A recent Wheel Of Fortune contestant tackled host Ryan Seacrest on the set of the popular game show. So, why did this recent player do this to the new host?

Wheel Of Fortune: Ryan Seacrest Has Weathered The Storm

With all of the criticism and critiques that Ryan Seacrest got even before he hosted his first episode of Wheel Of Fortune, the American Idol host has handled his new hosting gig on the game show rather well. While Ryan still has his fair share of haters, he has navigated it well, even winning over some viewers in the process.

Changing hosts at popular game shows is never an easy transition. This is especially true when someone like Pat Sajak hosted the show for decades. Considering the lion’s den that Ryan stepped into when he took on this gig, he has certainly held his own amid all of the pressure and backlash.

Player Went On A Tear In Recent Scenes

There is always a level of unpredictability with each and every Wheel Of Fortune episode. There is always a sense that anything could happen, whether that be a crazy puzzle, a big win, or both. In recent scenes on the show, a contestant full-on tackled Ryan Seacrest.

The catch to this is the fact that the player tackled the host in celebration, not in anger. A player named Ricky Brown recently won big on the popular game show. Brown is a musician from Easton, Pennsylvania. Ricky made it all the way to the Bonus Puzzle for a chance to win big money.

Unfortunately for Ricky, he did not get much help on the board between the complimentary R, S, T, L, N, E, and his letter choices. When all was said and done, Ricky was looking at a board like this: “AS _ _ _  _ _ S _.” Luckily for Ricky, he was locked in right from the jump, shouting out the winning answer of “AS YOU WISH.”
