As the new host of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune<\/i>, Ryan Seacrest<\/strong><\/a> is enforcing a new rule following Derek Hough<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s animated appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seacrest, 50, told USA Today<\/i><\/span><\/a> in an interview published on Monday, October 20, that he stepped in after Derek, 40, jumped on the game show\u2019s 2,400-pound wheel during the September 29 episode. At first, Derek \u2014 who was a contestant alongside fellow Dancing With the Stars<\/i> judge Bruno Tonioli<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0had mounted the podium, which is permitted.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, <\/span>\u201cIn the commercial break, [he] was jumping on the center of the wheel and having Bruno spin it, much like the top of a cake ornament,\u201d Seacrest said. \u201cWe did say, \u2018Please don\u2019t do that. That would break it, and there\u2019s only one of those wheels. If that breaks, we have a real problem.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWe had to sort of say, \u2018Stick to the ledge.\u2019\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWheel of Fortune history has been made with a prize of more than $1 million. The game show crowned its biggest winner ever after Christina Derevjanik of Stamford, Connecticut, won $1,035,155 during the Tuesday, September 30, episode. She scored the win after securing trips to Montana and Tokyo and earning $35,155 in cash and prizes. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Seacrest called his Dancing With the Stars <\/i><\/a>guests \u201cvery physical, and that makes for fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Seacrest has a long history with Derek \u2014 he dated the professional dancer\u2019s sister, Julianne Hough<\/strong>, from 2010 to 2013 \u2014 and noted that the two are close enough to call each other out if needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cKnowing someone, or being friends, is definitely helpful,\u201d Seacrest explained. \u201cYou can kind of tease them more than somebody you don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Seacrest also hosts the original Wheel of Fortune<\/i><\/a>, assuming the reins from Pat Sajak<\/strong> in September 2024. (Sajak, 78, announced his retirement in 2023.)<\/span><\/p>\n
