Two UW-Madison students will be featured on this week's Wheel of Fortune College Week.""
Kelly Clinton-Cirocco, a UW-Madison junior, will be on Tuesday's show, and Nick LaMantia, a UW-Madison senior, will be on Thursday's show.
LaMantia said he filled out a contestant application online and later auditioned in Chicago over winter break.
""I'm good with words and always did crossword puzzles,"" he said. ""I don't think I would make it on 'Jeopardy!' or anything that's too much trivia.""
Clinton-Cirocco said her mom signed her up for the show.
""It was a great experience - a lot of fun,"" she said, adding ""Wheel of Fortune"" is one of her favorite shows.
""My goal in life was to like get on 'Wheel of Fortune,'"" she said. ""I was just pumped that I got to meet Pat [Sajak].""
The episodes were taped in early March at Navy Pier in Chicago as part of a season-long celebration of the show's 25th anniversary.
""College Week"" is scheduled to air this week at 6:30 p.m. on WMTV Channel 15.
