Wheel 2000 (also known as Wheel of Fortune 2000) is a children's version of the American game show Wheel of Fortune, produced by Scott Sternberg Productions and Columbia TriStar Television (and the last version of Wheel of any sort to air on daytime network television). The show was created by Scott Sternberg and was hosted by David Sidoni, with Tanika Ray providing voice work and motion capture for a virtual reality hostess named "Cyber Lucy".[2]
The show premiered on September 13, 1997, on CBS, aired as part of the network's attempt to meet the then-new E/I mandates during its Saturday morning block, and ran through February 7, 1998, with repeats continuing through September 26. Game Show Network broadcast Wheel 2000's episodes concurrently with their airings on CBS. It was taped at Sony Pictures Studios.
On June 8, 2023, Sony Pictures Television announced that another kids version of Wheel is in development.[3]
