* Played with on ''[[Late Night]]'', where Jimmy Fallon has the wheel of carpet samples. The carpet sample names are often very descriptive (for example "hotel lobby"). There are supposedly "points" awarded based on the carpet sample the wheel lands on, but these are arbitrary. The wheel only chooses the carpet sample the audience member/player may get if he/she "wins".
* In [[FOX]]'s pseudo-reality show ''My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss'' (a parody of ''[[The Apprentice (TV series)|The Apprentice]]''), the [[Man Behind the Man]], who makes the decisions on who gets fired, is a monkey with a decision wheel.
* In [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] and [[WCW]], Eric Bishoff instigated a Wheel of Fortune which would decide the [[Gimmick Matches]] wrestlers would be involved in. "Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal" in WCW, "WWE Roulette" in WWE.
* ''[[Lexx]]'': Episode 1.3, "Eating Pattern". The people controlled by the Satellite Worms incorporated a spinning wheel in their sadistic pattern-making ritual.
* Some seasons of ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'' have had rounds where one of these is used to choose the headlines (other seasons have used variations, such as strength-o-meters).
