Jared Leto and Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak played an April Fool’s Day prank on the show’s audience and contestants on Monday night by having Leto temporarily host the show.
Instead of Sajak walking on set arm-in-arm with co-host and presenter Vanna White, it was Jared Leto — who proceeded to then carry on hosting the show as normal.”All right everybody, grab those devices, it’s time to give away some money,” said Leto in host-mode. “A $1000 in our first toss-up, the category is on the map.”

Eventually, Sajak stepped back in to hosting duties, but neither Sajak nor Leto acknowledged the swap. Jared Leto shared the televised clip of his entrance on Instagram, writing “How’d I do?” as he and Vanna White made their way onstage. Watch the clip of Leto hosting the beloved game show below.
