Kelly Ripa Throws Shade At Ryan Seacrest’s ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Job
This week, Ryan Seacrest and his sister Meredith Seacrest-Leach were on Live with Kelly and Mark. The siblings were on the show to discuss their new children’s book The Make-Believers. However, Kelly Ripa couldn’t resist the chance to poke fun at her old co-host.
Here is what Kelly said to Ryan Seacrest about his new Wheel of Fortune gig.
Kelly Ripa Throws Shade At Ryan Seacrest On Live
Ryan Seacrest and his sister Meredith Seacrest-Leach visited with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos to discuss a new children’s book they just published. However, Kelly took the time to ask about Ryan’s new gig on Wheel of Fortune and tied it in with the new book.
“So, tell me about Wheel of Fortune now. Have you learned how to spell?” Kelly asked her former co-host. Ryan hosted Live alongside Kelly from 2017 to 2023. Ryan has been back on the talk show as a guest since then, and he was on last month when he admitted that he was not a good speller.
Meredith Seacrest-Leach enjoyed the joke at her brother’s expense. Since they did write a book together, she answered for Ryan, saying, “We know that’s a problem.”
Ryan added that he still isn’t good at texting. However, Ryan said his spelling is not a problem on Wheel of Fortune. “On the puzzles, I’m okay. I kind of know where we’re going with the puzzles,” he said. Kelly quickly responded by saying, “Cause you have the answer in front of you, don’t you?”
Ryan Seacrest Struggling On Wheel Of Fortune
Sources close to the game show say that Ryan Seacrest is struggling since joining Wheel of Fortune as the host. They say he didn’t expect the overall negativity of many fans, and he is seeking therapy to help him deal with it.
However, he kept a happy facade when talking to Kelly this week. “The show means so much to so many people. They grew up with it. Their grandma watched it, their parents loved it, they watched it together as a family, and it really has that specialness to it,” Ryan said. “So meeting everybody, giving away the cash and prizes, even more fun than I thought.”
He also said that it is great to work with Vanna White on the show. He said that some contestants are more excited to see Vanna than they are to see him. This really goes against the rumors that Ryan might be looking at getting rid of his co-host.
