Jim Thornton dismissed over in-flight chat issue

Jim Thornton, the longtime announcer of "Wheel of Fortune," was fired after an incident involving an in-flight chatroom suspected of pedophilia content. The incident occurred on a flight from Charlotte to Los Angeles, where Thornton was questioned by law enforcement but not arrested or charged. Sony Pictures Television confirmed his termination and is recasting the role amid an ongoing investigation. Thornton's attorney stated he did not engage in any illegal activity and was misdirected to a similar-sounding suicide prevention forum, emphasizing he did not know about the alleged inappropriate content.
