A recent 'Wheel of Fortune' episode saw an ecstatic contestant, Daniel, take home a whopping $71,950 after solving the bonus puzzle 'Guppies' in dramatic fashion. His exuberant celebration resulted in an unexpected bear hug that sent host Ryan Seacrest crashing to the floor.

A recent 'Wheel of Fortune' contestant's last-second win in the bonus round sent host Ryan Seacrest tumbling to the floor in a moment of pure excitement. Daniel , the contestant, managed to solve the puzzle 'Guppies' with only the letters 'G', 'E', and 'S' to work with, and he did it with one second remaining. Overjoyed, Daniel gave Seacrest a bear hug as he moved forward, which unexpectedly led to the host hitting the ground.

'Oh my gosh!' exclaimed co-host Thomas after witnessing Seacrest's fall. 'I'm good, I'm good,' Seacrest reassured, as Daniel helped him up. Seacrest then revealed Daniel's triumph, adding that he had won $40,000 for solving the puzzle, bringing his total winnings for the episode to $71,950. Announcer Jim Thornton playfully commented on the incident, saying “Daniel, easy on our host, but celebrate with $40,000!” Daniel, apologetic, asked Seacrest, 'I'm so sorry. Did I make you fall?' Seacrest, taking the fall in stride, jokingly kept his distance from Daniel when announcing his total prize money. He then inquired about Daniel's last-second puzzle-solving prowess, asking, 'Push you over or solve the puzzle?' Seacrest also addressed the fall in a brief moment with co-host Vanna White, saying, 'Pick me up, throw me over, tackle me. I'm totally fine with it.' The show captured the moment and shared it on Instagram and YouTube, with the Instagram caption lightheartedly stating, 'Bookmarking this video for when we see an influx of people tackling Ryan in the show... 🤣'Fans reacted positively to the impromptu celebration, expressing their amusement and concern for Seacrest's well-being. Comments on YouTube and Instagram ranged from 'You good, Ryan?' to 'That was so wholesome!' and 'I don’t know which I’m more impressed by, the solve or the tackle lol.' The heartwarming display of excitement and good sportsmanship quickly became a viral moment, adding another chapter to the legendary 'Wheel of Fortune' legacy
