Kijani wins BIG on Wheel - 15th Anniversary Special

15 years ago today (October 19, 2004) I fulfilled one of my life goals at the young age of 18 by becoming a contestant on the game show Wheel of Fortune. I practiced and prepared so much for many many years growing up for this moment, and somehow I was able to overcome the nerves, stay focused and dominate the show.
Always go after your dreams in life and with hard work, dedication and some luck you will be rewarded!

That one talking about the tennis court, I was like “Its Clay tennis court! Clay!” Glad you won and won big. NIce work!

[@KijaniLion]

Everyone in America was probably shouting at their TV screens lol. I'm the first to admit I was very fortunate to solve that one!

Congratulations on your big and this was cool I think your the 1st furry to be on a game show

[@KijaniLion]

Thanks! There have been several furries who have done well on game shows, most notably Bucktown Tiger who won 7 straight days and over $160,000 on Jeopardy. Since my episode was from 2004, I might have been one of the first!

[@spinosaurus2001]

Very cool!

[@triplecheezekitteh]

Wow that’s brilliant!! Congratulations!

[@robchuckle401]

OH wow Kijani has won millions of dollars on the big wheel of fortune congrats! 100% :)

[@jnuy764]

Cool!!! 💯😎💯💚💙

[@yabbaguy]

You know what? I would've lost the Bonus Round too by not saying the actual solution allowed. Seems like it means something a lot more perverse, lol. Your tendency to buy O's instead of E's was Odd, but you can't argue with success even years later. Leaves me hoping I can do just as well if I get a chance!

[@Tambako]

Is it right, in the US, many channels have a license for the Wheel of Fortune, also in 2004?

[@dinhductien2005]

Yes it is, as Wheel and Jeopardy! are syndicated game shows, which license to local channels

It was awesome! The contestant coordinators let me stop over in NYC to sightsee, then spend an extra day in London before the tour. Saw all the historical sights and Scotland’s beautiful countryside. Went with my mom and sister, unforgettable experience.
