A Wheel of Fortune ‘bankruptcy’ run was so wacky that Ryan Seacrest asked Vanna White for advice

“What is going on? Please help me!”

A segment on Wheel of Fortune was so bad that host Ryan Seacrest and the contestants were in disbelief.

Footage of a recent episode of the long-standing show has surfaced online, and it might be one of the wildest sequences in Wheel of Fortune history. The category was facial features, and while contestsants got off to a great start, they quickly ran into trouble. It all went downhill so unbelievably fast.

There were five total “bankrupt” spins — including three consecutive tries —  and EVEN two “lose a turn” spins during ONE attempt to progress through a puzzle. I’M NOT KIDDING. In such disbelief, Ryan Seacrest cried out to Vanna White for help to stop the madness. The whole thing was pretty hysterical, and you have to watch it to believe it.

Ryan Seacrest made his anticipated Wheel of Fortune debut as the game show’s new host

It’s officially Ryan Seacrest time on Wheel of Fortune.

Ryan Seacrest finally made his Wheel of Fortune debut on Monday night, joined by show legend Vanna White as he walked onto the show stage.

Seacrest replaces longtime show host Pat Sajak, who retired from the program earlier this year.

While it’s a bit surreal to see Seacrest hosting the show instead of Sajak, the veteran television personality did just fine in his first Wheel of Fortune episode.

We’re sure he’ll settle even more into the job as time goes on as he keeps the wheel spinning for game show contestants on weeknights across the globe.

You can see Seacrest’s Wheel of Fortune introduction below.

 

Is Vanna White unhappy with Ryan Seacrest on Wheel of Fortune? Everything that’s been reported so far

What’s going on at Wheel of Fortune?

There’s already been some drama on Wheel of Fortune with Pat Sajak saying farewell to the game show he’s hosted for decades, with the legendary Ryan Seacrest taking the helm.

But now, there are some reports floating around that the similarly legendary Vanna White is unhappy with Seacrest, which would be really bad for the transition to a new host. Let’s fill you in on the reports.

There was this from the Daily Mail: “An insider told DailyMail.com that White is finding it so difficult to ‘jibe’ with the American Idol host, 49, that she is considering exiting the show before her two year contract ends in 2026.”

Of course it might be hard to adjust to a new host, one who she doesn’t have that rapport with.

There’s been no official word from White herself. Her most recent Instagram post paid tribute to the late Willie Mays:

Stay tuned.

4,599 candidates who would be a better Wheel of Fortune host than Ryan Seacrest

Wheel of Fortune went with the safest, and least interesting pick. But there were so many better options, both living and dead.

It’s official. Pat Sajak’s throne as the host of Wheel of Fortune will be usurped by the guy from American Idol.

Sajak’s retirement after this season means top-dog duties at the long-running game show will be passed on to Ryan Seacrest, a man who looks like he has never been out to dinner without asking for ketchup.

Seacrest has made this a habit recently. He took over Dick Clark’s role for New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. He was Regis Philbin’s replacement on what was once Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. If you need an inoffensive, professional replacement for your old, kinda beloved host, Seacrest is your man.

But while that’s a safe choice, it’s also a boldly uninteresting one. Seacrest will be acceptable as host of Wheel of Fortune, a superfluous job only notable when contestants dig deep and throw something like, “pull a rabbit from my cat” into the universe. He’ll be a miner digging inches below the surface when it comes to interviewing contestants and setting up puzzles. It’s fine.

There were so many better options, however. Nearly 4,600 by my count.
