Ryan Seacrest’s Hilarious Tumble on Wheel of Fortune Steals the Show

Ryan Seacrest, the ever-energetic host of Wheel of Fortune, took a spectacular tumble during the May 19 episode, turning a Margaritaville-themed finale into a viral moment. While attempting to hop onto an inflatable parrot-shaped pool float, the 50-year-old tripped, executed an unintentional somersault, and landed with a grin. Co-host Vanna White, lounging effortlessly on her float, quipped, "Just relax," to which Seacrest jokingly replied, "I’ve never heard that term before."

This isn’t Seacrest’s first onstage spill. In April, he face-planted while demonstrating the UK’s Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling Festival, where contestants chase a wheel of cheese down a hill. After the tumble, he waved to the crowd, holding up a mock Wheel of Fortune cheese wheel, with White confirming, "He’s OK!" Fans on social media adore his enthusiasm, with one calling him their "spirit animal."

Seacrest’s knack for physical comedy doesn’t end there. In March, a former pro wrestler contestant playfully put him in a headlock, forcing the host to tap out on the game show table. Through it all, Seacrest’s charm and humor keep viewers hooked, proving he’s as resilient as he is entertaining.
