Recent OSU graduate to spin the big wheel on Wheel of Fortune
Thursday, June 3, 2010
Bowman graduated from OSU with a bachelor’s in elementary education and served on
the executive committee of “America’s Greatest Homecoming Celebration” her junior
and senior years. She is also a member of the OSU Alumni Association.
“I had always loved watching Wheel of Fortune with my family,” Bowman said. “I actually
went to an open audition in Harrah last October as a stress reliever before Homecoming!”
After the open audition, Bowman and one hundred others were called back to Oklahoma
City to participate in several more mock rounds of the game, which Bowman performed
well in. In late December, she received the call she’d been waiting for.
“They told me I’d be on sometime in the next eighteen months,” Bowman said. “In February,
they called again and said I had two weeks to get to L.A. to tape. The entire experience
was amazing!”
Wheel of Fortune airs weekday nights at 6:30 p.m. on KOCO-5 in Oklahoma City, KJRH-2
in Tulsa and KAUZ-6 in Lawton. Tune in Friday to see how Bowman did spinning the big
wheel.
