Vanna White and Pat Sajak have been the faces of Wheel of Fortune since the 1980s, but in an upcoming episode, there will be another shining star on stage, and he's from Michigan.

 

 Wheel of Fortune

Since 1975, Wheel of Fortune has been a tentpole of television. The goal of the game is to solve a word puzzle. But to do so, contestants need to guess consonants and vowels to progressively solve the puzzle. Contestants spin the wheel to earn varying amounts of money values that they use to build their bank, spinning until they either guess an incorrect letter or the spinner lands on "Bankrupt" or "Lose a Turn". Solving the puzzles gets you a which could be a cash prize, a trip, or a new car.

Wheel of Fortune's April Fools Prank

This has been a rather eventful week for the show. Yesterday, the show had an unexpected surprise when instead of Pat Sajak entering with Vanna White, 30 Seconds to Mars lead singer and Academy Award winner Jared Leto stepped out and assumed hosting responsibilities with no explanation, and as quickly as he arrived, Pat returned and continued hosting like normal. It was really one of those blink and you'll miss it cameos.

 

Make sure you tune into NBC to see how Aaron does.
