Wheel of Fortune's Hidden Click: Ryan Seacrest Reveals a Secret Even Vanna White Didn't Know!
WHEEL OF FORTUNE SECRETS EXPOSED!
Ryan Seacrest spills the beans on a long-held secret of the popular game show, Wheel of Fortune, and Vanna White's jaw-dropping reaction will leave you speechless!
In an explosive interview with Good Morning America, the 50-year-old host dished about his professional chemistry with co-host Vanna White, 68, as they prepare for their sophomore season together. The dynamic duo has been working together since Seacrest took over as host in 2024, replacing the retiring Pat Sajak.
Seacrest revealed a surprising fact about the show's iconic main prop – the wheel – and its clicking sound effect that had White stunned! "Do you know the clicking sound?" Seacrest teased on GMA. He then dropped the bombshell: "There are rubber bands, like the kind you used to have with orthodontia on your teeth – that's what makes the clicking!"
White was left speechless, admitting she had no idea producers used rubber bands to create the clicking sound over the years. "Do you know I never knew that?" White asked, as Seacrest quipped, "Well, welcome to season 43 – you're gonna really like it here!" The playful exchange has sparked a lot of buzz among fans, with many wondering what other secrets might be hidden behind the scenes.
But what's truly remarkable is how seamlessly Seacrest integrated himself into the show. White praised his quick learning curve and effortless transition from Pat Sajak last fall. "He did his homework before he came, and the transition was amazing," she raved. "He just slipped right in, like [he'd] been doing it forever!"
Seacrest also shared a heartwarming moment when he finally listened to a voicemail left by Pat Sajak, who recently appeared in a play called Prescription: Murder. "I missed a thoughtful, wonderful voicemail from Sajak," Seacrest confessed. "He was in the play, and I was so impressed – how does he memorize all those lines? He's a good actor, too!"
It's clear that White and Seacrest have developed an undeniable chemistry on screen, but their camaraderie extends beyond the studio lights. When asked about her longtime coworker Pat Sajak, White gushed, "He was in play, and I was so impressed – how does he memorize all those lines? He's a good actor, too!"
Pat Sajak's departure from the show has left fans wondering what the future holds for Wheel of Fortune. In his farewell tweet last June, Sajak announced that his 41st season would be his last, thanking everyone for their well wishes and teasing the clickbait sites with his witty remark. The show's subsequent tweet praised Sajak as the "best host in the biz" and promised an exciting new season.
As Wheel of Fortune enters a new era with Seacrest at the helm, fans can't wait to see what secrets will be revealed behind the scenes. One thing is for sure – with its talented cast and continued popularity, this beloved game show will keep spinning, click by click!
