April Fools pranks are hard to pull off in this day and age, but the producers of Wheel of Fortune sure fooled their viewers last night (April 1) when Jared Leto came walking out with legendary letter-turner Vanna White, instead of regular host Pat Sajak.
"Here are the stars of our show, Jared Leto and Vanna White," the announcer called out, as if it was absolutely normal to see them together.
And while Leto appeared quite natural assuming the role, saying, "All right everybody, grab those devices, it's time to give away some money," he was almost immediately replaced by Sajak as if nothing had happened. Not once was Leto mentioned again during the show. See the clip below.
Chalk that up to being April 1, 2024!
Leto did well to not break character as he method-acted his way into Sajak's spot. Later on he even shared the clip with the caption, "How'd I do?"
Posting the clip to Instagram, Wheel of Fortune did play along, asking followers, "Did you notice anything different in tonight's show?!"
Jared Leto had a busy April Fools Day. Later in the evening he was in attendance at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, where he caught up with host Shannon Burns on the yellow carpet to talk about the 30 Seconds To Mars catalogue. Watch their chat below.
