Gerry Scotti hints at touring 'La Ruota della Fortuna' in Italian public squares

During the May 18 episode of the popular Italian game show ‘La Ruota della Fortuna,’ host Gerry Scotti told viewers he is considering taking the show on the road, staging it in public squares across Italy. He acknowledged the logistical and safety challenges of transporting and assembling the large wheel on location, but said the idea is being explored.

Co‑host Samira Lui briefly disappeared backstage during the same broadcast, prompting a light‑hearted comment from Scotti. She quickly returned after handling prize logistics, and the incident did not affect the show’s proceedings. The episode also saw dentist Alice from Varese win a modest prize of €100.

‘La Ruota della Fortuna’ regularly attracts more than five million nightly viewers, and the proposed outdoor tour could deepen audience engagement if it moves forward.
