Listen, folks, the Wheel of Fortune crowd had a moment they’ll never forget during an episode on Thursday, May 23. One contestant threw everyone for a loop with a guess that left jaws dropping and the room buzzing with reactions you wouldn’t believe.
Picture this: a contestant named Tavaris confidently steps up to the plate, ready to solve a puzzle with six letters missing. Without hesitation, he blurts out, “Right in the Butt.” Can you imagine the energy in that room? The audience erupted—some laughing uncontrollably, others covering their mouths in disbelief. And here’s the kicker: the first word of the phrase was only supposed to have four letters. Talk about a surprise twist!
Now, his fellow contestants were equally stunned. One of them couldn’t help but gasp, “What?” as she clutched her hand over her mouth. For a brief moment, even the legendary Pat Sajak stood there speechless, which, let’s be honest, doesn’t happen often. Eventually, he composed himself and kindly informed Tavaris that the answer was incorrect.

But the story doesn’t end there. Thankfully, another contestant quickly redeemed the moment by ringing in with the correct answer, “This Is the Best.” The room burst into laughter, and Tavaris himself couldn’t help but clap his hands and admit, “Much better answer.” You’ve got to love that sportsmanship!
Now, as much as we all adore Pat Sajak, fans are already bracing themselves for his final season at the helm of Wheel of Fortune. He’s turning 77, but moments like this remind us why we’ll miss him so much. Starting this fall in season 42, Ryan Seacrest is stepping into the spotlight to take over hosting duties. That’s right—Ryan Seacrest, the guy who’s been keeping us glued to American Idol for years.
Ryan has some massive shoes to fill as Pat steps away, but Vanna White, the queen of letter-turning, will be back for more next season. So, what’s Ryan’s game plan? According to an insider, he’s all about humility and focus. “Ryan is being humble, he’s listening, he’s sucking up to Vanna and the crew, and he’s utterly focused on interacting with the contestants and the regular people from ordinary America who come in and out of that show,” the source revealed.

At 49, Ryan is carefully crafting a foundation for another 20-year run, similar to his success on American Idol. But it’s not just about charm; it’s about building relationships and showing respect. “He has to build it one brick at a time and that means doing everything right as far as being charming and deferential to the many female execs involved in the show and of course, to Vanna,” the insider added.

Ryan is thrilled about this next chapter in his career, getting invaluable advice from both Pat and Vanna as he prepares to take the stage. “I talked to them both about, what’s the best part of Wheel of Fortune,” Ryan shared during an appearance on Good Morning America on February 12. “And [they say] it’s the contestants every night winning cash and prizes. I mean, that’s what it’s all about.”
