In the Instagram Collection, the new Wheel of Fortune host shared a snapshot of himself cooking in the kitchen.

The large pans appeared to have a mix of diced onions, carrots, and celery.

As the slideshow concluded, he poured extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) into the pan.

The American Idol star captioned the post: “Probably the simplest vegetarian meal…Just found what I had in the kitchen to make Italian Soffritto.

“It’s always great to improvise. Just don’t forget to top it off with some EVOO.”

In the comments section, a fan suggested: “It would be great if someday you have a cooking show!

“It is perfect for Ryan Seacrest. He did game shows early in his career.”

Ryan replied to the fan’s comment: “That would be a dream come true.”

NEW HOSTING GIG

Via Instagram, Wheel of Fortune recently announced the 48-year-old star will be taking over for Pat Sajak, 76, at the end of next season.

With a glammed-up photo of the TV star, the caption stated: “It’s official! Starting in 2024, Ryan Seacrest will take the stage as the new host of Wheel of Fortune.

“We’re so excited – Welcome Ryan!”

Ryan also shared a lengthy statement on social media and confirmed co-host Vanna White, 66, will remain on the puzzle board in September 2024.

He said: “I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak.

“I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years.”

Ryan concluded: “I can’t wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White.”

Pat has had an impressive run of hosting the popular game show for over 40 years.

As negotiations appear to be in play, a Sony rep told TV Line that the studio “is in active discussions to renew Vanna’s deal beyond her current contract.”

LEAVING AMERICAN IDOL?

Meanwhile, Ryan assured fans his new hosting gig would not interfere with his schedule for American Idol.

One person wrote: “Congrats Ryan but I hope you will still be on Idol!” while another pleaded, “Please tell me you’re not leaving American Idol!!!”

A bold follower asked: “Name something this man can’t do. Are you going to continue to host American Idol too?”

Ryan eased their worries and answered: “Yes! And thank you.”
