... they did not give the answer to the question in the video.

The answer is Michelle Nunn daughter of Sam Nunn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Nunn

Kornacki is much more satisfied with that bit than I am and not always providing the correct answer is a large part of why I feel the way I do. I am inclined to like that segment but they need a better host. Perhaps Alex Trebeck might be available for a guest bit. Clearly there is a reason he is a political commentator and not a game show host.

At every new turn the audience would chant the show's name: "Wheel...of...Misfortune!"

O'Donnell was not impressive at all. I am glad that they got rid of the early buzzing penalty
