Wheel Of Fortune is another massive, long-running gameshow. The show debuted in 1975 with the original host, Chuck Woolery doing the daytime run and Pat Sajak doing the night. The show was highly successful and remains popular even to this day.

Woolery's run went from the show's debut all the way until 1981 when he departed and passed the show to Pat Sajak. Woolery's run, as well as early Sajak daytime episodes,  was repeatedly taped over to create room for new episodes.
No known episodes of Chuck Woolery episodes of Wheel of Fortune are known to exist in their entirety.
