A Wheel of Fortune contestant was so ecstatic from his shocking win that he ended up knocking down host Ryan Seacrest.

Contestant Daniel Thomas from Pittsburgh was the big winner with $31,950, bringing him to the Bonus Round.

He selected Living Things as his category, a one-word, seven-letter puzzle that ended with the letters E and S after the R S T L N E letters.

Daniel then selected H G D O, and was only given one letter – G – the first letter of the puzzle, giving him very little help.

As the 10 seconds ticked away, Daniel wasn’t even sounding anything out, seemingly lost, until, with just a few seconds left, he said, “Guppies,’ which was correct.

‘You did it!’ Seacrest said, as Daniel embraced him and kept moving forward, causing Seacrest to take a tumble, though the quick-witted host took it in stride.

Daniel then immediately apologized and helped the 50-year-old host up, adding, ‘Oh my gosh, are you OK?’

Seacrest took his hand and got back to his feet, insisting, ‘I’m good,’ before directing him back to his mark, where he revealed that Daniel won an extra $40K from the Bonus Round.

Daniel went to embrace his family as announcer Jim Thornton revealed he won a grand total of $71,950 on the show.

He then went back to Seacrest, who jokingly backed away from Daniel before giving him another hug.

Seacrest also jokingly doubled over as if he was injured, adding, Vanna White would ‘have to take over.’

He then asked how he came up with the puzzle in the last second, as Daniel jokingly asked, ‘Push you over, or solve the puzzle?’ as Seacrest said, ‘Solve the puzzle!’

‘I don’t know. I was looking at the used letter board and I saw P and it just popped into my head,’ before apologizing to Seacrest once again.

‘No, don’t worry. I loved it!,’ Seacrest said, before jokingly having another injury as they cut to the show’s final segment with Ryan and Vanna.

‘Please, if you win, pick me up, throw me over, tackle me, I’m totally fine with it,’ Seacrest said, as White added, ‘Don’t listen to him!’

Daniel then came back and joked, ‘I’ll be real gentle’ as they hugged once more as the episode ended.
