Wheel of Fortune Announcer Fired After Alleged Flight Incident | Dayton News

Jim Thornton, the longtime voice of “Wheel of Fortune,” has been abruptly let go after an investigation into allegations that surfaced following a May flight incident—where he allegedly viewed disturbing content on his device. Suspended just days before his firing, Thornton’s legal team claims he accidentally accessed a site meant for suicide prevention, mistaking it for a harmful link. The airline pilot reportedly alerted authorities before landing. Sony confirmed his exit without revealing details, leaving fans to wonder who’ll fill his iconic shoes as the show kicks off its new season September 14.
