Ocala natives Vincent and Katy Alexander will appear on the game show “The Wall” on Jan. 12.

Hosted by Emmy Award winner Chris Hardwick, “The Wall” is an action-packed game with more than $12 million on the line each night and up to $3 million on a single heart-stopping drop, as teammates work together to answer questions to build a huge cash prize, the news release noted.

Vincent Alexander is a firefighter and paramedic. Katy is an occupational therapist. They are U.S. Navy veterans who met during deployment and have been married for more than nine years, according to the release.

“After years of struggling to start a family, their lives changed on Jan. 1, 2023, when Vincent responded to the first-ever use of his station’s Safe Haven Baby Box in Florida. Inside was a newborn baby girl, Zoey, just 12 hours old. Vincent felt an instant connection and soon he and Katy adopted Zoey, completing the family they had always dreamed of. This inspiring couple now takes on ‘The Wall’ for a chance to win up to $12 million in an action-packed episode filled with suspense, teamwork and unbelievable trust,” the release stated.
