Squeal of Fortune title
Patplayjacks

Squeal of Fortune is a Sesame Street game show spoofing Wheel of Fortune, first airing in Season 18. (First: Episode 2331)

Hosted by Pat Playjacks (with hostess Velma Blank), the contestants for the game are Count von Count and Prairie Dawn. The players each take a turn spinning the wheel and must correctly guess how many squeals the pig situated in the center will make as he spins. The Count ends up victorious and picks the prize of the pig.

Notes[]

  • In the original script, the sketch ended with the pig speaking in protest of being chosen as the prize. As the Count chases it around the studio, an eel and seal appear, volunteering to take the pig's place.[2]
  • The music used in the segment would later be utilized for the "Dreidel of Fortune" sketch in the Shalom Sesame "Chanukah" episode.
