so it is two phrases put together. the last word of the first phrase is the same as the first word of the second. thus: Fair and square. Square toe boots. = fair and square toe boots.
Oh my gosh my family loves wheel of fortune it’s such a good show!!!...😱😊😍😎😘😃😀😄❤️☺️😆💯🥰
Wheel Of Fortune reminds me of a certain southpark episode. Do you come free with the car, hey hey

Well, if you did Wheel of Fortune I guess Jeopardy! is right around the corner.
When 'Before and After' is the clue then that means it is 2 phrases with 1 shared word. So Fair and Square is one phrase and Square Toe Boots is the 2nd one.
"that's not a phrase" actually if you look, the category is "before & after" that means there is actually 2 phrases linked by a common word. in this case "fair and square" and "square toe boots"
Before and after means the word in the middle ends one saying and starts another.
So in this One it was the word Square.
Square toe boots had nothing to do with the other part.

Suggestion. "Irish People Play Video Games"
@facts the before and after category never makes sense. It's taking two phrases with a common middle word and sticking them together.
That show hits me right in the Dyslexia.
It's "fair and square" and "square toe boots." That makes "fair and square toe boots."
I'm more of a Jeopardy guy but this wasn't too bad. do a family feud one next.
