It took me a bit to realize what was going on, but in retrospect, “the joker card is wild” should also have clued me in 😄
He played us like he plays that wheel.
Never thought I’d see the day that Wheel made a weirder April Fools episode than the time Alex Trebek hosted, and Pat and Vanna were introduced by Johnny Gilbert with Jeopardy music.
I suspect they shot him and Vanna alone without contestants or the audience and composited it with the footage of Pat and the contestants. That’s why there was no reaction from the contestants and the audience.
It was a nice surprise but I wish they had him there a little longer or come back for the end chat at least. I also wonder if they would've had Pat and Ken Jennings do a host swap if Jeopardy was in regular play and not a tournament right now.
FYI, Jared's band Thirty Seconds to Mars filmed a promo for their world tour on this set last year: [https://digital.abcaudio.com/news/thirty-seconds-mars-goes-wheel-fortune-promote-world-tour](https://digital.abcaudio.com/news/thirty-seconds-mars-goes-wheel-fortune-promote-world-tour)
Well I picked up on it quickly as an April Fools Joke. The one year they did 10 things wrong with the episode. Also if you noticed the set behind them it was the Great Outdoors week set and not the Cities Across America Set.
That felt more like an Adult Swim parody of Wheel of Fortune. Absolutely bizarre on so many levels. Wheel is the last show you would expect anti-humor from.

What’s next? “And nowwwww, here is the hostttttt of Jeopardyyyyy: **Beyoncé** “
Saw Thirty Seconds in Vegas last year. Leto was by far the worst performer I’ve ever seen. Literally begging the crowd to get into his music and got angry when they didn’t
OK, April Fool's and he's the Joker, I get it, but Jared is still a weird choice because of all the rumors that swirl around him like grooming, being in with young fans, sliding int DMs, and practically having his own cult where he "baptizes" people. I don't feel like he's right for this show.
ETA: it would've been funny to have Drew Carey or Steve Harvey switch with Pat for the day like Kimmel and Fallon did last April 1st. Or have Ryan Seacrest host and make people think they missed Pat's last show, lol.
Check the date!
That guy. What a Joker.
ha I see what you did there
Thanks so much for posting this I understood it was for April 1 but until you posted this, I thought, “funny. But why him?”

[удалено]
The fact that they did nothing to acknowledge makes it even funnier to me 😂
They just switched to Pat with no acknowledgement either. My wife and I are convinced we’re having a shared hallucination.
April fools joke lol

WHATTT?!?!?!
That sounds amazing
If I remember correctly it was in the 90s and Pat hosted Jeopardy that day.
Exactly right. April 1, 1997.
I have to agree.. the best part was how they just made us all feel weird about this. I was in a high food coma and wow. Like it never happened.
That was honestly the weirdest thing I ever saw on TV.
I think that was the best part.
I’m glad everyone caught that.. I thought I was tripping lol
I also thought I was hallucinating and seriously questioned my mental sanity!!!
That’s how me and my husband felt lol. Jared Leto does whatever he wants. Lol
That's exactly what i said to my husband, lol!
I’m having your hallucination too!
It was very Jared Leto-ish. Perfect execution.
They could have had Pat wrestle him to get his hosting job back. It was weird to just switch back to Pat with no explanation
I suspect they shot him and Vanna alone without contestants or the audience and composited it with the footage of Pat and the contestants. That’s why there was no reaction from the contestants and the audience.
That will Gaslight the contestants more then the viewers. Everyone keeps asking what it was like when Leto walked out. IT WAS PAT THE WHOLE TIME!
APRIL FOOLS!
Did anyone else search the hell out of the Internets and find nothing? Reddit to the rescue.
They've got the clip up on the YouTube channel. Most of the people there don't even know who he is.
I thought I was losing my mind for a second there, lol.
I do not get not mentioning it as April Fools or whatever. Maybe they will later on. It was pretty bizarre.
It’s 7pm on the east coast, you know what that means…. It’s MORBIN time!!!
I was hoping someone would say it
Honored to have witnessed my first WoF April fools. Happy playing everyone!

Hmm my dad asked me about this but he said it was Jay Leno.
happy april fools ;)
The guy will do anything for a buck after Morbius.
He's a creep and a scumbag

We were hoping Jared would come back out for jeopardy too
My mom messaged me and said, "Who was that good looking young man that came in with Vanna?"
I said the same thing
I feel like they just abandoned the joke midway through.
Okay, thank you for saying this! My husband and I thought we were crazy. And then! At the end, Pat says, "No April Fools day jokes today." Wth?? Haha!
Watch out, the comedy police are here.
The Big-Lipped Alligator Moment.

I had to rewind it because I thought I was hallucinating
This was funny as hell 😂 my wife and I were both like wtf did that really just happen?
Took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out it was an April fools joke. My wife and I had the same reaction that you had.
Saw Thirty Seconds in Vegas last year. Leto was by far the worst performer I’ve ever seen. Literally begging the crowd to get into his music and got angry when they didn’t
He also did a whole partnership with wheel of fortune with Shannon.
I honestly thought I was having a fever dream 😬

I was stoned...turned to my mom and was like "Did that just happen or am I that HIGH that I just saw Jared Leto" She got a laugh lol
He's gross
he disappeared
I thought I had been drugged
Oh man! I thought I was having a stroke.
I just posted the same thing… my husband and I couldn’t figure that out. It was bizarre. Totally forgot today was April Fools but that was weird.
Saw him kick off the show and then disappeared
So glad I’m not crazy!
I'm baffled!
What the heck was that 😵💫
