Wheel of Fortune Season 41 is now in full swing, and that’s somewhat bittersweet since it’ll mark the final stretch of episodes for longtime host Pat Sajak. Months ago, the 76-year-old TV presenter announced that he’d retire from WoF in 2024. Ryan Seacrest will ultimately succeed him in that post starting in the fall of that same year. All in all, Seacrest appears excited to be taking the reins of the game show and, as you’d expect, he’s already getting prepared. So it shouldn’t be shocking to hear he’s spoken with Sajak and veteran hostess Vanna White, who apparently shared some honest sentiments with him.

It goes without saying that Ryan Seacrest has had his fair share of hosting gigs over the years. However, Wheel of Fortune – in many ways – is a different kind of…

Ryan Seacrest had a valuable advice from former Wheel of Fortune hosts, Pat Sajak and Vanna White, and he shared it with everyone.

“They’ve just told me how fun the show is,” Ryan revealed, as per E! News. 

“It is probably the best show to work on on television. You’re giving away money every single night to people, and it never gets old.”

“I’ve known her for a long time,” he added about joining Vanna White onstage.

“We’ve known each other for many, many years, and so I’m looking forward to being on that set with her.”

Ryan is a little nervous about joining such an established series, but more than anything, he is looking forward to an interesting season.

“Of course I’m nervous. I haven’t done…

Ryan added, “Pat Sajak’s a legend whom I’ve looked up to and watched so many years, and to know that that show is such a staple for America and such a destination for people and families in the evening, I just want to do my best job and make it seamless and have people continue to enjoy it.”

But before Ryan steps into the role of Wheel of Fortune host, the star was focused on unveiling The Ryan Seacrest Foundation‘s latest Seacrest Studio, a broadcast media center for patients at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in Queens, N.Y. Sept. 19.

Detailing how he came up with the idea for Seacrest Studios, Ryan shared, “I wanted to do something tangible for my mission and my purpose and my foundation. And I met with parents at different children’s hospitals and talked to them about what…

Wheel of Fortune tile-turner Vanna White poked some fun at her co-host, Pat Sajak.

Pat has been hosting Wheel of Fortune alongside his co-host, Vanna, for over four decades, but Vanna says she is the harder worker.

Several years ago, Vanna filled Pat’s shoes when the longtime game show host underwent emergency surgery for a painful bowel blockage.

During her three-week fill-in, Vanna went outside of her comfort zone and impressed Wheel of Fortune viewers as she temporarily took over the hosting gig.

Shortly after Vanna took over Pat’s position, she did an interview with Esquire and joked about working harder than her…

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The popular game show ‘Wheel of Fortune’ has been under a lot of speculation following longtime host Pat Sajak‘s retirement news and after the show’s producer announced ‘American Idol’ host Ryan Seacrest as his successor. While Vanna White has been in association with the show for more than 40 years now, she has been stressing out the bosses at ABC for her compensation increment demands.

It all started back in June after the game show announced Ryan Seacrest will take over for Pat Sajak at the end of next season in June 2024. The show’s team took to social media and posted a glammed-up photo of the host captioning it, “It’s official! Starting in 2024, Ryan Seacrest will take the stage as the new host of Wheel of Fortune.
