Lykkehjulet  Lykkehjulet is the Danish version of the "Wheel of Fortune" television game show. Airing in 1988, the show was the first big American game show to be imported to Denmark  and it was one of the first successes for Danish broadcaster TV2 when it became Denmark's second TV channel in 1988. The show originally used the "shopping" format of the American program in which winnings were used to buy studios prizes, such as furniture, appliances, and trips. In later years the format was changed to reflect the American version of all-cash winnings. The host during the first season was Michael Meyerheim with Pia Dresner as the letter-turning co-host. Thereafter, the show was hosted by Bengt Burg from 1989 to 2000, with a short stint by Keld Heick during the 1996-1997 season. The final season in 2001 season was hosted by Lars Herlow. The letter-turning co-hosts were Carina Jensen (1989–1994) and Maria Hirse (1995–2001). The show's announcers during the run of the program were Ole Jacobsen, then Henrik Hannibal and later, Dennis Johannesson. The show ran for 3,599 episodes until it was cancelled in 2001 due to declining viewership and a failed attempt at modernizing the format in the final year. There were several details which were unique to the Danish version of "Wheel of Fortune". The opening theme to the program was an original composition composed by Jesper Ranum. The multi-colored wheel had 22 wedges (each with 4 pegs) instead of the 24 wedges of the American show, and value amounts originally ranged from 100 to 1,500 kroner (2,500 starting in round 2 in 1989) to be used for shopping purposes. The podiums followed a blue-red-yellow pattern, as it did for several other foreign adaptions. Beginning in 1990, the top value was 3,000 kr. in Round 1 then 5,000 kr. from Round 2 onwards. By 1999, the top value was 5,000 kr. in every round. In 1999, the Fallit/10,000/Fallit wedge would be placed on the wheel in the third round with the 10,000 section being treated as a regular space. In 2001, the top values were 2,500 points in round one, 7,500 in rounds two and three and 10,000 between two "garbage cans" in round four.
