Ryan Seacrest Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Ryan Seacrest finds himself at the center of entertainment chatter this week with headlines involving both professional milestones and a bit of friendly controversy. The biggest story right now is Seacrest’s recent claim that Dancing with the Stars judge Derek Hough caused a stir by jumping onto the Wheel of Fortune set’s iconic wheel during a taping of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. Seacrest told USA Today that Hough, along with fellow judge Bruno Tonioli, was “goofing off” between takes, with Derek standing at the center of the wheel and Bruno spinning it, an act Seacrest joked could have been disastrous since there’s only one of those wheels. He said he had to step in and lay down a new rule to protect the set, which he now stewards as the show’s new host.
But the plot thickened when Hough took to Instagram Stories and, in a move that got picked up by multiple outlets including E! News and Reality Tea, emphatically denied Seacrest’s tale, saying, “This is 1000% NOT true. I would never disrespect a set like that … however awesome that would have been to be spun around like a cake ornament, haha.” As of this recording, Seacrest has not publicly responded to Hough’s denial, leaving fans wondering who to believe. The entire episode has injected some light-hearted drama into Seacrest’s first season as Wheel of Fortune host—a role he stepped into in September 2024, taking the reins from the legendary Pat Sajak. This transition remains a significant chapter in Seacrest’s ever-evolving broadcast career, and Wheel co-host Vanna White recently praised his dedication and preparation.
In parallel with his game show responsibilities, Seacrest has just dropped a new children’s picture book, The Make-Believers, co-authored with his sister Meredith Seacrest Leach. Inspired by their childhood and released this week, the book encourages kids to dream big and celebrate imagination. Seacrest shared the news on Instagram, posting rare photos with his sister and celebrity friends like Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos, and Andrew Garfield, generating plenty of positive buzz across social media. Meredith Seacrest Leach told People the story emphasizes turning dreams into reality—a sentiment that echoes Seacrest’s legendary work ethic.
No unconfirmed or speculative reports have emerged over the past 24 hours regarding Seacrest’s business dealings or private life. With both Wheel of Fortune and his new children’s book thrusting him into the spotlight, and the dust still swirling over that playful on-set dispute, Ryan Seacrest remains a defining figure on TV and in pop culture as we head into the weekend.
