odd story Ryan's ability to host without Q cards could make his interview segments looser than they were with Pat as host not the center of attention the American Idol host told the outlet how he's approaching the new gig and what is many ongoing jobs have in common honestly if there's a through line to all of the things that I do I'm really not the center of attention he said at American Idol it's about the contestant on the radio we're playing songs with New Year's Eve it's the ball on Wheel it's the game there's also an actual rule book one that Ryan studied to prepare I studied episodes of Pat and Vanna I read the rule book I made flashcards of the rules he also shared he also said he appreciates the tradition of walking out and being called the star of the show alongside van it's such an old school thing Ryan said no one says that anymore those classic vintage old school things about this show or what make this show nyt also noted other changes at the iconic game show and a few things that remain the same last week fans saw the show's new set which has received a sweeping makeover and has an ultramodern look that said the centerpiece wheel is the same and has been used

replied I had no idea what to expect when I'm used to one person for so long I was very scared she admitted but he's doing a great job Vanna has been on Wheel of Fortune since 1982 Pat announced he was retiring from the show after 41 Seasons last June after Ryan was announced as the new post there were rumors that he and Vanna weren't seeing eye to eye she just doesn't jide with Ryan like she did with Pat and no one really ever expected her to a source claim to the Daily Mail there's just no way that she possibly could however an Insider shut down those rumors to the New York Post there is absolutely no truth to this story Ryan and Vanna have started working together and have been having a lovely time on set Vanna suly responded to the feud allegations by sharing a photo of her and Ryan out to dinner together in July friends on and off camera she wrote in her caption Ryan began taping the game show that same month according to CBS Sunday morning he seemed comfortable in his new TV job the season 42 premiere of Wheel of Fortune is Monday September 9th at 700 p.m. eastern time Ryan Secrest had always been known for his ability to adapt and bring a fresh perspective to any project he touched when the announcement came that he would be replacing Pat sagic as the new host of Wheel of Fortune there was a mix of excitement and skepticism among fans Pat sagic had been a beloved figure in American television for decades and the thought of anyone else taking his place felt almost sacriligious to longtime viewers but Ryan was undeterred he saw this as an opportunity to inject new life into the show to take the Reigns of a beloved institution and steer it into a new era the first day of filming with Ryan as host was charged with anticipation The Familiar set with its iconic puzzle board and Spinning Wheel had seen few changes over the years it was Timeless and that was part of its charm yet Ryan with his Keen eye for detail and his innate understanding of audience expectations knew that the show needed more than just a new face it needed a fresh energy that would draw not only the loyal fans but also a younger generation of viewers who had had grown up with a different kind of entertainment from the moment Ryan walked onto the set it was clear that things were going to be different he exuded confidence but more than that he brought a sense of excitement that was palpable the crew many of whom had worked with Pat sagic for years were curious to see how Ryan would approach the role would he try to mimic Pat's style or would he chart his own course it didn't take long for them to get their answer Ryan had spent weeks preparing caring for this moment he had watched countless episodes of Wheel of Fortune studying Pat's interactions with contestants his timing and his demeanor but Ryan was no stranger to hosting he had a long history of connecting with audiences whether it was through American Idol or his radio shows he knew that the key to success was being authentic and he was determined to be himself even if it meant diverging from The Familiar patterns that viewers had come to expect the first spin of the wheel under Ryan's watch was a moment of both reverence and reinvention Ryan didn't just stand there and wait for the wheel to stop he engaged with the contestants asking them about their lives their dreams their reasons for being on the show his approach was more personal more conversational and it immediately set a different tone there was laughter there was spontaneity and most importantly there was a genuine connection between Ryan and the players but it wasn't just Ryan's inter actions that set him apart it was his decision to break away from some of the more traditional elements of the show while Pat sagic had been known for his calm measured delivery Ryan brought a dynamic energy that was impossible to ignore he encouraged contestants to be themselves to show their excitement and to let loose the result was a more vibrant and Lively atmosphere that made the game feel less like a ritual and more like an event of course there were critics some some longtime fans felt that Ryan's approach was too casual that it lacked the gravitas that Pat had brought to the role they missed the familiar banter between Pat and Vanna White and they wondered if the show would lose its classic appeal
