Ryan Seacrest will replace Pat Sajak as the host of “Wheel of Fortune.”
“Wheel of Fortune” made the announcement on Twitter, writing, “It’s official! Starting in 2024 @RyanSeacrest will take the stage as the new host of Wheel of Fortune. We’re so excited – Welcome Ryan!”
Seacrest’s appointment as the next host comes two weeks after Sajak announced his retirement.
Before the 48-year-old media mogul became a household name, he found a mentor in broadcasting legend Dick Clark, who helped propel his career from standing on the sidelines to shining in the spotlight.
