More Info: Gary Labusohr was excited for the first round of his appearance on the “Wheel of Fortune” game show. But the 57-year-old Pullman code enforcement officer’s enthusiasm waned and he began to fake it when he kept spinning the wheel and landing on “Bankrupt” or “Lose A Turn” while another contestant racked up $16,000. “It was really obvious I wasn’t going to be the big winner,” he said with a scowl. “Unfortunately, I didn’t play well. Only people who solve a puzzle accumulate any money, and when you can’t play you can’t solve.”

Question: Have you ever been on a TV game show?
