How long is a live taping of Wheel of Fortune?

Answer 1

When shows are recorded at Wheel of Fortune Culver City Studio the Audience stays for more than a single episode and 5 or 6 episodes are split into two groups for the morning and afternoon audiences. It takes longer to record each half hour episode than the 20 minutes of Airtime the edited show will run without the commercials. There is no Live Wheel of Fortune as all episodes are digitally recorded and no longer taped with film. Each Audience is in the theater for about the same time it would take to watch a movie. I can find no information on how long the audience sits before and after taping , the length of the lunch break, or whether it is possible to be part of both audiences.

Tapings for the 2011-2012 season have concluded. Please check back in July for ticket information to next seasons shows
