Wheel of Fortune fans slam ‘lazy’ and ‘irritating’ Ryan Seacrest for forgetting huge rule
Wheel of Fortune fans aren’t happy with Ryan Seacrest after they realize he has been forgetting to remind players of one very important rule.
Wheel Of Fortune: Pat Sajak hands the reigns to Ryan Seacrest
Ryan Seacrest has been branded “lazy” by fans for apparently forgetting a big Wheel of Fortune rule.
The 50-year-old veteran TV star took over the Wheel of Fortune hosting reins from his predecessor, Pat Sajak after he announced his retirement in 2023.
While ratings for the hit game show have shot up since the American Idol host took over – fans have noticed a common mistake Ryan allegedly makes.
“Why did Ryan forget to tell the player to dump the wild card after landing on bankrupt?” Redditor @any_Drawer_2059 asked fellow viewers.
They clarified: “Ever since Ryan Seacrest took over for Pat Sajak, in recent episodes I’ve been watching, I’ve been discovering that Ryan has been forgetting to remind the player to dump the wild card after landing on bankrupt on tonight’s show (The player dumped the wild card before commercial just so you know that).

“Pat never reminded the player they lost the wild card in early appearances during season 24 in which notoriously in a “Teen Best Friends” episode in January 2007, after the team landed on Bankrupt, he did not remind the team to hand in their wild card and they later brought it to the bonus round (they did not solve the bonus puzzle in the process). I’m not sure if he’s been forgetting too much or he’s just being lazy to remind the player,” they added.
The Wild Card on Wheel of Fortune is a gameplay element that allows contestants to call extra letters during the game.
It can either be used in the first three rounds or taken to the Bonus Round.
User @andrewchicago63 agreed: “And tonight was the perfect opportunity for him to say something when she said “I’d like to solve.” When the contestant just yells it out without calling a letter that’s one thing. But when they say “I’d like to solve” he should step in and say you might want to guess a letter first. Irritating.”
