The bigger problem right now is that "Wheel" has been running on autopilot for some time now. "Jeopardy!"'s avoided it, thanks to finding some colorful (and young) contestants who get the social media buzz and are good players. It would still seem to me that this will be the last extension for at least "Wheel," but I've said that before several times in the last 15 years or so.
