An Alabama educator who went viral in 2020 with a parody video of “U Can’t Touch This” is set to take a spin on “Wheel of Fortune.” Quentin J. Lee, superintendent of Talladega City Schools, will appear on the syndicated game show on Thursday’s episode.

Lee, who lives in Oxford, was the principal at Childersburg High School when he created the much-watched clip, which lampooned the MC Hammer hit and encouraged students to stay healthy during the coronavirus pandemic.

Now he’s in the spotlight again, trying his luck and testing his skills on national TV. This is “European Vacation Week” on “Wheel of Fortune,” according to a press release for the series. Lee and other contestants will be spinning the show’s famous wheel and attempting to solve hangman-style puzzles. They’ll be vying for trips to European countries, new cars and cash prizes.

“Quentin started watching ‘Wheel of Fortune’ with his grandmother when he was little and continues to watch every day with his wife and kids,” the press release says. “His kids convinced him to apply, and he is grateful for the opportunity to be on the show and show his kids and students that ‘anything is achievable.’ With any winnings, Quentin plans to make some donations to multiple churches that serve his community and fulfill lifelong dream to construct his own ‘man-cave.’

Lee has a doctorate in educational leadership from Samford University, according to his website, and a master’s degree in instructional leadership from Samford. He earned a bachelor’s degree in instrumental music education from Alabama A&M University. He’s also an educational consultant.

“Quentin loves to help and assist students in the field of education and advocates children to make a positive impact on their community,” the release continues. “His other passion is marching bands. He played the tuba in high school and college, marching at Jacksonville State University and eventually becoming the band director at Talladega County Central High School.”

Lee is married to Anita C. Lee, a physical therapist and health and wellness coach. The couple has three children, Kiesha, Cass and Aniya.

There’s no word yet on how Lee fares on “Wheel of Fortune,” which airs weeknights at 6:30 p.m. CT in Alabama. In the Birmingham area, the show can be seen on ABC 33/40. In the Huntsville area, it’s on NBC affiliate WAFF 48. In the Mobile area, it’s on Fox 10. (Search here for various Alabama stations that air “Wheel of Fortune,” using zip codes.)

Lee isn’t the only Alabama contestant to appear on “Wheel of Fortune” this year. In April, Tomia Gordon, a student at Alabama A&M, took home $31,700 in cash and prizes during “College Week Spring Break.” Lydia Patterson, a student at Auburn University, won $5,000 on another episode that week.

Octavia Kelly of Tuscaloosa competed on the show in February, according to ABC 33/40. So did Huntsville firefighter Luke Copeland, according to WAFF 48. Others Alabama people who gave “Wheel” a whirl include Royal Bruckno of Mentone (2015), Meoshe Williams of Mobile (2014), Cande Sanders of Pinson (2013) and Dorothy Forsyth of Jasper (2013).

Pat Sajak and Vanna White are the longtime hosts of “Wheel of Fortune,” which was founded in 1975 by Merv Griffin. Ryan Seacrest is set to replace Sajak when he retires, and will be at the helm starting with the 2024-2025 season.
