I’m not one of those naysayers who think all modern cars look alike or what-not, but sometimes it feels difficult getting excited about an increasingly monolithic, globalized industry. Yet I guarantee I’d be excited if I could win any car on a game show. What if it was a Corvette? Tonight, on May 15, you’ll be able to bear witness to a Wheel of Fortune contestant winning a 2026 C8 donated by none other than Jay Leno.
This week has been “Big Money Week” at the veteran game show. Earlier, on Monday, Leno and the illustrious Vanna White announced that a 2026 Chevrolet Corvette would be the grand prize for the show’s Big Money Week tournament. “All five winners from this week’s show will return for a bonus round face-off, after which the winning contestant will be awarded the car,” according to USA Today.
Certainly, a C8 Corvette is a big-money item, listing at around $70,000. It will be one of over 600 cars given away by the game show since its inception in 1975, but we bet none have been as cool as this one.
To discover who the lucky winner is, be sure to tune your television tonight for the Wheel of Fortune Big Money Week tournament finale.
