Ryan Seacrest, the new host of 'Wheel of Fortune', is making headlines both on and off the set. From indulging in In-N-Out Burger at a food truck to revealing a surprising secret about the show's iconic wheel, Seacrest is bringing a fresh perspective to the classic game show.
Seacrest's Food Truck Feast: A Treat for the 'Wheel of Fortune' Crew
Ryan Seacrest recently treated the staff and crew of 'Wheel of Fortune' to a food truck during premiere week. He shared an Instagram post featuring himself enjoying a protein-style burger from In-N-Out.
The post showed Seacrest taking a bite of his burger in his dressing room, complete with fries and a drink. He also included a photo of the food truck with a sign that read, "Happy Premiere Week, Wheel of Fortune staff and crew! Enjoy, Ryan." Fans praised Seacrest for waiting in line like everyone else and commented on how delicious the food looked.
Revealing the Wheel's Clicking Secret
In other news, Ryan Seacrest recently revealed a fascinating secret about the 'Wheel of Fortune' set to Vanna White: the source of the wheel's distinctive clicking sound. During an interview with "Good Morning America," Seacrest explained that rubber bands, similar to those used in orthodontics, are responsible for the sound.
Vanna White, who is in her 43rd season on the show, was reportedly shocked by the revelation. "Do you know I never knew that?" she exclaimed. Seacrest quipped, "Well, welcome to season 43." The clicking mechanism uses rubber bands that contact the pricing wedges, creating the noise.
Seacrest and White: Embracing the New Season
Ryan Seacrest joined 'Wheel of Fortune' in 2024 after Pat Sajak's retirement. Both Seacrest and White expressed their enthusiasm for the new season. White, who has been on the show since 1983, shared that she loves coming to work every day. She even had a stint as the host back in 2019 due to Sajak's emergency surgery.
White also extended her contract with 'Wheel of Fortune' through 2026 and received a "substantial pay increase," according to TMZ. The duo's dynamic presence promises a continuation of the long-standing success of this iconic game show.
