Ryan Seacrest’s On-Stage Stumbles Create Laughter on ‘Wheel of Fortune’

Ryan Seacrest, the charismatic host of ‘Wheel of Fortune’, has become known for his playful antics and occasional on-stage slips. Recently, he found himself at the center of attention during the May 19 episode of the iconic game show, where his latest blunder sparked laughter and camaraderie among the show’s participants.

Co-host Vanna White reportedly found the situation humorous as she relaxed on her own float, responding to Seacrest’s clumsiness with a teasing remark. “I need a breather after that,” Seacrest said, panting while glancing at White. “Why do you look like you’ve done this before?” White cleverly replied, “Because I have.
