Ryan Seacrest, that host of hosts, will be adding a Wheel of Fortune host starting after Pat's retirement in 2024. The host of American Idol and every other show is the perfect fit to man the Wheel. He's got the hosting experience and a winning smile, just like Pat. Plus he brings with him legions of loyal fans.
It's hard to imagine Wheel of Fortune without Pat and Vanna. There was a time in this country when everything stopped to turn on Wheel of Fortune. We're sure Ryan will carry on as best he can.
