Fan CastingWanda Wonka and Her Fantabulous Fun Factory

Description of Phoenix Trout (Fiona Ficklegruber):

A hot and happening talk show host with wealth and influence to rival that of Oprah or... anybody! She plays a role similar to Arthur Slugworth, promising each Ticket Finder the deal of a lifetime if they share the secrets inside the Factory, playing on their insecurities planting seeds of doubt that they might not win and need a fallback plan, while also telling them she believes they will win, calling them special and important. In the end she is revealed to be the granddaughter of Finicky Ficklegruber, the founder of a former rival to Wonka Co.
