Jared Leto and Pat Sajak Swap on April Fools’ Day ‘Wheel of Fortune’

Wheel of Fortune arrange a double-whammy April Fools’ Day prank in anticipation of the annual joke fest. The present’s contestants have been the primary to be fooled throughout the pre-taping of Monday night time’s episode, and audiences watching from house have been the ultimate targets of the prank. Wheel of Fortune performed out because it usually does, with Vanna White stepping out arm-in-arm with the present’s host — besides this time, Jared Leto appeared rather than longtime host Pat Sajak.

“Listed here are the celebrities of our present, Jared Leto and Vanna White,” the announcer exclaimed as they walked out to the applause of three contestants, able to guess their approach to some cash. “All proper all people, seize these units, it’s time to present away some cash,” Leto started. “A $1000 in our first toss-up, the class is on the map.”

As the sport went on, Leto and Sajak switched locations with out ever mentioning the musician’s momentary internet hosting gig. It was as if he was by no means there. “How’d I do?” Leto requested on Instagram. The present has at all times loved a unusual April Fools’ Day prank. In 1997, Sajak swapped internet hosting jobs with Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek for the day.

Wheel of Fortune has had a number of visitor hosts over time, however Sajak has been at its helm since 1981. Following the conclusion of Season 41, the host will exit the present after greater than 4 a long time. Ryan Seacrest will tackle the mantle later this yr, with Sajak staying on as a present guide for the following three years.

“Pat, I like the best way you’ve at all times celebrated the contestants and made viewers at house really feel relaxed,” Seacrest shared final yr. “I sit up for studying all the pieces I can from you throughout this transition.”
