NBC Spins ‘The Wheel,’ Celebs Build LEGOS, Cooking Tips from Mary Berry

The Wheel

Not to be confused with the Pat Sajak–Vanna White TV tradition, this raucous game/quiz show, a hit in the UK, imports giddy host/comedian Michael McIntyre to lead a two-week takeover. (Episodes air this week through Friday at 10/9c, and next week at 8/7c.) It’s a noisy affair, with music pounding as six celebrity “experts” spin around a contestant who’s placed in the center of a 42-foot-wide circle. Where it stops, no one knows—but whoever the wheel lands on must answer a question in a designated category, whether it’s their specialty or not. (On opening night, the subjects range from Greek food, classic movies and late-night hosts to elections.) First-night guests, all grinning good sports, include rocker Mark McGrath, chef Cat Cora, Yellowjackets scene-stealer Christina Ricci, late-night host Amber Ruffin, flamboyant singer Todrick Hall and political analyst Steve Kornacki.

Mary Berry’s Ultimate Christmas

The beloved cookbook author and The Great British Baking Show judge leads viewers through a taste-tempting how-to guide for preparing the perfect holiday feast. She visits fellow chefs for a glimpse at Italian and Samoan twists on favorite foods, but Mary’s own menu is mostly traditional: a stilton and sage mini-scone canapé starter, lemon and herb roast turkey as main course with crispy roast potatoes, ruby red cabbage and apricot-chestnut stuffing as trimmings. For dessert: a British Christmas Pudding of dried fruit, nuts and boozy cream followed by a festive trifle of custard, cream, sponge cake and pear, topped with spun sugar. If you’re not already drooling, check your pulse.
