Squeal of Fortune

Squeal of Fortune is a Sesame Street game show spoofing Wheel of Fortune, first airing in Season 18. 
Hosted by Pat Playjacks (with hostess Velma Blank), the contestants for the game are Count von Count and Prairie Dawn. The players each take a turn spinning the wheel and must correctly guess how many squeals the pig situated in the center will make as he spins. The Count ends up victorious and picks the prize of the pig.
