Wheel of Fortune, Gerry apologizes: This is what happened

Why did Tuesday's episode of Wheel of Fortune start without Samira? Scotti surprises everyone with an apology

Gerry Scotti opened the episode The Wheel of Fortune differently than usual. In the April 7 episode, the conductor he took a few minutes to return to a phrase said in recent days.

An unexpected moment, especially for those used to the light pace of the program.

What really happened

It all stems from a previous episode, when Gerry Scotti had commented on the situation of teachers in Italy, also speaking about the role of support, a phrase that did not go unnoticed and which sparked several controversies, especially on social media and by some associations. The point wasn't so much what it meant, but how it was said. And the discussion started from there.

In the following days the host had already tried to clarify his position online, talking about words "superficial” and explaining about Don't want to be disrespectful to anyone.

The apology live (and the reaction in the studio)

In the April 7 episode, however, Gerry Scotti decided to take a step further, immediately after the presentation of the guests, even before Samira went down the stairs, Scotti apologized: "I was wrong”.

The race and the new champion

After the opening, you return to the game. The match went on as always between strokes of luck and some unexpected events, with Easter that he tries to maintain control of the situation to confirm the champion title.

In the end, however, it was Miriam who took the spotlight. Diventando la nuova campionessa nella fase finale, e portando a casa un montepremi totale di 30mila euro.
