LOS ANGELES -- Some favorites of "Wheel of Fortune" hosts Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest will be part of America's favorite game show this summer in a new round of "Celebrity Wheel of Fortune."

One game includes the World Champion L.A. Dodgers! Three Dodger fan favorites for its newest round of shows. You'll see Miguel Rojas, Freddie Freeman and Kiké Hernandez spinning that wheel - all for charity.

"We had so much fun with the Dodgers," said Seacrest. "A lot of laughs, a lot of fun, and imagine that, they were competitive!"

When the celebrities come on the show, they are as nervous - or maybe even more nervous - than the regular contestants.

"Absolutely!" White said. "They're in a place they're not familiar when they're here, and they've watched the show their whole life, it's like oh my gosh I'm on the set of 'Wheel of Fortune,' I'm so nervous!"

"And they win a lot of money for the organization they are playing for, so they put a lot of pressure on themselves," added Seacrest.

Seacrest says he enjoys the energy the celebs bring to the set - stars like Vanessa Lachey.

"She was fun. I don't know if she won a ton of money for her charity, but she was a good time. She was a lot of fun," said Seacrest. "Brian Austin Green, I worked with him when I was 19 years old on the original '90210.'"

Green directed Seacrest in that episode, where he played a game show host, back in 2000.

"Celebrity Wheel of Fortune" brings 10 all-new episodes exclusively to Disney+ and Hulu beginning Friday, June 12.
