After hosting Wheel of Fortune since 1981, Pat is preparing to retire next month.
He has already recorded his last show, which will air on June 7 as the finale of the show’s 41st season.
Ryan, who currently hosts American Idol and also co-hosted the morning show Live with Kelly Ripa, is replacing Pat.
He officially starts the show when the series returns in September for season 42.
Since the announcement, fans have had several concerns about the 49-year-old’s arrival.
More recently, viewers are worried that Ryan won’t make them laugh as much as Pat, 77, does.
FUNNIEST MOMENTS
This week, Wheel of Fortune shared a montage of the longtime host’s funniest quotes.
“Pat has jokes – always has,” the show captioned on Instagram.
Fans loved remembering some of the 77-year-old’s best moments before quickly saying goodbye to him as host.
“I love Pat’s sense of humor,” wrote one Instagram follower. “Pat is so funny and hilarious!”
“He may be the host of Wheel of Fortune, but he’s also a comedian,” the user added.
“Pat and his humor,” commented a second fan. “Wow, I’m going to miss him!!”
A third viewer warned Ryan that “he has big shoes to fill.”
After seeing how much everyone loved the video, Wheel of Fortune shared two more videos filled with Pat’s funny moments.
Wheel of Fortune Host Timeline
Debuting in 1975, the beloved game show has had a few different iconic hosts over its nearly 50 seasons.
The first featured Pat and her co-star Vanna White as they filmed in various exotic locations over the years.
PRAISING PAT
“Who’s having more fun in the sun than Pat and Vanna? Nobody,” said the caption.
Pat could be jumping, falling, making sand art and dancing in the fun clip.
“Hahahaha!!! I will miss Pat so much next month,” insisted one fan.
“Maybe he’ll get bored and come back,” hoped a second Pat fan, before demanding of the show: “Please get a new host who has a great sense of humor like Pat!”
The show’s official Instagram account posted another montage of one-liners, noting that fans “couldn’t get enough” of the first one they shared.
“I just love Pat,” one happy fan commented. “He makes me laugh every night!!”
“I’m sad that Mr. Pat is leaving Wheel of Fortune,” another viewer wrote. “But I’m glad he’s doing bigger and better things!”
“Nobody can say a line like Pat Sajak,” said a third fan, despite Ryan preparing to take over as host.
