Its conclusion was chosen by the Mediaset Group due to the excessive cost of the rights (EUR 4,000 per episode) of the original American format Wheel of Fortune and the large drop in audience suffered by the last edition. At the end, just before the toast, Bongiorno thanked all collaborators. For the occasion, also the ex-competition judge Alvise Borghi was present in the studio. Unfortunately Bongiorno had to give up the presence of Illy Reale, who died in 1993 due to a car accident. Written by Lorenz-pictures See less
