Several thousand people will likely show up, and the only ones who get to audition – by playing a mock game onstage – are those lucky few whose names are drawn out of a raffle drum. If you do get selected, here are some key things to keep in mind:
You have to be good at the game. The judges will cross your name right off the list if you can’t solve V_NN_.
They really want people who will react loudly to winning. Clap, jump, yell, celebrate.
Speak clearly. Southern drawls are okay but if those Californians can’t decipher between your As and Is you can forget it.
Have answers prepared about yourself, where you’re from, what you like to do, and bring your personality to the stage.

If you don’t get called up to the stage, there is still hope for the rest of you! I was on Wheel of Fortune 10 years ago, and my name was never drawn. Granted, I think I had divine intervention in my corner since I planned to donate my winnings, but I did work to get noticed.
My college roommate and I auditioned for Best Friends Week Dallas at the University of North Texas. I woke up early and stood in line outside the auditorium, while Best Friend Michelle took her time waking up, then mistakenly wandered in to the auditorium. She met one of the show's big wigs, Lisa Dee, and talked to her about what they were looking for in a contestant. Armed with this insider information, we were sure we had a shot.
The lines of people outside were eventually shuffled into the auditorium, a few hundred people at a time, to watch the auditions. Before choosing names from the drum, they asked the audience a few trivia questions and handed out prizes. Michelle and I knew one of the answers, grabbed each other's hand to form a big W, and got it right. We won a hat, t-shirt, an awesome red fanny pack and a computer game, which came in handy for practice later.
They did not draw our names to audition, but we’d now been noticed twice. Before leaving the auditorium we drew a cartoon of ourselves doing a victory dance with Lisa Dee calling us to tell us we had been selected. We wrote down every single possible piece of contact information, and Michelle ran up at the end to hand Lisa Dee the paper. We felt like SUCH cheaters, but just knew it would pay off!
Lovely Lisa Dee passed our cartoon along, and we were called to the final audition at the Wyndham Anatole. They were choosing contestants for two weeks worth of shows – one regular week and one “best friends week.” Of the 100 or so people who were there, 16 individuals and 16 pairs were chosen. That allows for five shows of three contestants and a standby in case someone gets sick or no-shows the day of taping.
At the final audition we had to take a test. Both partners had to pass the test in order to move on. This part made me nervous, because Michelle was the one with the awesome interview skills, but I was the one with the super puzzle-solving skills. We both passed. Those who weren’t sent home played mock rounds of game, complete with a little wheel and interviews about who you are, where you're from, and why you're best friends.
We must have done well because a few days later Michelle's extra-large cell phone rang. We were headed to Dallas for the show – as standbys. It was a bummer to be at the taping and not get to be on the show, but all standby contestants get to be on at a later date, so we eventually did get to be on Wheel of Fortune.

'Wheel of Fortune' contestants may be on a game show, but Pat Sajak is not playing around.
Fans of the show fixated on a stern look Sajak gave contestant Greg Wylie on Wednesday's episode after a playful conversation about Wylie's fencing hobby.
'It’s more Renaissance outfits and we do competitive fencing tournaments, you can do multiple players on the field,” Wylie said. 'So basically I go out on the weekend and stab my friends. So it’s very cathartic.'
© USAT 3/17/2005 --- Pat Sajak /Advice From the Top ---CULVER CITY, CA: Game show host Pat Sajak s investing money in the Golden Baseball League an independent professional baseball league. Photographed on the set of 'Wheel of Fortune' at Sony Studios in Culver City, CA. To the average person, who has seen the XFL and other pro sports leagues go under, it looks like Sajak has money to burn. He talks about why this is a good venture capital investment, and what separates risky money from plain stupid money. Photo by Robert Hanashiro, USA TODAY staff (Via MerlinFTP Drop)Sajak then changed the subject to talk about Wylie's wife of 14 years and their two daughters, 14 and 12 the latter of which who is 'basically a teenager now.'
'Well just stay on guard,” Sajak joked. “Fencing humor there.'
As Sajak was turning to a commercial break, Wylie jumped in and said 'I got the point.' The contestant's joke led Sajak to turn away from the camera and back to Wylie.

— Wheel of Fortune (@WheelofFortune) December 3, 2020Sajak's glare became the star of the show with many chiming in on Twitter about how his look had them 'floored.'
'@patsajak and @WheelofFortune that was the most amazing #bout I have ever seen!!! Couldn’t stop laughing,' tweeted @sarahdaly1177.
@patsajak the fencing guy was killing me. It was so funny.
— Dean (@gdf1811) December 3, 2020'I’m so glad someone captured this because I was laughing so hard,' tweeted @shleppy67.
'Pat about to lose it on this guy, again,' wrote @shleppy67 who was likely referring to Sajak's encounter with another contestant the week prior.
On a Nov. 25 episode of 'Wheel of Fortune,' Sajak jokingly went off on a contestant calling him 'ungrateful' and later apologized for doing so.
The moment happened when Darin McBain guessed the word 'kitchen oven' correctly but was confused by the term.
'Kitchen oven? What was that?' McBain said. 'Who calls it a kitchen oven?'
'You won, don't argue, Darin! You got the puzzle,' Sajak said. 'Ungrateful players, I've had it!'
Sajak later apologized to McBain saying: 'I'm sorry I yelled at you, Darin. I just don't remember your mother giving us trouble like you did.'

According to Yahoo! and Good Housekeeping, McBain's mother was a contestant on the game show in 1982.
