“Wheel of Fortune” Host Ryan Seacrest is not used to accidents on stage.
On the May 19 episode of her beloved game show, the 50-year-old TV host fell during a closed segment, igniting a healthy response from his co-host Vanna White.
While putting together the “Margaritaville”-themed episode, Seacrest was able to trip over his legs and do a complete somersault as he tried to reach his inflatable parrot-shaped pool float.

“Because I have it. Just relax,” she replied.
“I’ve never heard of the term before,” he joked.
“Ryan Seacrest is my spiritual animal,” one fan commented.
This isn’t the first time a TV host has wiped out on stage. In April, Seacrest had a dramatic fall while filming a game show.

During the episode, he revealed that one of his favorite new festivals is the Gloucestershire Cheese Rolling Festival, which will be held in the UK. He explained that festival attendees race down the hill and chase the cheese circle. At the end of the race, participants win a huge cheese wheel.
To hold the demonstration, Seacrest fell on stage and planted his face.

Page grabbed Seacrest with his neck, one arm was seen sturdy under the host’s chin and the other above his head. At first, Seacrest didn’t resist, and everything was smiling. However, Seacrest began tapping out as Page continued to hold the host in the headlock and lowered his body to the ground.
