Do not adjust your televisions. That wasn’t a very hairy Pat Sajak who walked out to host the April 1, 2024 edition of Wheel of Fortune.
Nope, that would be actor and singer Jared Leto who arrived arm in arm with Vanna White on Monday, and he didn’t break character. He simply stepped up to the podium to start the game.
Viewers all did a double-take, which was the right reaction, and hopefully they were all aware of the date thanks to April Fools’ Day. Good one, Wheel.
Here’s the moment that shocked a lot of people, along with some reaction on X (formerly Twitter):
