Wheel Of Fortune Fans Are Not Holding Back After The Game Show Released a First Look At Ryan Seacrest And Vanna White
Whenever a beloved game show host steps down, transitioning into a new era is never easy, especially for iconic programs. We saw this with Alex Trebek’s departure from Jeopardy, and now it’s happening again as Pat Sajak bids farewell to Wheel of Fortune, making way for Ryan Seacrest. Understandably, fans are vocal as we navigate this shift. With Seacrest joining Vanna White, viewers are openly sharing their thoughts about this new chapter of Wheel.
Since the announcement of Seacrest taking over for Sajak, fans haven’t held back.
In the comments, fans expressed their unfiltered feelings about Wheel of Fortune’s return with a new host. Let’s dive into some of their reactions as this classic game show embarks on its latest journey.
Some Fans Didn’t Hold Back Their Critical Thoughts About Ryan Seacrest
Naturally, some fans are apprehensive about Ryan Seacrest stepping into Sajak’s shoes. Despite the fun promo showing Seacrest and White enjoying the upcoming season, skepticism remains. Comments like these flooded in:
- “You need someone who will be long-term. Ryan has bounced around multiple shows.” – gary__mather
- “No thanks.” – cindylclark99
- “So done lol.” – stefanie_joyy
- “Never liked Seacrest. After forty years, I’m no longer a Wheel watcher. Maggie, Blossom, anybody but Seacrest. Nope, not going to watch.” – miamichiliman
- “It still won’t be the same without Pat, but let’s see how Ryan does.” – humski4
Change is challenging, especially with rumors of tension between Seacrest and White. It’s understandable why some fans are uneasy. However, other reports suggest the new co-hosts are getting along well, and the promo looked fun to me. This brings us to the excited fans.
Other Fans Couldn’t Contain Their Enthusiasm About Ryan Seacrest
On the flip side, many fans are thrilled about Seacrest joining Wheel of Fortune. Some even admitted to having initial doubts but are now looking forward to this new era. For example, @twiggney shared:
“I have been so anti-Ryan since I heard he was the new host and thought I’d never watch my favorite show again, but instant 180. I’m excited to see him do it; I think they did a great job casting him. I was too quick to be negative.”
Other fans can’t wait to see Seacrest take the wheel. Having watched him on shows like American Idol and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, there’s a lot of love for him:
