Vanna White And Ryan Seacrest’s First Episode Together Just Aired, And Results Are In

As the new season of Wheel of Fortune commences without Pat Sajak as co-host, fans have sat tight not just for the competition but also to observe how well Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest get along in anchoring the game show. From commentaries on social media, it appears many viewers have yet to accept the reality of Sajak’s exit.

Vanna and Ryan appeared on the Wheel of Fortune stage looking gorgeous, with the latter in a well-tailored suit and Vanna in a single-shoulder ankle-length dress. Vanna complemented the look with a full face of makeup, minimalist jewelry and her lush blonde hair in a center part blowout.

Vanna indulged Wheel of Fortune fans by sharing a behind-the-scenes look ahead of the episode. She sat in a chair wearing a wine-colored bathrobe as the glam team got her ready while Ryan was getting set to walk upstage hand-in-hand with his new co-host.

Fans took to Vanna’s comment section, giving mixed reactions ranging from excitement to curiosity over how well they would perform. “Pat will be missed. No one can fill his shoes,” someone wrote. “This will take some getting used to! We miss you, Pat,” another added.

Although Pat’s four-decade run on Wheel of Fortune has come to a much-expected end, he will be back to host Celebrity Wheel of Fortune this fall and be the game show’s producer for a bit longer. Vanna and Ryan seem to have found a middle ground as they usher in a new era.

Rumor has it that Sajak and Ryan are not on good terms, and the 77-year-old has yet to help Ryan. A source claims that Sajak was rudely kicked off the show, hence his passive resentment towards Ryan and his getting replaced. Contrary to speculation, Sajak is probably just enjoying life as a recent retiree and trusts Ryan to do a good job, given his wealth of showbiz experience.
