Ryan Seacrest is set to take over as the host of “Wheel of Fortune” after Pat Sajak retires at the end of the upcoming 41st season. In a tweet, Seacrest expressed his gratitude for stepping into Sajak’s “legendary” shoes and praised him for his contribution to the show over the past 40 years. Seacrest also mentioned that hosting a game show called “Click” 25 years ago was one of his first jobs, making this opportunity a “full circle moment.”
Seacrest eagerly anticipates continuing the tradition of spinning the wheel alongside the iconic Vanna White. Sony has confirmed Seacrest’s appointment and announced that he will also serve as a consulting producer on the show. Ravi Ahuja, the chairman of global television studios at Sony Pictures, expressed his excitement about Seacrest taking over, stating that he loves “Wheel” and is the perfect person to carry its success into the future.
Sajak, who began hosting “Wheel of Fortune” in 1981, will remain involved with the show as a consultant for the next three years. Suzanne Prete, the EVP of game shows at Sony Pictures Television, commended Sajak for his ability to bring joy and humor to the show and expressed confidence in Seacrest’s ability to connect with the fanbase and attract new viewers.
In addition to his new gig on “Wheel of Fortune,” Seacrest is known for his previous roles as a co-host on “Live with Kelly and Ryan” and as a host on “American Idol” and other competition shows.
