want Ryan to do well he's everywhere other fans agreed and argued that Ryan may be getting backlash because he is perceived as the goat of a host for everything on TV most of the hate comes from Ryan

are allowed to have their opinions just as you are Ryan is almost a game show Trope at this point change is jarring other fans argue that new game show hosts are always met with skepticism when they replace a figure who's been there for decades another fan replied referring to Jeopardy it reminds me of when Alex tbec passed away and every post on Jeopardy Pages was if Ken Jennings is the host I'm never watching again so and so would be awful as host totally unlikable just give him a chance quit being so closed-minded a fifth agreed Ken receives an extra Ovation when he comes out now he always was the right guy a six said having attended a taping of Ryan's debut season any change after 40 years is going to be jarring having seen Ryan's first taped episode he's fine and I'd even argue better than Pat these last couple of Seasons it's like the show just went with the easiest choice yet another skeptic wrote to which one more argued that WF went with the Easy Choice on purpose given Jeopardy s tumultuous transition after Alex tbec they did go for the easiest choice thank Mike Richards for botching Alex's transition so terribly yet another fan liken the skepticism to The Price is Right the same thing happened with the Bob Barker Fanboys who would never accept Drew Carrey heck some Fanboys still want Barker to come back promo gets backlash this comes after Wheel of Fortune shared its first promo of the Ryan and Vanna era and it didn't go over well posted on Instagram on July 2nd the preview featured new host Ryan and Vanna excitedly announcing the show's return this fall notably absent was Pat 77 marking the very first time the show featured its new co-host Duo the promo video share on the official W Instagram page saw Ryan and Vanna take to the stage in their best hosting outfits I can't wait to get to work Ryan told the longtime letter Turner let's get you ready for fall Vanna replied Ryan was then seen moving around the set with streamers and confetti

sick of seeing Ryan CEST surely there must be someone else who can host wrote a third no thanks I retired from this show with Pat I can't stand Ryan good luck Vanna wrot a fourth Pat's a rap Pat's retirement episode on June 7th 2024 was a Bittersweet moment for the masses bidding farewell to fans Pat said his final goodbye in a tearful speech saying well the time has come to say goodbye I have a few thanks and acknowledgements before I go and I want to start with all of you watching out there he said it's been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of home night after night year after year decade after decade and I've always felt that the privilege came with a responsibility to keep this daily half hour a safe place for family fun no social issues no politics nothing embarrassing I hope just a game sagic concluded the Wheel of Fortune host announced he was retiring in an expost last summer writing well the time has come I've decided that our 41st season which begins in September will be my last shortly after Ryan was tapped to take over the much coveted hosting job and the choice has seemingly left some fans unhappy as for Secrest he praised his predecessor and wished Pat luck in his own Instagram post Pat congratulations on an incredible run with Wheel of Fortune your dedication charm and wit have made the show a beloved part of American television for decades Ryan also wrote that Pat set the standard for hosts every everywhere though Pat is retired Vanna is set to remain on the show through the 2025 to 2026 season though an official date for the new season of WF has yet to be announced new episodes are expected to air this September the transition to a new host for any beloved television show is rarely smooth but for Wheel of Fortune a game show that has been a staple in American households for over four decades the stakes are even higher with Pat sagic retirement on the horizon fans of the show have had to Grapple with the idea of change something many are not ready for Ryan CEST a veteran host with a resume that includes American Idol and Live with Kelly and Ryan was announced as the new host yet the response has been unexpectedly harsh as secis prepares to step into sagic shoes fans have taken to social media to express their concerns with some pleading stop being so negative but why is Secrest received instant hate and is it Justified the burden of Legacy Pat sagic is not just any host he is an institution for 40 years his calm demeanor quick wit and warm rapport with contestants have endeared him to Millions his tenure on will of Fortune has become synonymous with the show itself therefore when sagic announced his retirement it was inevitable that whoever took his place would face an uphill battle Ryan CEST despite his extensive experience walked into this role under a shadow a shadow cast by The Towering Legacy of Pat sagic this is the first reason many believe secist received immediate backlash the host change represents not just a new face on screen but a significant shift in the fabric of the show fans particularly those who have grown up with sagic are resistant to this change
