Gerry Scotti receives Telegatto award on La Ruota della Fortuna

During a special episode of the game show La Ruota della Fortuna on November 5, 2026, host Gerry Scotti was presented with the Telegatto award by Aldo Vitali, director of Tv, Sorrisi e Canzoni. Scotti dedicated the recognition to the approximately 100 staff members working behind the scenes, describing them as talented young professionals.

During the broadcast, Scotti also shared reflections on the disparity between the large sums of money awarded on game shows and real-world economic conditions. He noted that while the program provides dreams and significant prizes, it is important to keep feet on the ground and remain aware of the daily financial realities faced by the public.
