Ryan and Vanna walked out through the game show’s bright new set , which had sliding doors center-stage.
The OG American Idol host wore a black suit and tie, while Vanna wore a regal blue gown.
“Welcome to the show,” Vanna told Ryan. “So good to have you.”
He then stood centerstage and addressed the roaring audience and at-home viewers.
“Welcome to Wheel of Fortune. I am your host Ryan Seacrest,” he said.

“I still can’t believe my luck being here tonight to continue this legacy of this incredible show.
“And, of course, my good friend Vanna White. Thank you for the very warm welcome,” he added.
Ryan also said that hosting WoF was his “dream job” and he was aware of the “big shoes” he had to fill, referring to Pat’s legacy.
With the new season came an updated look for the show, including a new laser-run letterboard.
The screen also showed all three contestants on their panels as they answered puzzles.
The brightly lit set and shiny puzzle board distracted many viewers, leading them to show dissatisfaction on social media.
“I get that Wheel of Fortune replaced Pat Sajak because he retired, but why did they have to change the entire set?!” one person wrote on X .
“This new set is going to take more getting used to than Ryan. everything is so computer generated and bright,” another said.
“Not impressed with the new wheel of fortune set,” someone else shared.
Others had mixed reviews on Ryan as the show’s new host, with some calling him “boring” and others thinking he “wasn’t that bad.”
