A classic television game show will go without a studio audience out of concern over the spread of coronavirus.
"Wheel of Fortune" will begin taping episodes without an audience indefinitely, a source close to the show tells CNN.
"Jeopardy," which like "Wheel of Fortune" is produced by Sony, is considering a similar move, according to multiple reports. The change marks the entertainment business's latest response to the
pandemic.
Considering the ages of the hosts and their recent and ongoing health issues it’s a smart move by the studios. It’s also in the best interest of their fans who attend the tapings. I never miss an episode of “Wheel” so it will be interesting to see how it plays without a live audience. I hope they don’t use a laugh track though; Sajak has his moments of good-natured humor but he’s not that funny!
