During Tuesday’s (January 21) episode of Wheel of Fortune, host Ryan Seacrest was knocked over during a contestant’s $40,000 victory celebration.
Contestant Daniel Thomas accidentally knocked over host Ryan Seacrest after winning $40,000 in an exciting challenge on Wheel of Fortune.
Daniel had just 10 seconds to solve the puzzle. Seacrest provided the letters “R, S, T, L, N, E” as a starting clue, and the letters “S and E” appeared on the board. Daniel chose “H, G, D, O,” but only received a “G” at the beginning of the word.
With just 10 seconds remaining, Daniel shouted “Guppies.” “Yes! That’s correct!” Seacrest responded.
During the celebration, the contestant accidentally knocked the host to the floor. “Oh my God!” Daniel exclaimed in panic. “I’m fine, I’m fine,” said Seacrest, reassuring the audience.
Seacrest announced that Thomas was leaving the show with a total of $71,950, then hugged the newly crowned winner.
