Ryan Seacrest Tapped to Take Over 'Wheel of Fortune' Hosting Duties

Need2Know Headlines

Now we heard earlier this month, Pat Sajak leaving Wheel of Fortune once the 41st season ends after hosting the game show for the last four decades. And now we know exactly who's going to be replacing him. Can I buy a vowel? Yes. On Instagram Ryan Seacrest announced he's gonna take over as host of the iconic show. He wrote, quote, Pat, I love the way you've always celebrated the contestants and made viewers at home feel at ease. He added that he can't wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel. Also said he's excited to work with one great Vanna White as well. Now, as we mentioned, Jack has hosted the show since 1981. He has earned 19 daytime Emmy nominations for outstanding game show host. He won it three times. Obviously, he's definitely gonna be missed. He's gonna stay on for the rest of this year. But the big question was at the end of the day, whoever was chosen as host, would Vanna White still stay on the show? It turns out according to news from Puck Puck News right now, apparently has two more years left on her contracts with does she stay after those two years or do they sort of phase out that role? Big question? I think that would have been too much change. I've said this before. I think Ryan Seacrest is great, very talented. I'm very bored with this choice. I think he should have been someone like you. Oh, well, of course, I'm the obvious choice for this. But I think Ryan Seacrest is actually perfect because in many ways Pat Sajak was sort of reliable always there and non polarizing television, he wants somebody that sort of appeals to everybody and is really easy to watch. I think Ryan Seacrest.
