Jared Leto made a surprising appearance on Monday night’s episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune’ as he pretended to host the show, replacing the original host Pat Sajak. The Oscar winner, 52, joined Vanna White on stage, leaving viewers bewildered by the unexpected change.
As Leto confidently took over the hosting duties, announcing the show’s commencement and even initiating the first game round, fans took to social media to express their confusion and surprise. The actor’s brief stint as the show’s host was not acknowledged or explained, leaving many puzzled by the unusual turn of events.
This wasn’t Leto’s first appearance on ‘Wheel of Fortune.’ Last year, both Leto and his brother Shannon appeared as contestants on the show, using the platform to announce the world tour of their band, Thirty Seconds to Mars. The Leto brothers have been part of the rock group since its formation in 1998.
Pat Sajak, who has been the host of the long-running series since 1981, previously announced his retirement, with Ryan Seacrest set to take over as the new host. Sajak’s departure marks the end of an era for the beloved game show, with fans expressing mixed reactions to the upcoming changes.
