Meet Ryan Vickers from Newmarket, Ontario, Canada—a school teacher by day and the charismatic host of Reach for the Top, Canada’s beloved academic quiz show once helmed by Alex Trebek. Growing up, Ryan wasn’t a fan of Wheel of Fortune during its "shopping era," but today, he enjoys revisiting those classic episodes. In the fall of 1996, during his senior year of high school, everything changed when tryouts for Wheel of Fortune were announced. After sending in a postcard, Ryan received life-changing news a few weeks later: he was invited to audition. Six months after tryouts, Ryan and his mom traveled to Los Angeles for the taping. Tune in as Ryan shares the excitement, challenges, and unforgettable moments of his journey on Wheel of Fortune. Don't miss how he fared on the iconic game show!
