Read a copy of the interview below, or watch it in the video player above. Some responses were released for clarity.
Will Duberi: I feel as if when I entered the room, I smiled immediately on our faces. So I am very excited for this.
Gregory Harrington: Thank you, man. I feel energy even returning when we photographed it in March. But it is great to be a week away. I am excited so far.
Affiri Travis: I bet every day. Well, so we know this actually coincides with a really big teacher in your life. So people told how all fate gathered to achieve this.
Harrington: A very short story, it reached March 50 on March 6, and I received a phone call about a week ago and that was, “Hey, I Aaron of the Calm”. I was about to go and talk about the black history program, so I got out of the screen. You are like, let’s get the details. He says, well, I say, well, I have an event from March 1 to 5 March, the Dominican Republic. So if after that, we are good. He said that on March 7, I said: “Put me into the coach. Put me into the coach. Lock it.” So I literally returned on March 5 from the Dominican Republic. He screams to my girlfriend, who has already planned for this great event. Then in sixth place, I went to Los Angeles and filming the show on March 7. So I encourage everyone to jump, jump, jump and progress. It is a great experience. Do you know? namely? They want the character.
Duberi: Was “the wheel of luck” something you had seen or always dreamed of? Talk to us about it.
Harrington: I don’t see it all the time, but there is one of these random times that I was literally watching, and I say, let me see what it takes. It was five minutes at most. In more than five minutes, and contacted me about a month later, we performed the first test, all on the zoom. Everything is on zooming. After that after a week, it should be like what they liked first, the first test, then we went deeper, then I received the call on February 25 to be in the filming on March 7. So she walked quickly, and I am happy to be there. I can not tell you all of what is happening. You go on April 23.
Duberi: How was this, when entering the group after watching it even several times through your life?
Harrington: Super surreal. I think the main thing is, as you see this on TV, and I almost see yourself wanting to be it, but just because there is a fact with Vanna [White] And with Ryan [Seacrest] Spinning the wheel is a completely different experience, man. So I only smile from ear to ear. Now, so that I cannot tell you all the results, but you want to control them, man. You want to adjust it. This is what I am trying to say. As I say, “put me in the coach.”
Travis: Here is the thing on TV, we call this to be a hand, and this is one of the best excitement that I have ever heard. Well, we want people to know you a little better, even when they see the show, they feel investment. You are from here in the middle of Texas. Give us some of your backgrounds.
Harrington: I was born and brought up in Louisiana. I have been here since 1997 from school from Jackson State University, here because of IBM, spent many years, even in Dell. Here you were like June, it will be 28 years old. So I was here for a longer period than you were in Louisiana. So I live in Pflugerville, so I shout to P-Ville. You definitely want to give love for that. We will make a monitoring party in Pflugerville specifically. So you want to get out of Cajun eating south, there is behind Tinseltown. We will have a party, man. I mean, why not? You are doing this only once. You just reached 50 times. You are only on “Wheel of Fortune” once, but I want to touch on it, because as much as you want to be in the offer, they want the energy to offer as well. To apply. A man, applies. I mean, at the end of the day, whether you are good in solving puzzles or not, I think it is entertaining, do you know what I mean? It is entertaining. So they want energy. They want some character. So you only get the test. Say, I just want to solve the puzzle. You will not be chosen, brother. You will not be chosen. This has already happened, one of the other players, that was on the test with me. Therefore, I don’t think he chose. So give a little energy. I mean, you don’t have to have appeared, but you got a reason to join it. I am 50 years old, I had a great week and the gift continues to give, man. So, even be in the show today, thank you very much. But it is similar to that it is just a gift that continues to give. The celebration is 50 years old. What a way to close this week, right?
Travis: Oh, my God. We are very proud. We will be rooted for you. We cannot wait to find out the result.
