Wheel of Fortune often has iconic players thanks to their unique and sometimes weird personalities. That happened this week when a man named P.J. Wilder competed on the game show and ended up in the Bonus Round. It was there that he made a painful request from Ryan Seacrest.

Here is what you need to know about P.J. and his time on Wheel of Fortune.

P.J. Wilder Has Huge Moment On Wheel Of Fortune

P.J. Wilder was competeing on Wheel of Fortune and did very well for himself. P.J. Wilder is a home manager married to Katie and has two kids. He loves to read and enjoys Agatha Christie novels. He even has a mustache similar to that of Hercule Poirot, his idol.

He was competing against Debbie Tompson and Caitlin McGowan. Debbie has been married for 40 years, has three kids, and 11 grandchildren. Caitlin has worked in the fitness industry for over 20 years and has taught everything but yoga.

By the time the game had ended, P.J. had the big win. Debbie had $4,000, and Caitlin had $8,750. However, P.J. won with $33,660 in cash and a trip to Anrtigua. This then led him to the Bonus Round, where he had a chance to add on even more money.

After getting the big cash prize, he tried to hug Ryan Seacrest, but the host stopped him. Instead, Ryan wanted to touch P.J.’s mustache.

P.J. Gets Huge Wheel Of Fortune Bonus Game Win

P.J. Wilder made his way to the Bonus Game and got the “What Are You Wearing” category. The letters given by the game show automatically were no help at all. Before guessing his own letters, the board only read “***-** / *****E.”

P.J. had to pick some huge letters here, and he finally decided on “D, P, M, and O.” It was a good group of letters because he got all the letters but five. The board now read, “**P-*P / *OOD*E.” P.J. looked at the board and immediately figured the term out, saying, “Zip-Up Hoodie.”

This was a huge win, and P.J. was in shock when the letters were returned. That is when he asked Ryan to pinch him. “How is this happening? Please pinch me! Pinch me!” he yelled. Ryan reached over and pinched him, and P.J. yelled, “HEY!” Ryan said, “This all real.”

However, the big news was that P.J. didn’t win any more money from the Bonus Round. Instead, Ryan opened the envelope, and it read, “Mini Cooper.” P.J. won a car with the Bonus Puzzle win and ran over to sit in it. The car, priced at $41,200, made his total winnings $74,860.

P.J. sat in the car, and his wife looked on as Ryan Seacrest seemed happy to see someone else winning big.
