The longtime announcer for Wheel of Fortune, Jim Thornton, is currently serving a suspension from the popular game show. As reported by TMZ, producer Sony Pictures Television confirmed the development regarding the broadcaster, who has been a staple of the program since 2010.
This situation stems from an incident that occurred on a commercial flight back in May. A passenger reportedly voiced concerns about Thornton to a flight attendant during the trip. The pilot reportedly contacted ground authorities to ensure that law enforcement was waiting for Thornton when the plane reached the gate.
