Wheel of Fortune began airing its final compilation week of the season, "Sixth Episode Week V," on May 25, 2026. As the long-running game show wraps up another year of puzzle-solving, its contestants are still leaving a lasting impression on viewers—sometimes in highly unexpected ways.
On the comedy podcast Bad Friends, comedian Doc Willis shared a funny family anecdote about a recent contestant on the show. Willis revealed that his sister texted him a photo of a champion who had been on a major winning streak, claiming the contestant looked exactly like him.
According to Willis, his sister sent the photo with a text saying, "Every time I watch, it reminds me of you." The comparison caught the comedian completely off guard, prompting him to laughingly exclaim, "What the..." as he processed the unlikely lookalike.
As Wheel of Fortune transitions into its summer reruns and gears up for its next season, fans will undoubtedly keep scanning the contestant podiums for more familiar faces and uncanny lookalikes.
