Ryan Seacrest is still experiencing firsts on Wheel of Fortune — including his first mistake!

On the Friday, Oct. 4 episode, the game show cohost has his first on-screen slip up. After winning the week-long BetMGM Big Winners Tournament, contestant Cody Hunger moved on to the bonus round and chose to solve one last puzzle in the "phrase" category.

Hunger spun the wheel and chose additional letters "C,D,Y,O," the letters making up his first name, to help him solve the four-word puzzle. With 10 seconds to win the $94,900 jackpot, Hunger correctly guessed the phrase "out of the way" but Seacrest took a few seconds to pause before acknowledging his win.

His co-host Vanna White even broke into a big smile and clapped at Hunger's victory until Seacrest exclaimed, "Cody? That's it."

Hunger breathed a sigh of relief and threw his head back as he reacted to the happy news and the completed puzzle filled the screen.

“You got it! Congratulations,” the television personality continued as confetti burst and Hunger's friends joined him on stage to celebrate the news.
