Wheel of Fortune Fans may have found their new favorite contestant in Geoffrey Smith following his recent appearance on the popular game show.

Smith participated in the Monday, January 13, episode of wheel alongside Kaitlyn O’Keeffe and Sonja Hughes and proved from the start that he was a force to be reckoned with. After solving the first puzzle correctly, the Jamaica native collected a total of $7,500 by the end of the first round and the mystery round. He then solved all three puzzles in the Triple Toss-Up round and the Speed-Up round, increasing his winnings to $26,000.

For the bonus round, Smith chose the “Phrase” category and selected C, F, M and I as his additional letters, giving him a puzzle labeled “_ _ ST / _ L _ RT / IT / _ _ T”. Ryan Seacrest, the show’s host, reminded him, “It’s a phrase, you have ten seconds.” Smith immediately replied, “Blurt It Out,” and solved the puzzle correctly as soon as the timer started. Seacrest, 50, was visibly shocked by the quick and correct response and shouted, “Yeah! Wait a minute… come on!” The host then revealed the prize envelope, which added $40,000 to Smith’s already hefty $26,000 winnings.

Fans of the game show took to the subreddit on Reddit to share their excitement. “The Jamaican man here tonight is a legend,” one fan wrote, while another noted he was an “excellent puzzle solver.” Fans also shared their excitement on X (formerly Twitter). One user wrote: “Geoffrey is the best #wheeloffortune player ever. Holy heavens.” Another tweeted: “#Geoffrey on @WheelofFortune tonight might be my favorite contestant ever!!!! I love him!!!”
