In a delightful twist that left fans both bewildered and entertained, Hollywood A-lister Jared Leto took over the hosting duties of the iconic game show “Wheel of Fortune” for a segment that left everyone wondering what was going on. The April Fools’ Day prank, orchestrated with precision, saw Leto stepping into the shoes of the beloved host, Pat Sajak, as he navigated contestants through puzzles and spins on the wheel.
The episode, which aired on April 1st, kicked off with Leto making a grand entrance alongside the show’s longtime letter-turner, Vanna White. As they strolled onto the set arm-in-arm, the announcer proclaimed, “Here are the stars of our show, Jared Leto and Vanna White,” setting the stage for what would be a memorable prank-filled episode.
With White gracefully making her way to the puzzle board, Leto seamlessly slipped into the role of host, addressing the contestants with his trademark charisma. “All right everybody, grab those devices. It’s time to give away some money,” Leto declared, diving headfirst into the game as if he had been hosting for years.
Contestants and viewers alike were left slightly puzzled by Leto’s unexpected presence, but they played along as Leto guided them through the opening puzzle. Despite the confusion, Leto maintained his composure and wit, adding an extra layer of excitement to the game.
However, just as mysteriously as he appeared, Leto made his exit without explanation after the first puzzle was completed, leaving behind a trail of laughter and speculation. Pat Sajak seamlessly returned to his hosting duties, smoothly transitioning the show back to its familiar format.
While the prank went unacknowledged on air, Wheel of Fortune made sure to tease viewers with a cryptic message on social media, asking, “Did you notice anything different in tonight’s show?! #AprilFools.” The post sparked a flurry of reactions from fans, who couldn’t help but marvel at Leto’s unexpected turn as host.
This isn’t the first time Leto has injected his signature brand of humor into the realm of game shows. Last fall, he and his brother, Shannon Leto, made a cheeky appearance on the show as contestants, adding to the band’s playful interactions with the Wheel of Fortune franchise.
