Ryan Seacrest will take over as the host of “Wheel of Fortune,” after Pat Sajak announced he was retiring after this season.
On Tuesday morning Seacrest wrote:
“Pat, I love the way you’ve always celebrated the contestants and made viewers at home feel at ease,” he went on. “I look forward to learning everything I can from you during this transition.”
Sajak began his time on “Wheel of Fortune” in 1981, earning the guessing game three Daytime Emmys for outstanding game show.
He inherited the role from Chuck Woolery, who began hosting the show with its 1975 debut.
