‘Wheel of Fortune’ Player Loses Car on Tough Puzzle & Puts Ryan Seacrest in Headlock

Wheel of Fortune YouTube

Wheel of Fortune viewers have quickly learned that Ryan Seacrest isn’t afraid to get stuck in, whether it’s his attempts at breakdancing, getting a (fake) tattoo, or now, squaring up to a former pro wrestler.

Monday’s (March 24) episode of the long-running game show saw a showdown between “Big” Bill Page, a former wrestler from Wilmington, Delaware, Vicki Brown, a lady who loves adopting animals, from Nashville, Tennessee, and Yolanda Williams, a travel crew member, from Norwalk, California.

Page stole the show, firstly due to what he was wearing: a colorful Hawaiin shirt with photos of his six grandkids on it. He then kicked things up a gear by putting Seacrest in a headlock. The host tried to keep a straight face as Page wrapped his arms around his neck; however, he soon started “tapping out.”

The fun for Page didn’t stop there, as he went on to dominate the episode, winning with $24,600 cash and a trip to St. Maarten. His opponents trailed well behind, with Brown finishing on $3,000 and Williams ending on zero.

This sent Page through to the Bonus Round, where he selected (perhaps appropriately, given his garb) the “What Are You Wearing?” category along with the additional letters, “B, C, D, and A.” This gave him a four-word puzzle that read: “_ A _ R / _ _ / _ _ _ T E / _ L _ _ E S.”

Page struggled to figure it out, guessing, “HAIR ON WHITE CLIPS” and “HAIR ON WHITE GLASSES.”

After the ten-second timer ran out, Vanna White revealed the correct answer as “PAIR OF WHITE GLOVES.”

Seacrest opened the prize envelope to reveal Page missed out on a brand new Ford Bronco. Thankfully, Page took the loss in his stride and didn’t react by giving the American Idol host a piledriver on the studio floor.

Speaking to Wheel‘s social media correspondent Maggie Sajak after the show, Page opened up about his experience on the show and his past as a pro-wrestler.

“It was a fantastic night. I really enjoyed it,” Page said before explaining he told the crew he “did pro wrestling” and “‘They said, what kind of moves can you put on Ryan? I said, ‘Well, I guess the easiest one would be a headlock.’”

 

Page noted he did scholastic wrestling in high school and then moved into pro wrestling, starting the organization the East Coast Wrestling Association. “I did all that, off the top rope, getting slammed, kicked in the head, everything,” he shared. “It was fun and they put me in the hall of the fame.”

Even though Page didn’t win the Bonus Round, viewers loved watching him, with one Reddit user writing, “I was rooting for him. Loved his shirt with all his grandchildren. Although he had a few mishaps you can tell he genuinely didn’t mean to and Ryan handled it very well.”

“Enjoyed him too and was sad he didn’t get the bonus puzzle. I thought he would figure it out,” said another.

“I just loved how he messed up Ryan’s hair,” quipped one commenter.

Another added, “I really wanted Big Bill to win at the end!”

‘The Price Is Right’: Drew Carey Does Steve Harvey Impression

‘The Price Is Right’: Drew Carey Does Steve Harvey Impression After Contestant’s Awkward Gaffe

Family Feud/The Price is Right

Drew Carey impersonated Family Feud host Steve Harvey after a The Price is Right contestant called him Steve. This comes just weeks after he did an impression of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

On a recent episode, Carey welcomed the contestants to Bidder’s Row to bid on a beverage refrigerator. One of the players, Paris Clayton, made a blunder that had him impersonating a fellow game show host.

“Paris, what do you say?” Carey asked.

“I’m gonna do 1,300 Steve….. Drew,” Clayton said. He glanced at the other players and seemed embarrassed, but Carey brushed it off with a joke. “1,300 Drew,” he corrected himself.

“That’s alright, I understand,” the host said. “He’s a friend of mine so it doesn’t matter. He’s one of my good friends.”

Carey then paused the auction to ask everyone if they wanted to see his Steve Harvey impression.  “Wait, let me do my Steve Harvey impression really quick,” he said. The host then took off his glasses, put a finger up to his lip to imitate a mustache, and opened his eyes wide at Clayton like Harvey tends to do. The audience went wild.

Luckily, the blunder didn’t mess Clayton up too much as he won the bid and got the chance to play Time is Money. He went on to win $8,000 on the game.

If Harvey saw the impression, he most likely brushed it off. Carey and Harvey are friends and have both been hosting their game shows for over 15 years. Carey even appeared on Celebrity Family Feud in 2020. Harvey called Carey “my buddy” during the show.

Carey’s team won the first question but did not go on to win the game. Kevin Nealon and his team took home $25,000 for their charity.

On March 11, Carey put on an accent and gave his best impression of a very famous line as the contestant flipped out over winning a car. The first prize that Charles Abbott had to guess was a vegetable chopper. Carey had no idea what it was and asked if it was an onion grater.

Announcer George Gray said, “I will give you a clue- Schwarzenegger.” “Get to the choppa” is a famous line said by Schwarzenegger in the movie Predator.

“It’s a choppa,” Carey said.

After Gray gave a brief explanation of the item, Carey said in his best Schwarzenegger voice, “The price of the chopper is $23. Is that true or false?” Abbott said it was true, which was right, earning him one price from the board.

After Abbott had correctly guessed the items, he won a car and jumped up and down. After the contestant celebrated, Carey put on his Schwarzenegger voice again, saying, “We are going to see a commercial and get to the chopper. We’ll be right back!”

‘The Price Is Right’ Episode Branded ‘Stupidest Ever’ After ‘Bizarre’ Mistakes

‘The Price Is Right’ Episode Branded ‘Stupidest Ever’ After ‘Bizarre’ Mistakes

The Price is Right YouTube

The Price Is Right viewers were left stunned after Thursday’s (December 12) episode when multiple contestants made incredible errors that cost them big prizes.

Despite long-time host Drew Carey explaining the rules throughout the episode, several contestants made mistakes that some fans couldn’t believe. This included two contestants on Bidder’s Row bidding the same amount and another contestant bidding “ten-hundred.”

The contestants who made it up to the stage didn’t fare much better. One contestant took on Safe Crackers yet didn’t understand that the numbers could only be used once each. Even after he won a TV, the contestant seemed surprised, telling Carey, “Oh, I did? Where is it?”

Another contestant played Push Over, where the player must push the blocks until the correct price is shown in the window. This contestant continued to push all the blocks to the end, ruining any chance of winning the game.

Across the episode, there was only one contestant who won their pricing game. A contestant called Linda participated in the game Do the Math, where the player must decide whether to add or subtract from the price of a prize on the left to equal the price of the prize on the right.

Linda’s prize items were a washer-dryer combo and a game table, and she had $869 to add or subtract from the washer-dryer price to match the game table’s price. She figured out the washer-dryer was worth more and subtracted the $869, meaning she walked away with both prizes.

Fans took to social media after the game to compliment Linda on being the only contestant to win their pricing game while blasting the other contestants for their “stupidity.”

“Linda was the only one who won her pricing game!” wrote one commenter on YouTube.

“Well, today’s show just didn’t go well at all with Do the Math being the only game won,” said another.

Another referred to the Push Over player as “the most stupidest contestant on today’s show,” writing, “What in the world was he thinking?”

Meanwhile, a fan on the Price Is Right Reddit forum wrote, “We’re not even done watching the episode and I had to pause the DVR and come on here to see if anyone else was overwhelmed with the idiocracy of today’s contestants. Were the normal contestant selector people sleeping on the job today?”

“I have never seen such stupidity before on this show, it was so bizarre and irritating,” replied one commenter. “It’s like either nobody was listening or haven’t watched the show which is always obvious. I think it’s disrespectful to Drew and everyone if they don’t watch the show, they don’t even deserve to get called up. This episode was awful!!”

Another added, “Some of the blame lies with the producers. They pick contestants with big energy regardless of whether they’re fans. I don’t mind a dumb contestant now and then but the show is better with people who know TPIR, IMO.”

“I couldn’t believe the Pushover contestant,” said one fan, while another replied, “The audience was screaming at him to stop. He was in his own little world.”

One commenter added, “I feel like they all want to go viral now rather than win a gameshow.”

Another YouTube commenter wrote, “One of the worst episodes of TPIR so far this season because of the contestants and their stupidity.”

‘The Price Is Right’ host Drew Carey reveals what makes him ‘want to scream’ at contestants

“Come on down — to get yelled at!”

“The Price Is Right” host Drew Carey is coming clean about what makes him “want to scream” at contestants on the veteran CBS game show.

In an in-depth interview on the Max series “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” Carey, 65, told Wallace that he doesn’t understand the appeal of Plinko, the fan-favorite game — and that it drives him crazy at the methods contestants use to try to win money on the challenge.

When playing Plinko, a contestant takes chips, which they’ve won previously, to the top of a game board and releases them, one at a time, into slots at the bottom of the board containing money amounts.

Each chip is worth up to $10,000.

“I don’t get it, honestly,” Carey said. “People usually don’t win that much money on Plinko. They’ll win like $1,500, a grand, something like that.”

Carey then explained to Wallace how contestants can have a better shot of winning $10,000 when playing Plinko.

“Hardly anybody gets a 10,000, because they drop it like it, so you have to drop it like right under the ‘N,’” he said. “If you’re ever on ‘The Price Is Right,’ drop it right under the ‘N,’ not too high, just like right above the slot and just let it go.”

“Don’t throw it, don’t spin it. Just drop it and that’ll give you the best odds of hitting the $10,000 spot.”

“You won’t hit it all the time,” he went on. “And I’m not allowed to say anything but in my head I want to scream ‘just drop it by the N!’ but I can’t do that.”

Wallace also asked Carey about the most common mistake contestants make when guessing the prices of merchandise featured on the show.

“So here’s a common thing,” Carey said. “So a lot of it’s just strategy like that we have a game called ’10 Chances’ where the first prize has two number on it. And we give you three numbers to choose from, but the price always ends in zero.”

“But I’m not allowed to say it,” he continued. “[But] I just said that. I’m allowed to say there’s a secret to the game. And if you can figure it out, you’ll have a better chance of winning.”

He added: “But not everybody knows it ends in zero so they’ll put a three at the end or a two and I’m just …”

Wallace then told his viewers to “listen to what you’ve just heard” if they want to be successful on “The Price Is Right.”

“Yeah,” Carey replied, “I’m giving you a lot of insider tips.”

Carey has hosted “The Price Is Right” since 2007, when he took over from longtime host Bob Barker, who died in August 2023 at the age of 99.

“My attitude was I didn’t want to screw it up. Like, don’t let the show get canceled with me,” Carey told Wallace. “I was just hoping people would accept me.”

New episodes of “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” drop every Friday morning on Max.

Drew Carey reveals when he’s going to retire from ‘The Price Is Right’: Bob Barker ‘made a mistake’

Drew Carey knows he’s the right man for the job.

The television host, 65, discussed his future on “The Price Is Right” during an interview with Entertainment Tonight at the CBS Fall Schedule Celebration on Thursday.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he said.

Carey has been hosting the beloved game show since 2007 when he took over from Bob Barker.

“I think Bob made a mistake by retiring,” Carey added. “I’m not gonna make that same mistake.”

“As long as my heart is ticking and they want me to be on the show, I think I’m gonna do ‘The Price Is Right.’ I just love it,” he said. “I think I was made for it.”

“The Price Is Right” is the longest-running game show in the US. It premiered in 1972 with Barker as host, a role he continued to fill for 35 years. His final episode aired on June 15, 2007.

Barker died in August 2023 at the age of 99 after battling Alzheimer’s disease.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce that the World’s Greatest MC who ever lived, Bob Barker, yubi has left us,” Barker’s longtime rep, Roger Neal, confirmed to The Post at the time.

Barker never publicly announced he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, but did star in a 2013 PSA for PETA which claimed not eating meat could help prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

After Barker’s tragic death, Carey paid tribute to the late TV host in a statement that he shared on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“Very sad day for the Price Is Right family, and animal lovers all over the world,” Carey wrote. “There hasn’t been a day on set that I didn’t think of Bob Barker and thank him. I will carry his memory in my heart forever. #RIPBobBarker We love you.”

Carey also raved about his predecessor a month after Barker’s death in an interview with ET on the “Price Is Right” set.

“He was so good at this,” Carey said in September 2023. “He was so good at relating to people and getting them to be relaxed and be themselves. You watch his demeanor and his attitude. He never seemed stressed.”

In that same interview, Carey shared how he’s improved as the show’s host.

“I’ve learned to relax while I’m onstage and not be so uptight about what’s going on,” he explained. “I just have to own the show and make it like my living room, because he was so comfortable in front of a camera.”

‘Price Is Right’ contestant takes brutal jab at host Drew Carey about his career

Drew Carey was put in his place.

Lillian Brown was on a roll during the July 2 episode of “The Price Is Right.”

The third-year Ph.D. student breezed through the games, racking up money as she played.

“I was thrown out of college twice. What’s the opposite of a Ph.D.?” Carey asked Lillian Brown. “A talk show host,” she quipped back. The Price Is Right / CBS
Host Carey, 66, teased her about it, suggesting that the secret to her success was her Ph.D.

“We might as well not even keep going but . . . OK, OK. You have a Ph.D.,” he said to her.

“I was thrown out of college twice. What’s the opposite of a Ph.D.?” Carey continued.

“A talk show host,” Brown responded.

“You know what? I’m not smart enough to be a talk show host,” Carey said, yubi unable to recover.

Brown and the audience all laughed.

In the same episode, Carey cost a contestant a shot at the Showcase.

The host was trying to help when contestant Roni Gardner, from San Diego, California, struggled to spin the Big Wheel.

“You know what? I’m not smart enough to be a talk show host,” Carey responded, unable to recover. The Price Is Right / CBS
Contestants spin the Big Wheel in an attempt to get close to 100 without going over. Everyone has two chances to spin and get their overall total the closest to 100 to move on.

For a spin to count, the wheel must achieve at least one full rotation. Gardner had trouble with this rule during the game.

After her first spin, the wheel landed on 90, which put her in position to win the game.

However, Carey pointed out that the wheel didn’t go all the way around, so the contestant had to redo her spin.

On her next try, the wheel barely turned past halfway, leading Carey to step in.

“Can I help you out?” he asked her.

“Yes, please,” Gardner replied.

Carey then helped the contestant make her next spin, which landed on 15, meaning she was allowed a second spin to reach the goal.

Once again, Carey helped, but the wheel landed on 95, taking Gardner’s score over 100. Her chances of moving on to the Showcase were over.

“I’ll take the blame for that. Roni, I’m so sorry,” Carey apologized as she exited the stage.

Contestant Erika O’Farrell then moved on, but Gardner didn’t have the chance.

Carey had another funny interaction on the June 28 episode when contestant David, a barber, nailed a bid on a sewing-and-craft collection, and bantered with the host about facial hair.

Carey welcomed the contestant onstage after he guessed the collection’s worth of $950, the closest of the four contestants’ guesses to its $1,415 price tag.

“What’s up, man? Nice to see you! Welcome to the show,” the host greeted David with a handshake, to which David replied with equal enthusiasm.

“You too, man. Thank you so much,” David said.

“I was wondering when you’re going to grow your beard back,” the contestant joked to Carey.

“Oh I don’t know, I just got tired of it,” the comedian, who has rocked longer facial hair in recent years, responded.

David then gestured to Carey’s soul patch, and quipped: “This is looking good.”

Carey returned the compliment, adding: “Your beard looks great, man.”

Carey is on his 18th season of the long-running game show. The Price Is Right / CBS
Carey’s interactions with contestants have been a hallmark since he took over as host of the show after Bob Barker retired in 2007. Barker hosted the show from 1972 to 2007 and died in 2023 at the age of 99.

Carey is on his 18th season of the long-running game show. He’s also previously led “The Drew Carey Show” from 1994 to 2004, and “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” from 1998 to 2007.

His ultimate career goal is to outlast “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak — who retired in June from that ABC game show. Sajak, 77, earned his place in history as the longest serving game show host of the same show for his 41-season reign.

“I do have a goal: I want to keep going until I die. This is my 18th season. I’ve got to get the 35 and 41, so I can catch Bob Barker and Pat Sajak,” Carey told TV Insider.

Will there be a Frasier season 3?

With the move came a number of brand new characters, including Only Fools and Horses icon Nicholas Lyndhurst as jaded professor Alan Cornwall and Anders Keith as the pitch-perfect David Crane (son of Niles and Daphne, taking after the former).

Reviews were mixed, with some drawing unflattering comparisons to the original series, but the Frasier reboot certainly had its fans, many of whom were gutted when Paramount Plus declined to renew it for season 3.

In the months since, Grammer has assured them that the show still has a chance at life. Read on for everything we know so far about the future of Frasier – including the possibility of a third season elsewhere.

Frasier was cancelled by Paramount Plus in January 2025 after two seasons on the streaming platform, striking a major blow to its chances of continuing – however, not all hope is lost just yet.

Deadline has reported that the show will be shopped around to other broadcasters, one of which could stage a last minute rescue that would see it scrape through to a third season.

Such a revival would need to be confirmed in the relatively short term, before the cast and crew are formally released from any obligation to the show, and thus allowed to pursue other work.

Almost two months on, there’s still no confirmation of where Frasier could find its second life, but star Kelsey Grammer has spoken optimistically about the sitcom’s potential future.

He told The New York Post in March: “We’ll end up somewhere where people are passionate about it. Listen, it’s got a huge audience, a big following, yubi and if people know where to find it, I think they will.”

We’ll update this page once an update to Frasier’s status is confirmed.

When could a potential Frasier season 3 be released?

Frasier fans enjoyed a rapid turnaround between seasons 1 and 2, with less than a year separating them, so the creatives behind the sitcom would most likely be aiming for a similar timeframe if they were to be picked up by another network or streamer.

That would point to a potential Frasier season 3 landing on Paramount Plus in autumn/winter 2025.

Who could star in a potential Frasier season 3?

If Frasier were to be renewed for a third season, we’d expect the full cast to come back for another round of laughs, barring any schedule clashes caused by the delay it is currently facing.

Grammer has also expressed interest in collaborating with The Good Place and A Man on the Inside star Ted Danson, who famously played Sam Malone on Cheers – the sitcom where Frasier made his first appearance.

However, there’s no final word on whether that dream will become a reality.

Here’s a reminder of the key players in the Frasier reboot cast:

Kelsey Grammer as Frasier Crane
Jack Cutmore-Scott as Frederick ‘Freddy’ Crane
Toks Olagundoye as Professor Olivia Finch
Jess Salgueiro as Eve
Anders Keith as David Crane
Nicholas Lyndhurst as Professor Alan Cornwall
Jimmy Dunn as Bernard ‘Moose’
Renee Pezzotta as Smokey
Kevin Daniels as Tiny
Peri Gilpin as Roz Doyle
Patricia Heaton as Holly Quagliano
Greer Grammer as Alice Doyle
Amy Sedaris as Dr “Doc” Stathos
Yvette Nicole Brown as Dr Monica Finch
Harriet Sansom Harris as Bebe Glazer
Rachel Bloom as Phoebe Glazer

What could happen in a potential Frasier season 3?

Frasier’s season 2 finale left a number of plot threads open to further exploration.

Love was certainly in the air, with Frasier and Holly getting closer over the course of the season, while his son, Freddy, faced the prospect of an awkward love triangle between himself, Eve and Alice.

Meanwhile, Alan was reunited with his estranged daughter, showing a softer side to the jaded academic, which could be expanded upon if the show were to receive another renewal.

On featuring more Cheers connections in a possible season 3, showrunner Chris Harris told ScreenRant: “One area is that we haven’t yet taken advantage of the fact that Frasier is back in Boston, and that is where Cheers took place.

“So there’s a whole group of characters. Obviously, Bebe was part of that [as Lilith]… but we’d love for Frasier to run into somebody along the way at some point.”

Is there a Frasier season 3 trailer?

Alas, there’s no additional footage to share just yet. We’ll update this page if that changes.

Frasier is available to stream on Paramount Plus.

Mark Consuelos suffers EMBARRASSING wardrobe malfunction on live TV as his fly was down the whole time

Mark Consuelos suffers embarrassing wardrobe malfunction on live TV: ‘Did anybody notice that?’

It’s live television, so anything is possible — and Mark Consuelos learned that the hard way.

The actor, 53, suffered a wardrobe malfunction during Wednesday’s episode of “Live With Kelly and Mark.”

Consuelos was in the middle of his opening segment with co-host and wife Kelly Ripa, 54, but didn’t realize his fly was down the whole time.

As he leaned back in his seat, it became clear the zipper of his pants was wide open as the program moved into the “Stump Mark” segment.

However, Consuelos soon realized it, yubi as he turned to Ripa and said, “My zipper’s down!” in a panic-stricken voice.

When the duo returned on camera, Ripa made an over-exaggerated point of looking at her husband’s lap as he laughed about the mishap.

The “All My Children” alum teased, “Did anybody notice that?” to which the “Riverdale” actor replied, “No! My fly was down the whole time!”

At the end of the episode, Ripa and Consuelos took a moment to read comments from viewers who were watching the mishap unfold at home.

“I noticed Mark’s fly was open when he was speaking about Princeton,” one fan wrote.

“Sometimes it’s Groundhog Day every day,” Ripa slickly quipped back.

But the pair are no strangers to wardrobe malfunctions on their early morning talk show.

Back in 2023, Ripa was rushing to change into a dress, telling the audience on arrival, “I had a small wardrobe emergency backstage!” while trying to fix her bow.

“It was very exciting,” she exclaimed. “I almost did not walk out here!”

Consuelos confessed he “was wondering how that was going to go” and was planning on doing what any good husband would — “stretch” the opening to allow her more time to get dressed.

She replied: “Yeah, how you were going to wait for me?”

“But then I got drunk with power,” he teased.

“It’s gonna be me out here. It could turn into anything! It could be anything out here. Talking sports. That’s just it, just sports.”

Along with clothing misfortunes, Ripa and Consuelos have also given fans a look into their personal lives on the show.

In December, the “Hope & Faith” actress shared that with “all the roommates” — referring to their three children Michael, 27, Lola, 23, and Joaquin, 22 — the holidays were “great.”

“A lot of fun,” she said as the former soap star added, “A lot of festive arguments.”

She then detailed the main argument between the couple of almost 30 years.

“He shows up as an honored guest at Thanksgiving,” Ripa stated, noting that Consuelos thinks “the food just materializes.”

“He complained to me because there was too much butter in the mashed potatoes.”

“Well, do we want to talk about that, or should we just let you say that?” Consuelos asked, to which Ripa quipped, “No, I just put a chunk of butter on top expecting it to melt down!”

Later in the night, as Ripa put it, Consuelos made a pie and “did it his way and made what I like to call ‘Soup Pizza!’”

‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Why Fans Say Ryan Seacrest’s Days Are Numbered

New Wheel Of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest has been under an incredible amount of scrutiny since he took over for Pat Sajak. Even though he has put his best foot forward when it has come to the huge shoes to fill, many viewers are still rooting against him, with many saying that his days as the host are numbered. So, what are fans saying?

Wheel Of Fortune: Ryan Seacrest Stepped Into The Lion’s Den With New Gig

It is not a stretch to say that no one has been under a microscope the same way that Ryan Seacrest has been since taking over hosting duties on Wheel Of Fortune from Pat Sajak. Game show fans love tradition when it comes to their favorite game shows, and changing something like the host is a major deal that can easily make or break a program.

Even Ryan Seacrest has been open about feeling the pressure since he has been in the hot seat. Seacrest may have years of experience hosting shows like American Idol, but, taking on the world of Wheel Of Fortune is a completely different beast, as Ryan has found out since taking the job.

Fans Say Seacrest Is On Borrowed Time As The Game Show Host

Based on recent comments from Wheel Of Fortune fans, many already feel as though Ryan Seacrest has overstayed his welcome on the show. Recently, many commenters came forward with their thoughts on why they think this will be a short-lived gig for him.

One recent Wheel Of Fortune commenter said: “I’m sorry, but I can’t stomach Ryan. His delivery is smug and he seems so condescending.”
A second commenter chimed in, adding: “he’s trying but it just isn’t working.”
A third commenter added to the discussion, saying: “He’s definitely no Pat, but then again, no one is.”

Do Wheel Of Fortune Execs Have A Contingency Plan In Place?

While a lot of people may not like Ryan Seacrest as the new Wheel Of Fortune host, it seems that the game show brass may also be preparing a backup plan, just in case things don’t work out with the new host for the long haul.

One of the points of contention between Ryan Seacrest and the game show is that Wheel Of Fortune execs want Ryan’s undivided attention. Even though they may be willing to pay top dollar for his services, as many people know, Seacrest is also the face of American Idol.

However, it seems there is a backup plan in place to plug Maggie Sajak into the hosting gig if things don’t work out longterm with Ryan, and, based on a lot of fan comments, it seems many viewers would prefer that.

What do you think of Ryan Seacrest as the host? Let us know in the comments below.

According to a publication, the broadcaster will make a guest appearance on the Thursday, May 18, episode of the show hosted by former cohost Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, who took over Seacrest’s hosting duties.

Seacrest heading back to his stomping grounds may not come as too much of a shock to fans, given that he promised he’d be back on the program while announcing his exit from the series in February.

“This isn’t the end, I’m going to be back,” the 48-year-old assured his loyal fans. “This place is remarkable. I’m going to miss coming into this studio to see the people who have worked here for so long. It is about the people here; it’s a family at Live and they adopted me for a little while and I’m grateful for that. … So I’ll definitely be visiting from time to time.”

Fans of Live! are likely ecstatic to hear of his return, as they have been split over Ripa and Consuelos taking the reins.

Between the overly PDA couple going overboard on live television to them airing out too much of their marital dirty laundry and pre-recording episodes months in advance, it seems Ripa and Consuelos can’t do right by their fans.

Following the husband and wife’s debut as cohosts in mid April, fans took to the internet to share their thoughts, with one joking: “Bruuuutal! Last time i watch. I can go to the mall and watch teenagers kiss LESS!!! THE BEGINNING OF THE END.”

“Ok Kelly..we get it..you love Mark..enough ..Now just get on with the show and entertainment..” noted another unimpressed viewer, while a third pleaded: “This the WORST decision. Horrible cohosts. There was no one else who could cohost with @KellyRipa ??? Please change this.” SB

Despite baring nothing but smiles on-air amid the constant backlash, Ripa finds the negative remarks surrounding Consuelos’ performance “irritating,” as OK! reported.
