Fans react to Ryan Seacrest’s fall during ‘Wheel of Fortune’ winner’s celebration: ‘You good, Ryan?’
A last-second win in the bonus round by a recent “Wheel of Fortune” contestant knocked Ryan Seacrest off his feet.
The host wasn’t quite ready for the level of excitement from contestant Daniel after he nailed “Guppies” as the solution in the bonus round, as seen in the Jan. 21 episode of the game show. He only had the letters “G” “E” and “S” to work with, and he guessed correctly with one second remaining.
An overjoyed Daniel bear-hugged Seacrest while moving forward, which sent the host tumbling to the floor.
“Oh my gosh!” Thomas said after seeing Seacrest hit the ground.
“I’m good, I’m good,” Seacrest said as Daniel helped him up.
Seacrest then revealed that Daniel had won $40,000 for solving the puzzle for a total haul of $71,950 from the episode.
Announcer Jim Thornton had some fun with the moment, saying “Daniel, easy on our host, but celebrate with $40,000!”
Daniel then apologized to Seacrest.
“I’m so sorry. Did I make you fall?” he said.
Seacrest jokingly kept his distance from Daniel when announcing his total prize money.
The host then asked Daniel how he was able to do that in the last second.
“Push you over or solve the puzzle?” Daniel asked.
Seacrest also commented on the fall in a quick moment with co-host Vanna White released by the show.
“Pick me up, throw me over, tackle me,” Seacrest said. “I’m totally fine with it.”
The show shared the moment on Instagram and YouTube.
“Bookmarking this video for when we see an influx of people tackling Ryan in the show… 🤣” the Instagram caption reads.
Fans also enjoyed the impromptu celebration.
“You good, Ryan?” one YouTube commenter wrote.
“That was so wholesome! You sure you’re okay, Ryan? 😂” one commented on Instagram.
“I don’t know which I’m more impressed by, the solve or the tackle lol,” another wrote on Instagram.
“That was incredible!! And the guy getting the puzzle was cool too😂. I hope you are okay, Ryan!” another fan commented on Instagram.
