Wheel of Fortune Voice Under Fire | Dayton News

Jim Thornton, the iconic voice of “Wheel of Fortune,” is on hold after Sony Pictures Television launched an investigation into serious allegations. The incident reportedly unfolded at LAX, where authorities were called to meet his arriving flight — prompted by a passenger’s tip — and Thornton, wearing his show jacket, was questioned before being released. American Airlines confirmed law enforcement was present due to safety concerns. Thornton, who took over from Charlie O’Donnell in 2011 and has anchored the show for over a decade, is now sidelined as Sony scrambles to find a replacement. Details remain scarce, but fans are bracing for a major change in the game’s signature voice. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
