Viewers Are Divided On Ryan Seacrest In New ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Promo

With Pat Sajak’s four-decade run as Wheel Of Fortune’s beloved host, the show is finally moving on in preparation for the new season with Ryan Seacrest as Pat’s replacement and Vanna White still turning the letters as an enduring familiar sight on Wheel of Fortune. Although Ryan’s new role has been met with pushback from any fans of the program, it appears he is here to stay.

The Wheel Of Fortune’s official Instagram page recently dropped a promotional video showing a preview of Ryan and Vanna announcing the show’s comeback this fall. “Ryan and Vanna are READY! Who else is,” the caption read.

Reactions to the new game show preview

Vanna and her new co-host can be seen engaging in various goofy activities with big smiles on as they gave fans a glimpse of what is to come this September. Rather than be excited, many fans in the comments expressed their disappointment at the reality of Pat’s exit, as they have yet to move on.

Fans did not hide their feelings about Vanna and Ryan’s collaboration. “No thanks … I retired from this show with Pat. I can’t stand Ryan good luck Vanna,” a rather unimpressed user simply put. “Wheel & Vanna deserve better!” another protested.

Ryan gets a few supporters

Thankfully, Ryan received some support from a few fans, who are willing to let him prove himself. “For me personally, I’m indifferent to him. I’m going to give him a chance. You got this Ryan, make Pat proud!” a user rebutted, but not without noting that they get “why a lot of people are not happy about Ryan Seacrest becoming the new host of WOF.”

While a bunch of viewers have chosen to boycott the game show, a good number showed interest in the upcoming season with Vanna and Ryan. “I’m so ready for the new Wheel of Fortune season to come. I’m feeling hyped. I can’t wait. We will all miss Pat Sajak,” an excited viewer replied.
