Sajak said Celebrity Wheel of Fortune will be played the same as the regular game but have a different vibe.
'We've jazzed up the set a bit, made it look a little more prime-timey, whatever that means. And it's going to be a different kind of vibe,' Sajak shared.
'We want [the contestants] to play a good, solid game, but we're mainly there to have fun. It'll be a little lighter in attitude,' he added.
Wheel Of Fortune To Enter Daily
Sajak said the Celebrity version was a long time coming but that the timing seemed right 'because of what's going on in the world.'
'Wheel of Fortune is kind of a sign of normalcy for people; they were very glad to have us back on the air. So this seemed like a good time to expand into primetime a little bit, at least one time, and extend that normalcy,' he said.
Thursday's episode will feature Jones, Hawk and Chandra Wilson. ABC shared a teaser for the episode Wednesday that shows Hawk about to solve a puzzle.

Wheel Of Fortune Game
The Wheel of Fortune, or Rota Fortunae, is a concept in medieval and ancient philosophy and means the unpredictable nature of Fate. The wheel belongs to the goddess Fortuna, who spins it at random, changing the positions of those on the wheel - some suffer great misfortune, others gain windfalls.
Origins[change change source]
The concept developed in antiquity; it was used by Cicero. The Wheel originally belonged to the Roman goddess Fortuna, whose name seems to derive from Vortumna, 'she who revolves the year'. Fortuna eventually became Christianized: the Roman philosopher Boethius (d. 524) was a major source for the medieval view of the Wheel, writing about it in hisConsolatio Philosophiae.
Carmina Burana[change change source]
The Wheel of Fortune motif appears significantly in the Carmina Burana (or Burana Codex), over one thousand poems and songs — often profane in content — written by students and clergy in the early 13th century. Excerpts from two of the collection's better known poems, 'Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (Fortune, Empress of the World)' and 'Fortune Plango Vulnera (I Bemoan the Wounds of Fortune),' read:The concept developed in antiquity; it was used by Cicero. The Wheel originally belonged to the Roman goddess Fortuna, whose name seems to derive from Vortumna, 'she who revolves the year'.

Later usage[change change source]
Fortune and her Wheel have remained an enduring image throughout history.
William Shakespeare in Hamlet wrote of the 'slings and arrows of outrageous fortune' and, of fortune personified, to 'break all the spokes and fellies from her wheel.' And in Henry V, Act 3 Scene VI, are the lines:
Selections from the Carmina Burana, including the two poems quoted above, were set to new music by twentieth-century classical composer Carl Orff, whose bombastic and well-known 'O Fortuna' is based on the poem Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi.
Fortuna does occasionally turn up in modern literature. She is often associated with gamblers, and dice could also be said to have replaced the Wheel as the primary metaphor for uncertain fortune.
