Liz and KC Wright, a mother-son duo, captured the hearts of Wheel of Fortune viewers around the country with their outstanding performance on Tuesday’s episode. This year’s “Home for the Holidays” week required participants to work together with a family member. Liz, 92, won the battle, taking home almost $65,000 in cash and a tropical vacation to Antigua.KC revealed that she spent the first 88 years of her childhood in Oklahoma with his father before introducing his mother.
They traversed the world for 62 years, visiting 100 countries across seven continents. He died, so she moved down to live with him five years ago. He also mentioned that Mom taught him how to use a spoon, do everything, and watch Wheel of Fortune for the first 18 years of his life. And during the previous five years, he’s been able to try to repay her.
In the bonus round, the pair won $25,000 and a trip to the Caribbean by solving riddles like “The Adventure of a Lifetime” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” When Liz finished the “Drizzled Honey” food and drink challenge, co-host Pat Sajak revealed that her solution had added $40,000 to the pot, bringing the total to $65,000 in cash and a vacation.
“OK, do you think your dad would be proud of us?” Liz questioned her kid as she and KC praised their impressive accomplishments. When the program ended, Sajak complimented Liz on her outstanding performance. “Well, you played extremely well, and it was a great honor to have you here,” commented the departing host, aged 77. “We appreciate you continuing to watch. And stay in touch, okay?”
In a TikTok video reminiscing about her run, White, 66, described how her performance had affected her heart.”Liz, I have something to tell you,” she explained. “In 41 years, you have been my favorite show.” You brought so much to the show!” “It couldn’t happen without you,” Liz stated. “No, it couldn’t happen without you,” White declared strongly.
