An excited Wheel Of Fortune contestant knocked Ryan Seacrest over celebrating his win. Now, the moment is going viral online.

Few shows seem to have as many viral moments as Wheel Of Fortune. Usually, those viral moments are from terrible guesses that the contestants make trying to solve the puzzle. We have seen that happen far too many times to count. However, this time around it’s a bit different. The contestant didn’t make an embarrassing guess–they actually won! In their excitement celebrating, though, they knocked over host Ryan Seacrest who took a pretty hard fall!

Ryan Seacrest Takes Hard Fall On ‘Wheel Of Fortune’

The contestant had just won a $40K grand prize, so you can’t fault him for being excited about it. That contestant is Daniel Thomas, of Pittsburgh, who was able to solve the 7-letter puzzle in the “Living Things” category. With 10 seconds to solve the puzzle, Thomas was able to guess “Guppies” just before time expired and it was the correct response! The contestant then gave Seacrest a big hug but instead ended up knocking him to the ground and it was a pretty hard fall.

It seems like Ryan was a bit surprise by the move but was okay and unharmed during the fall. He quickly got back up to his feet to reveal that Thomas had just won $40K. That meant Thomas would be leaving the show with a total of $71,950 a pretty nice pay day! You can’t blame him for being so excited about winning that amount of money! I would knock Ryan over too! I think we all would. Ryan has made comments before about how he loves seeing contestants win money–hopefully he still feels that way after taking that fall.

Good for him. I feel like it would be much worse if you go viral on Wheel Of Fortune for missing a clue and doing something embarrassing in your loss. If you win, who cares what mistakes or embarrassing things happen? You won! It’s much much worse when you lose and then go viral. At least Daniel can keep his head up high and laugh along with the rest of us. This is just funny. When you see a contestant have a brain fart on the show and forget an obvious clue and can’t solve the puzzle it’s so much worse. It’s one reason I would be scared of ever going on the show!

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

  • Dave's Other Job Offer

    Can you imagine Dave in any other job? It would definitely be interesting! Well, it could soon become a reality. Dave received an offer from an erotic novelist to record the audio versions of her books and although he considered it, he doesn’t think his wife or the company would approve of him taking it as a side gig. I would buy that audio book!

  • Dave's Got Drugs In His Pockets

    Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about a guy who claimed the drugs in his pockets weren’t his and neither were the pants he was wearing. Dave then plays the song, ‘Drugs in my Pockets’ by The Monks but no one on the show has ever heard that song before. Turns out, the song isn’t bad! Well, at least as bad as Dave’s version of it. Check out BOTH versions above!

  • Dave's Plane Ass Incident

    Somehow, Dave always ends up in the most awkward situations. There’s one common denominator: himself. Dave was involved in an uncomfortable situation on an airplane over the weekend. He accidentally squirted hand sanitizer on a man’s ass that was standing in front of him and wanted to know if he handled the situation correctly.

  • Dave's Patio Furniture Update

    It’s the update we’ve been waiting for! Last year, Dave made a delivery mistake and sent outdoor patio furniture to people in Florida after meeting them one time. He shares an update after finding out the people kept the furniture for themselves and never said anything. Would you have done what Dave did? What would you have done in this situation?

  • Who Won't Stop Texting Dave?

    Technology has come a long way over the years. However, it still has a way to go. Dave & Chuck the Freak talk about an odd problem that Dave is experiencing involving his robot vacuum. It won’t stop texting him saying that it’s stuck, even when it’s not plugged in. Everyone says this is a problem only gadget man Dave would have to deal with.
