It was a thrilling episode of 'Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune', and this was just the premiere. The series premiere of 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' featured Leslie Jones, Chandra Wilson and Tony Hawk.

According to the official synopsis of the game show, this spin-off of 'Wheel of Fortune' "welcomes celebrity contestants to come spin the world's most famous wheel and solve word puzzles for a chance to win up to $1 million. All of the money won by the celebrity contestants will go to a charity of their choice."

Jones will be playing for Feeding America, Wilson will play for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Hawk for Feeding San Diego. Jones, Chandra and Hawk are no strangers to the entertainment industry, but you can acquaint yourselves with them right here, once again. 

And, Hawk won, or rather "murdered" the game as fans put it. Moreover, fans were most stunned to find out his age... which is 52. Twitter exploded with reactions and we bring to you the choicest ones. Some of them are also excited to know where he will donate his big win. Hawk will be donating to the charity, Feed San Diego, which is from his hometown. 

"Nice work @tonyhawk!!! Big Win on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune for Feeding San Diego! #CelebrityWheelOfFortune #feedingsandiego #tonyhawk #americasfinestcity," one tweeted.

"Reviewing @ABC's Winter Fun&Games: #CelebrityWheelofFortune: Did we really need a celebrity version of Wheel? It's ok. Tony Hawk is old now. B #TheChase: Trivia w/ Jeopardy champ banter. A #TheHustler: It's like Craig Ferguson is hosting a Jackbox/Mafia hybrid. Not bad somehow?" one wrote.

Others couldn't believe that he is 52 years old. "Holy crap Tony Hawk is 52 years old! #CelebrityWheelOfFortune,"one tweeted. "ALSO HOW IS TONY HAWK OVER 50 YEARS OLD?! I feel old AF. #CelebrityWheelOfFortune," a user questioned. "Tony Hawk was not that old," a user wrote.

Others enjoyed the show and wrote, "In entertainment news: #CelebrityWheelofFortune is more entertaining than the regular version that's run for last 100 years. Most of any witty dialogue on latter falls apart without having a crazed comedian to balance the universe."
