Chris Kanakis was crew at the Wheel of Fortune’s “Wheelmobile Tour” casting call Hunt Valley, MD event! Where he performed a variety of task ranging from production assistant/crew setting up and breaking down the sound stage (in record breaking heat temps), handing out casting applications and assisting with line flow. This was a very unique event because it was also a promo event as well so he also performed Brand Ambassador tasks such as handing out promo items and running the photo booth too. The photo below are from this mega 3 day gig. The pics in the orange shirt are from stage set up day and as you can see Fox 45 stopped by and Chris Kanakis got to take some fun photos with Fox 45 Baltimore news anchor Shelley Orman! click image to enlarge:
