RYAN Seacrest was quite suspicious of a contestant on Wheel of Fortune recently.
The host, 50, checked a contestant for an earpiece as she got a $50,000 question correct with only four letters on the iconic gameshow.

Traci’s bonus round saw her spin the wheel before heading over to guess a phrase on the board.
With only T, E, O and C, Traci knew the phrase before the timer even began as her eyes lit up.
Ryan then asked her what the phrase was and she confidently declared it was “they go way back”.
“Yes, that’s it,” he said, looking totally taken aback.
Vanna White also looked stunned as she gave Traci a round of a applause.
Looking at Traci, Ryan then began to walk around her, pretending to search for an earpiece.
After Ryan had finished inspecting Traci, he opened the envelope to reveal her prize.
Showing Traci the contents of the envelope, which read $50,000, the contestant was gobsmacked as she squealed in delight.
IMPRESSIVE BONUS ROUND
“One of the most impressive bonus round solves I’ve seen for this season,” said one Wheel of Fortune fan in the comments section of the clip on YouTube.
“What an amazing solve… and great player all around!! Congrats, Traci; well deserved,” penned a second.
A third then added: “Wow!! Tracy got that with hardly any letters! I didn’t have a clue! Great job Tracy!! Enjoy!!”
“This woman is incredible! I think Ryan and Vanna and everyone watching were more excited than her husband,” penned a fourth.
“That was quite impressive ’cause I don’t think I would’ve gotten it,” added a fifth.

TAPINGS CANCELED
This comes after we revealed that taping sessions for Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! were recently paused amid the Los Angeles wildfires.
As the City of Angeles continues to suffer through the unprecedented blazes, Hollywood productions have shut down.
Last week, those who had nabbed tickets to attend Jeopardy! tapings were sent a message informing them of the cancelation.
A source then confirmed to us that sister show Wheel of Fortune, which films on the soundstage directly next to Jeopardy! on the same Sony Studios lot in Culver City, CA, would also not be filming.
“Every Wheel and Jeopardy taping has been canceled this week. The current tournaments will be delayed and air dates will be delayed.
“There are no new dates set in place yet but everyone is actively doing as much as they can,” the insider said to The U.S. Sun on January 13.
