- Ryan Seacrest calls out Wheel of Fortune contestant: ‘You just embarrassed all your kids’ (mp.newsbreakapp.com)
Blythewood, SC resident Matt Benton recently had a memorable appearance on Wheel of Fortune, hosted by Ryan Seacrest. After racking up $22,148 in cash and prizes, including a trip to Iceland, Matt made it to the Bonus Round.
When introducing his wife Stephanie to Seacrest, Matt called her his “incredible, sexy wife.” Seacrest jokingly pointed out that Matt had likely embarrassed his three children, who were watching from home.
Matt’s Bonus Round was a nail-biter. With less than a second left on the clock, he successfully solved the puzzle “A Faraway Land,” winning an additional $40,000.
Adding to the humor of the situation, Matt’s son Josiah later commented on a YouTube video of the episode, confirming that he was indeed a bit embarrassed by his father’s on-air comment.
