When most people take on a new job, they don’t need to worry about millions of people’s eyeballs watching from the first day onward, but such is life for new Wheel of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest, who is taking over for the retired icon Pat Sajak when the new season hits the upcoming Fall TV schedule. It’s been a long time coming, but his debut is fast approaching, and he’s opened up about his excitement and the slice of wisdom he immediately received from Sajak and Vanna White.

Seacrest appeared on Good Morning America opposite White, who’d previously talked about being nervous to have a new co-host after 40+ years, and addressed that even though he’s got the moves down and has started filming, the sense of glee has yet to fade. In his words:

Ryan Seacrest has spun the Wheel of Fortune for the first time.

Seacrest, 49, took to Instagram on Tuesday, July 16, to share behind-the-scenes footage from his first day hosting the iconic game show. He takes over from Pat Sajak when season 42 premieres in September.

“A glimpse of my first day at @wheeloffortune, and I’m still spinning with excitement!” Seacrest captioned the video.

In the clip, a giddy Seacrest shows his followers around the Wheel of Fortune set and even gives the famous wheel a spin. “Listen to the sound of this wheel… Right? Iconic. I find it soothing,” he says as he spins the wheel.
