As a die-hard fan of game shows and a longtime observer of the entertaining dynamics between hosts, I find myself amused by the playful banter between Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest. Their friendship, though tinged with good-natured ribbing, has always added an extra layer of charm to their on-screen interactions.
After Ryan Seacrest left “Live with Kelly and Ryan” and was later revealed as Pat Sajak’s replacement on the 2024 TV schedule for “Wheel of Fortune,” Kelly Ripa voiced a significant worry – Seacrest’s spelling ability. She even joked about it when he came back to the morning show, yet surprisingly, she held back when it came to what seemed like the most obvious target. Last week, viewers of the popular game show were buzzing when the new host appeared to make a major spelling mistake, which many considered his first big blunder.
Kelly Ripa Rips On Ryan Seacrest’s Spelling Skills
On October 7, Ryan Seacrest revisited a rather familiar stage when he and his sister Meredith Seacrest-Leach appeared as guests on the talk show Live with Kelly and Mark. The duo was there to discuss their latest children’s book, titled The Make Believers. Without missing a beat, Kelly Ripa playfully took jabs at her longtime friend, teasing that it was Meredith who had put in all the effort. Moreover, she graciously (or perhaps not so graciously) inquired about Seacrest’s new role, jesting along the way.
So, tell me about Wheel of Fortune now. Have you learned how to spell? We know that’s a problem.
Notice how Kelly Ripa swiftly takes aim, directly attacking the issue! Ryan Seacrest admitted his shortcomings in texting but assured “I’m alright at the puzzles.” Unfazed, Ripa immediately retorted.
Because you have the answer in front of you, don’t you?
In a straightforward manner reminiscent of her open personality, Kelly Ripa didn’t immediately seize the opportunity to embarrass Ryan Seacrest, as he had only recently made a mistake that many “Wheel of Fortune” enthusiasts deemed his first major blunder.
Ryan Seacrest Suffers First Blunder As Wheel Of Fortune Host
Although fans initially had doubts that Ryan Seacrest could match up to Pat Sajak’s exceptional game show hosting skills, they were appreciative of his initial performance. Since then, things have been running smoothly for him and his esteemed co-host Vanna White; however, a minor hiccup occurred during the Bonus Round on October 4th game. Let me share what transpired:
Excitedly exclaiming “Out Of The Way” as the solution I’d been seeking, I didn’t immediately receive Ryan Seacrest’s acknowledgment that I had won. While it wasn’t a prolonged pause, it was long enough for Vanna White to applaud and then pause, waiting for her co-host to confirm my victory. He eventually did so by saying:
Cody? That’s it. Congratulations!
As a fan, I often wonder what goes through Ryan Seacrest’s mind when he pauses like that during the show. Was it an unexpected response from the contestant that left him momentarily stunned? Or was he waiting for some sort of confirmation before moving on? It could also have been for dramatic effect, but here’s hoping that wasn’t the case because those 10 seconds go by so quickly, and Cody can’t afford to waste time guessing when it counts.
On Reddit, numerous fans voiced their opinions, with one describing it as a “nightmare” for the contestant and many concurring that it appeared Ryan Seacrest was merely trying to create tension. It remains to be seen if such occurrences persist or if any further signs of Seacrest’s spelling difficulties emerge as he becomes more accustomed to hosting the games.
