At the end of a recent show, Pat and I discussed how leopard print never goes out of style. Who knew he was wearing some hidden leopard print of his own?

This gorgeous gown was designed by Joanna Mastroianni.

FAQ

Many fans ask me similar questions. Read below to get the scoop on those things you've always wondered when watching Wheel!


  • Do you get to keep your clothes?
  • No, they are returned to the designers after I wear them. Find out more and view a photo of my dressing room here.

  • Have you ever worn the same dress twice?
  • No, I've worn a different outfit on all 5,000 shows!

  • What's your favorite city to visit on the road with Wheel?
  • I think each city has something special to offer, which I enjoy, but being in Hawaii is probably my favorite because we tape our show outdoors.

  • I exercise at least five days a week. I spin, run, lift weights, do sit-ups and push-ups and practice yoga. You can get details on my fitness routine here.

  • Do you diet?
  • No, but I do try and watch what I eat. I don't go back for seconds and I'll have a sliver of a piece of pie instead of two pieces!

  • When do you learn the solutions to the puzzles?
  • I don't learn the solutions to the puzzles until right before each round. I go behind the puzzleboard where there is a graph with the puzzles laid out for me to review.

  • No, I love the new high-tech look of the puzzleboard.
