Practice makes perfect and Retta<\/a> is here to prove it. The comedic actress and HGTV star is among the famous contestants competing on a new season of \u201cCelebrity Wheel of Fortune,\u201d with her episode premiering on October 3, 2025. <\/p>\n The \u201cUgliest House in America\u201d<\/a> host competes on the iconic game show against New Kids on the Block member Joey McIntyre<\/a> and actor Oliver Hudson<\/a> (also known for being Goldie Hawn\u2019s son and Kate Hudson\u2019s brother). In preview clips from the episode, she tells host Ryan Seacrest <\/a>that she watched lots of \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d in preparation, trying to solve each puzzle for practice. Did it help? <\/p>\n In a preview from Retta\u2019s episode released by ABC, it\u2019s clear that she\u2019s in the midst of doing pretty well on the show \u2014 even though she\u2019s feeling uneasy about it. <\/p>\n Seacrest is seen telling her, \u201cSo, I don\u2019t understand. You keep saying you\u2019re feeling sick about this, but you\u2019re solving all the puzzles.\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m not solving all the puzzles,\u201d Retta quips, and Seacrest counters, \u201cWell, you\u2019re solving a lot of the puzzles. You were doing major show prep for this, right? Watching some episodes?\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cParks & Recreation\u201d alum admits, \u201cI was. Yeah, I watched this week. I watched like this.\u201d <\/p>\n Retta then crouches down behind the famous wheel, and widens her eyes, looking like she\u2019s in game mode, studying the contestants\u2019 every move. <\/p>\n \u201cI was very (serious) getting ready,\u201d she sighs, before Seacrest asks if there were \u201cany takeaways\u201d from her studying. Retta cracks, \u201cThat I\u2019m not that good!\u201d <\/p>\n \u201cBut you are,\u201d Seacrest exclaims, and then Hudson asks, \u201cIf you\u2019re not that good, what am I?\u201d <\/p>\n Laughing, she quips, \u201cYou\u2019re the worst!\u201d <\/p>\n On \u201cCelebrity Wheel of Fortune,\u201d now in its sixth season, stars can win up to $1 million for their favorite charities. <\/p>\n In the fall of 2024, Seacrest took over hosting duties from longtime host Pat Sajak on the daily version of \u201cWheel of Fortune,\u201d with co-host Vanna White by his side. Sajak remained on \u201cCelebrity Wheel of Fortune\u201d for one last season, though, so this is Seacrest\u2019s first time hosting the primetime version. <\/p>\n So far, so good. The season six premiere \u2014 featuring \u201cDancing With The Stars\u201d cast members Jenna Johnson, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli \u2014 scored the primetime game show its biggest ratings in two years, according to ABC. <\/p>\n
