Ryan Seacrest Institutes Playful 'No Standing on the Wheel' Rule After Derek Hough's Stunt

The host framed the Sept. 26 Celebrity Wheel premiere anecdote as a light safety reminder to protect the show's one-of-a-kind wheel.

Overview

  • Seacrest said Hough climbed onto the center of the wheel during a commercial break and had Bruno Tonioli spin it, prompting a warning that the prop could break.
  • He told the visiting Dancing with the Stars trio to “stick to the ledge,” noting their physical energy makes the tapings lively.
  • To avoid repeats, Seacrest jokingly set a new guideline that guests should not stand on the wheel.
  • The Season 6 premiere featured Hough against Tonioli and Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy, and Hough won $63,350 for Feeding America.
  • After filming, Vanna White presented Hough with a handmade baby blanket in a warm behind-the-scenes moment.
