Irish broadcaster and comedian Graham Nortonis going beyond the confines of The Graham Norton Showto host the UK's revival of the popular game show, Wheel of Fortune. The BAFTA award winner has been experiencing quite a career high as of late, going from hosting his hilarious BBC talk show to recently publishing his latest novel, entitled Frankie, to soon embarking on a stand-up comedy tour. This is all on top of hosting the British revival of the classic American game show.
Wheel of Fortune originally aired in 1983, and has been a mainstay in American households for over 40 years. The game show features contestants who guess letters to solve word puzzles and win a slew of prizes through spinning a giant wheel. The prizes on Wheel of Fortunecan range from a number of things, from cash, a car, or even a paid vacation to exotic locales. It's a classic formula that still manages to entertain millions of Americans to this day.
This brings us to Graham Norton's take on the iconic game show, which follows the same structure of the American version of the show. The UK has also recently had a revival of the game show Jeopardy!for British audiences, hosted by seven-time BAFTA nominee, Stephen Fry, which has largely been well-received.

Other Game Shows to Watch If You Like 'Wheel of Fortune'
If you're still looking for a game show fix after Graham Norton's Wheel of Fortune revival, look no further than these three great alternatives.
'Jeopardy!' (2024-)
As previously mentioned, Wheel of Fortune isn't the only American game show to receive a face lift for British audiences. Jeopardy! is one of the most popular game shows of all time, with the show being based around contestants who are presented with clues in the form of answers, to which the contestants must phrase their answers in the form of a question. It's a classic for a reason, and this Stephen Fry-hosted revival is more of what American audiences have loved about the game show for decades.
And for US-based game show fans, the American version of Jeopardy! makes for a great time, no matter your personal preference of host or era. The recently-released Pop Culture Jeopardy! from Prime Video is also an option for those who want a more modern take on the classic Jeopardy! formula.
'Family Feud' (1999-)

Yet another staple of American game shows, the Steve Harvey-hosted game show, Family Feud, features two families who are pitted against one another in a game of wits as they answer survey questions for a chance to win a cash prize of $20,000. The series is super fun and highly accessible to all, making it a quick and easy watch for just about anyone. Steve Harvey makes for a good host and always keeps the energy alive, making each episode great for comfortable viewing.
'The Price Is Right' (1972-)

The Price Is Right has remained a constant variable in the world of game shows, still going strong over 50 years since its premiere in 1972. Originally hosted by iconic game show host Bob Barker, The Price Is Right follows various contestants who compete for both cash and material prizes, ranging from cars to vacations. Pretty typical game show stuff on the surface, but the gimmick of The Price Is Right is that contestants must test their knowledge of consumer goods pricing to proceed to the next round, and ultimately to their prize winnings. While the late, great Bob Barker certainly left his mark on the show, with over 6,000 episodes under his belt, The Drew Carey Show star Drew Careyhas been successfully hosting the game show since 2007, and is still going strong 18 years later.
