Ryan Seacrest he was left shocked when he was overjoyed Wheel of Fortune the contestant caught him during an episode of the popular game.
Ricky Browncontestant from Easton, Pennsylvania, jumped up and down in celebration after solving a tricky puzzle during the Wednesday, January 15 episode The wheel. During the cartoon celebrations, the singer grabbed host Seacrest, 50, who looked surprised to be caught at the time.
Brown just guessed the puzzle correctly in the “sentence” section. The three-word phrase, “As you wish” was difficult, with the chosen letters leaving Brown to guess at a puzzle that read, “AS / _ _ _ / _ _ S _.”
Despite the odds, Brown guessed right when the 10-second timer started, yelling, “As you wish!”
“Yes! You got it! How did you do that?” replied a shocked Seacrest before Brown jumped up and hugged him again with this awkward hug.
“Wait a minute, you bent the card,” Seacrest joked as he pointed to the prize envelope he was holding, before revealing that Brown had won another $40,000. The extra cash meant Brown won a total of $64,000 and a cruise after correctly guessing the sentence.
Earlier in the show, Brown got off to a strong start in Round 1, winning $2950 from the start. Although he suffered a minor setback when he answered a question incorrectly in the Mystery Round (he answered “Tanzania and New Zealand” instead of the correct answer “Tasmania and New Zealand”), Brown quickly bounced back.
A contestant solved a puzzle in the Express Round and won a cruise and nailed two out of three puzzles in the Triple Toss Up round.
Brown became a fan favorite in the episode for his hilarious antics, including writing a song about being on a game show.
Encouraged by Seacrest, Brown sang a custom rap as he stood behind the wheel of the show's famous show alongside his fellow contestants. Karen Morgan from Clinton, Maryland, and Lisa McDaniel from Norman, Oklahoma.
“Wheel of Fortune the place to be. Back home, I watched it on ABC. The smile on my face, I'm so happy. My wife is here, but I miss my son,” he rapped. “Who knows? I might win a trip across Rome. And to all my family and friends at home… The feeling I have right now is the best, I'm having fun. Vanna [White] and Ryan Seacrest.”
