Get ready for an exciting new game show that will be packed with excitement and an amazing prize. Spin The Wheel is set to launch on FOX June 20th and will be hosted by actor Dax Shepard "who looks very cute in his game show hosting debut in my eyes" will feature contestants trying to spin a wheel very similar to the wheel on California Lottery's classic game show The Big Spin for a chance at a big money jackpot. Spin The Wheel will be produced by Justin Timberlake who will also perform the theme song and appear on the show as well. While it may seem like a new version of The Big Spin I think FOX will have a game show winner on their hands if Spin The Wheel is a smash hit and since I'm a Justin Timberlake fan it never surprised me that Justin "Branch" knows a lot about game shows and if Spin The Wheel turns out to be great Dax Shepard might replace Chris Harrison as my new game show crush. I also think Summer 2019 might turn into the Summer Of Game Shows because of all the newest game shows like Spin The Wheel that may be huge hits

I have feeling that it will take one of the ABC's Summer Fun & Game shows the very same night.

I'm watching Spin The Wheel on FOX right now and I think FOX will have a hit on their hands but I find it to be a knockoff of The Big Spin that the California Lottery used to have but with some elements of Press Your Luck and Double Dare. Take for instance the wheel has a wedge called Back To Zero and I can see that this wedge will cause the contestants to lose easily. Another thing that Spin The Wheel has is that they have taken an element from Deal Or No Deal which they offer contestants cash offers called Walk Aways where the contestants can decide to walk away or not. But I cannot see how this show will survive especially when it has Justin Timberlake producing it. But hopefully if Spin The Wheel survives for another season FOX will improve it a lot more. On Dax Shepard as host of Spin The Wheel I think he's talented in his game show debut and full of humor and is a joy to watch and not to mention very cool and cute and you can bet that I'll have lots of Dax Shepard photos on my bedroom wall of my new house when I move in. But all and all Spin The Wheel seems like a solid hit but could be in need of dire improvements for next season

Hi, Bestie! I watched the show. It was pretty good. The host is kind of boring though. I will be watching more episodes and see if it clicks for me.

I have watched three episodes of Spin The Wheel on FOX and I LOVE it and it has been very exciting for me to watch and even Mom loves Spin The Wheel too. I found it shocking that today's contestant started out having a rocky road by winning small amounts on the wheel but I was shocked to see he went Back To Zero even though he had two chances to win the million had he landed on one of the Million wedges but it was a great episode. I think Spin The Wheel has replaced Who Wants To Be A Millionaire as my new favorite game show and Dax Shepard has replaced Chris Harrison as my new game show crush and I hope Dax gets more game shows because he's talented but with a little more improvement he has a great start to being a superstar in game shows. In fact Mom wanted to watch Green Acres on METV instead of Spin The Wheel when I told Mom "I want to see Dax right now" and so Mom turned on Spin The Wheel and she loved it too. I think I plan to audition for Spin The Wheel when the show plans a second season because it would be very cool to play and being next to Dax Shepard would be even cooler

I notice every one of these shows are 1 hour. I see the new game shows and think back to the 1950-1970's game shows where the host ISN'T hollering. John Charles Daly Garry Moore, Allen Ludden all had 30 minutes shows and the hosts were classy.
