Pat Sajak joined as host in the earliest years of the show. That was even before its other most iconic face, Vanna White, came to turn over the letters. They developed a tight bond after hundreds of episodes and decades working together.
Then came the announcement that shocked the world. Pat decided it was time to retire. She gave him a goodbye message. He gave a touching goodbye message to his fans and Vanna on-air. She wondered if she should retire with him, but decided to stay, never losing the friendship they’d built over the years.
It was now time to pass the torch to the next generation. Ryan Seacrest has taken up the mantle. He was a fan of the show for years and opened his first episode by saying how honored he was to be the host. He also assured Vanna that he never intended to replace Pat, just to step in for him. The show’s first new episodes have been going well despite the major transition. Fans were sceptical about the replacement. Not everyone felt it was the right choice. There were even rumors of bad blood between the new duo.
Fans will always think what they want to think, and such a major transition is hard. All the new faces of Wheel of Fortune can do is say their piece and try to make entertaining TV.
