Wheel of Fortune Host Timeline
Debuting in 1975, the beloved game show has had a few different iconic hosts over its nearly 50 seasons.
“It’s going to be weird without Pat! But Ken Jennings is doing a good job on Jeopardy, so I guess we’ll get used to it!! Glad Vanna is staying!!!” she wrote a fourth.
‘COLD SHOULDER’
Meanwhile, Vanna and Ryan’s sweet chemistry emerges when there are allegations of rift between Ryan and Pat.
Pat surprised fans by announcing he wasn’t leaving completely – he will host Celebrity Wheel of Fortune in the autumn to fulfill his contract.
Additionally, he will serve as a producer for the next three years to oversee the smooth transition.
But apparently that transition isn’t going very well to begin with, a source told The Mirror this week.
According to The mirrorPat has been rejecting Ryan after he was “forced to retire”.
The source claimed that Pat hasn’t offered Ryan any hosting tips: “He’s too busy having fun with all this new free time he has.”
“There’s no denying there’s a bitter satisfaction behind his motives… clearly resentful of the way he was treated and then kicked off the show.”
“Ryan can contact Pat if he wants, but asking doesn’t help,” the source adds.
“Pat will always be busy, or he will dismiss Ryan with a neutral, ‘You did it.’
“When Ryan takes over, Pat will be watching and enjoying seeing how he does in the hot seat, which is full of challenges and not as easy as he thinks.”
The source also claimed that Ryan is doing everything he can to win over Vanna and her team.
He is “in full Mr. Nice Guy mode, putting on charm, lavishing Vanna and everyone else on the show with his homemade food, bringing treats,” they said.
He is specifically “making a big effort with Vanna and trying to curry favor by taking her out to dinner and trying to overcome any lingering tensions they have.”
‘FRIENDS ON AND OFF THE CAMERA’
Before the rumors of rivalry between Pat and Ryan, there were rumors of tension between Ryan and mail delivery girl Vanna.
Last monthreports emerged claiming that Vanna was already considering retiring before his new contract ends in 2026.
According to the Daily Mail, she and Ryan are said to be fighting to “make fun,” to the point that she is considering calling it quits. early.
“Vanna will retire from the show when her contract ends, but there is a part of her that wants to leave early,” a source told the outlet.
“She just doesn’t play with Ryan like she did with Pat, and no one really expected her to do that.
But Vanna clarified everything on Instagram soon after.
She posted a photo of her and the game show’s new host sitting at the dinner table together, enjoying a meal.
The pair smiled for the camera as they held their forks and smiled.
“Friends on and off camera,” she captioned the post.
The next season of Wheel of Fortune is scheduled to premiere on September 9, 2024.
