Wheel of Fortune recently shared a behind-the-scenes secret. Viewers watched in amazement as they learned about a job on the game show that doesn’t involve hosts Ryan Seacrest or Vanna White.
Key Takeaways
- WoF shared a BTS clip that showed a crew member changing a wedge on the classic wheel.
- Fans called it the “coolest job ever.”
- Big changes have been made to the wheel this season.
Wheel of Fun
It turns out that Ryan Seacrest or Vanna White doesn’t have the best job on the show. Neither does announcer Jim Thornton, who has been in this spot since 2011. He hangs out behind the scenes, announcing the contestants or the next gameplay.
On Instagram, WoF shared a behind-the-scenes secret. A clip showed one of the crew members changing the wedges on the wheel. The caption reads, “Please like this video so our wedge guy sees why we followed him around for the day.”
This season, the show added a new “Year of Fun” wedge. Additionally, fans have noticed that the wheel is looser than it was in previous seasons. That means there are more opportunities to win cash, prizes, vacations, and more.
The Coolest Job Ever?
In the Instagram video, the crew member placed a “Wild Card” wedge over the $500 spot. Then, added a vacation wedge to another space. Lastly, he added the Bankrupt/One Million Wedge to another section on the wheel.
He carefully placed them down and smoothed his hand over each wedge. He conducted the job as he leaned over the contestant podium, which is fragile. Contestants can’t jump on it. This led to an apparent feud between Celebrity Wheel of Fortune guest star Derek Hough and Ryan Seacrest.
Meanwhile, WoF fans flocked to the comments section. They were in awe of this man’s job. Some agreed that it was the “coolest job ever.” One fan wrote, “So this is what changing the wedges looks like. We need more Wheel of Fortune content like this, please.”
“He’s already WEDGED his way into our hearts,” someone else commented, showing love for the crew member.
“The perfect job doesn’t exi-,” one fan wrote, doing their take on the meme that went viral on social media.
The WoF account responded to the fan who shared that they wanted to see more content like this. One fan explained that they wanted to see where the wedges were stored when not in use. Meanwhile, another fan wanted to see more BTS secrets of the set, especially the people involved with the bold graphics and decorations.
