When Does Ryan Seacrest Start on ‘Wheel of Fortune?’ — Sneak Peek of New Set

"I'd like to buy a...." NEW HOST!

Ryan Seacrest is gearing up to take over the reins as the new face of Wheel of Fortune.

Appearing on GMA, the American Idol host explained that he is aware of the "giant" shoes to fill as he replaces Pat Sajak.

Despite some concern, he assured devoted fans that he won't "make any changes" to the beloved TV game show.

"This show works. All I need to do is keep it moving," he added.

"All we need to do is have fun every night. And I think if that's what happens, this show continues for a long time."

In June 2023, it was announced that Seacrest would take over for Sajak, who began hosting the show in the early '80s, following his retirement.

The 49-year-old veteran TV host gushed about the "out of body" experience working with co-host Vanna White.

"It's out of body for me, you know, to have watched Vanna, and watched this show and Pat, and what they've built with audiences across this country. And what this show means to people in their living rooms every night, and their families, and generations of people who have watched this show, it is a very special thing that just doesn't exist anywhere else," he told GMA.

What's New for Season 42?

For their first official season together as co-hosts, White and Seacrest will debut a new set.

"I don't even have to touch the letter anymore," White told GMA.

"This is a blank screen with a video on it, right? There's lasers up there. So, when I go to touch a letter, it catches the movement of my hand so it lights up. Isn't that crazy?," the 67-year-old legend added.

Sajak's final episode aired June 7, and he will return to Celebrity Wheel of Fortune on Oct. 7 in his final farewell.
