Celebrity Wheel of Fortune
Chris Harrison, ABC made a rather surprising move in its primetime programming. Thursday s episode of the primetime spinoff
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune featured Harrison as a contestant, alongside
Alfonso Ribeiro and
Robert Herjavec. Viewers who have kept up on the controversy currently surrounding Chris Harrison had thoughts about the message that ABC was sending with the
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune episode.
ABC did run a disclaimer along the bottom of the episode, noting that the episode of
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune had been filmed December 20th. The disclaimer wasn t enough to prevent criticism from viewers, who questioned why ABC felt it so important to continue to showcase Chris Harrison given all that s happening.
Release date Game of Talents is all set to premiere on Wednesday, March 10 at 9pm ET/PT only on Fox.
Plot
Taking the awe, wonder, and spectacle of a large-scale variety show and infusing it with a clue-centered, high-intensity investigative game, Game of Talents is a new hybrid series like you’ve never seen. The show pits two teams of contestants against each other as they attempt to figure out the surprising, mesmerizing - and sometimes bizarre - hidden talents of the mystery performers. With more than $200,000 on the line, can the contestants spot the fire dancer from the spider wrangler or the gospel singer from the contortionist?
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune came with a disclaimer while it aired two weeks after
The Bachelor host stepped back from the franchise.
On Thursday, the seventh episode of the star-studded game show aired on ABC, featuring Harrison, 49, playing to raise money for the Feeding America charity, as well as

Rachel Lindsay, Harrison apologized for his words and vowed to do better in the future. I have spent the last few days listening to the pain my words have caused, and I am deeply remorseful. My ignorance did damage to my friends, colleagues and strangers alike. I have no one to blame but myself for what I said and the way I spoke, Harrison wrote on Instagram. I set standards for myself, and have to meet them. I feel that with every fiber of my being. Now just as I taught my children to stand up, and to own their actions, I will do the same, he continued. By excusing historical racism, I defended it. I invoked the term woke police, which is unacceptable. I am ashamed over how uninformed I was. I was so wrong.
