“Wheel of Fortune” got a big serving of Alabama on Tuesday night.

Meridianville resident Chris Wiley was on the venerable gameshow, competing against Oakton, Virginia’s Denise Zinzi and Torrance, California’s Yumemi Turk.

Opening the show, Wiley correctly guessed the episode’s first “toss up” phrase: “MORNING CUP OF COFFEE.”

As it goes on the show, “Wheel” host Ryan Seacrest then engaged the contestants in some light between-play banter.

He asked Wiley, “So you get on these cooking kicks, I hear. Tell me about it.” Wiley replied, “So down in the South, we love pinto beans. And I make a mean pot of some 48-hour pinto beans.”

Seacrest, the slick and likable “American Idol” host who took over for “Wheel” legend Pat Sajak in September, quipped, “That’s a lot of time commitment for a side dish.”

Wiley answered, “ Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Not a side dish. It’s the main dish.”

To which Seacrest said to the audience, “I’m glad he’s way over there,” mischievously referring to beans’ flatulent properties.

Later during the game’s speed-up round, Wiley solved the phrase “THIS COULD TAKE ALL NIGHT,” winning $12,600.

Seacrest moseyed around the show’s signature spinning wheel to shake Wiley’s hand.

He then asked Wiley, “Are you ‘Roll Tide’ or ‘War Eagle’?” in reference to University of Alabama’s interstate collegiate rivalry with Auburn University.

Wiley said, “Roll Tide all the way.” Seacrest, who attended University of Georgia, abruptly shot back “Go Dawgs,” before returning to his host’s spot across the wheel.

Earlier in the show, Wiley had a chance to show his football fandom bona fides. During the triple toss-up round for the category of “thing,” the screen display — still overseen by beloved “Wheel” co-host Vanna White — filled out to reveal “O V E _ T I M E.”

Wiley buzzed in. His guess: “OVENTIME.” But the correct answer was “OVERTIME.”

Wiley’s friends, especially the football fans among them, probably won’t let him forget that one soon. But hey, he’s been on “Wheel Of Fortune,” and we haven’t.

Wiley’s winnings on the show totaled $15,600. Unfortunately, that was only good enough for second place, ahead of the dollar-less Zinzi. Turk was the episode’s runaway winner with $37,950.

Alabama fans have previously expressed their Crimson Time love with a “Roll Tide” on “Wheel.” In September, Montgomery resident Kim Lige did so on an episode in which she took home $63,990 in cash and prizes.
