Many of Ryan’s fans wished the host luck in the post.
“Wishing you many years of success in your new role as host of Wheel of Fortune,” one person commented.
“Sounds good!! They couldn’t ask for anyone better than you,” said a second person.
“Sounds great. You did it. Make Pat proud,” said a third person referring to recently retired host Pat Sajak.
Pat’s daughter Maggie also commented on the post telling Ryan, “Let’s go!”
Previously, Ryan was seen in a behind-the-scenes video with longtime Wheel of Fortune star Vanna White.
In the video, Ryan, 49, and Vanna, 67, locked arms as they prepared to film the first episode of the iconic game show since Pat announced his retirement last year.
“Getting ready for the first show!” she declared from her makeup chair as the show’s makeup department surrounded her.
“Are you ready to go?” she asked Ryan when he entered the room.
“I think so,” he said nervously, come on – let’s go!
Wheel of Fortune Host Timeline
Although Pat and Vanna have been a fixture on the game show for decades, there have been other hosts
Chuck Woolery was the host from 1975 to 1981
He co-hosted alongside Susan Stafford (1975 to 1982)
Vanna White took over as host in 1982 and has been since then.
After a contract and salary dispute, the show got rid of Chuck and brought back Pat in 1982.
Pat hosted Susan for a season
He then left the game show in 1989 to host a late-night talk show for CBS.
For five months, NFL player Rolf Benirschke took his place
In July 1989, Bob Goen hosted the show on CBS
He hosted for a year and a half until the show was canceled in 1991
The show was then moved to ABC, with Pat and Vanna hosting for the foreseeable future.
In 2023, Pat announced his retirement and Ryan Seacrest was quickly named his replacement
“All packed and ready for season 42,” Vanna captioned the clip.
The clips come as rumors of a rivalry between Pat and Ryan are circulating.
Pat surprised fans when it was revealed that he had not left the show completely and would be hosting Celebrity Wheel of Fortune in the autumn.
RYAN IS READY
“He’s too busy having fun with all this new free time he has,” an inside source told The Mirror when asked if Pat had given the young presenter any tips.
“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 added.
The source also revealed that Ryan is doing everything he can to win Vanna over.
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.
