“Like most of America, I’ve been a Wheel fan for decades! Being able to bring America’s Game to your hometown is truly a dream come true,” says Mark L. Walberg. “I can’t wait to celebrate Wheel of Fortune with fans from all over the country and, as a bonus, help to make you all winners!"

Clay Aiken added, “I've been a part of some of America's biggest competitions, so now it's especially exciting to get to be a part of "America's Game!" And, it's even more exciting to get to be a part of handing out the amazing prizes this time! Being able to host ‘Wheel of Fortune’ on tour is such an honor and I can't wait to watch so many people win!"

Suzanne Prete, Executive Vice President of Game Shows, Sony Pictures Television, said, “We had to be very careful about who we trusted to bring the spirit of our beloved game show out of the studio and into theaters across the country. We hope the fans enjoy the energy Mark, Clay, Kalpana, and Dave will bring to this new theatrical experience.”

At “Wheel of Fortune LIVE!” guests can try out to go on stage and feel like they stepped onto the stage of one of the greatest game shows of all time.

ABOUT CLAY AIKEN:

Clay Aiken most recently starred on Broadway, alongside Ruben Studdard, in Ruben & Clay’s First Annual Christmas Carol Family Fun Pageant Spectacular Reunion Show at the Imperial Theater. The New York Times called the production ‘A Christmas Miracle’. This came ten years after Clay’s critically lauded Broadway debut in Monty Python's Spamalot. On the heels of Idol, he became the first artist in history to have his first single debut at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. His subsequent album, Measure Of A Man, also debuted at #1 with the highest first week sales by a debut artist. His 2004 holiday release, Merry Christmas With Love, set a record for the fastest selling holiday album of the SoundScan era and remains tied for the highest charting debut of a holiday album in Billboard history. He served 9 years as a UNICEF Ambassador and in 2003, he co-founded, with Diane Bubel, what is now the National Inclusion Project to advocate and increase opportunities for children with disabilities to be included in extracurricular activities (such as summer camps and after-school programs) with their non-disabled peers. Additional TV appearances include: 30 Rock, The Office, Scrubs, Days Of Our Lives, and Law & Order: SVU. Additional 2nd place finishes include: The Celebrity Apprentice in 2012 and the NC 2nd District US House race in 2014. Beyond all of his successes (and near successes) his proudest accomplishment remains his son, Parker.
