Wheel of Fortune introduced some big changes on Monday’s (September 12) premiere of its milestone 40th season, and fans have mixed opinions. Among the new looks was a brand new puzzle board. The original version of the show, which premiered in 1975, had a puzzle board where co-host Vanna White had to flip the letter tiles manually. This was updated to a digital board in 2013, with host Pat Sajak saying, “The new board… it’s heat-activated if you will.” Now, the latest board is even more advanced, even using technology that was used on the Mars rover. “The technology behind how Vanna interacts with it is something that’s used in self-driving cars. It’s used on the Mars rover… so now we can put up our logo or any graphics we want to; we can also change it [back] to the puzzle board,” said the show’s executive producer Bellamie Blackstone.
