During a recent Wheel Of Fortune episode, they broke with tradition and introduced a new twist: not only were the contestants' friends and co-workers competing for cash and "bragging rights," but if any of them won the famed Million Dollar Wedge, the prize would be split between them. The show's format has pretty much stayed the same, aside from some changes here and there. In 2024, Ryan Seacrest took over as host, which sparked renewed interest. Wheel Of Fortune goes viral every so often when there are hilarious attempts at solving the puzzle or a format change creates backlash.
