‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Ryan Seacrest Makes Fun Of Pat Sajak First Day On Set

Ahead of Ryan Seacrest’s debut as the new Wheel Of Fortune host, the popular celeb recently shared a behind-the-scenes video from his first day on the set, including poking fun at the show’s iconic host, Pat Sajak. So, what did Seacrest have to say?

Wheel Of Fortune: Ryan Seacrest Ready To Take Over From Pat Sajak

When it comes to Wheel Of Fortune and Pat Sajak, the two were inseparable for decades. Along with Vanna White, they made the show into what it is today. So, when Sajak finally said he was stepping down as the host of the iconic game show, many viewers could not believe it.

While Vanna White is still staying on, Ryan Seacrest was named Pat’s successor. Viewers love Ryan as the host of shows like American Idol, but, not everyone is supporting him in taking on this new role, as many agree that Pat Sajak’s shoes are impossible to fill.

Seacrest Makes Fun Of Pat Sajak?

Ryan Seacrest shared a behind-the-scenes clip touring his new office, the Wheel Of Fortune set. Ryan got to explore his new surroundings, and he even got to spin the big wheel. Everything from old footage of Pat and Vanna played in the background, and there were even several pieces of iconic show memorabilia.

At one point in the clip, Ryan Seacrest finds himself standing next to a cardboard cutout of Pat Sajak, as Ryan asks in a tongue-in-cheek manner: “Who’s taller?”

Seacrest then answers his own question while standing next to the cardboard Pat Sajak, answering: “He is.”

Ryan Seacrest stands at 5-foot-7, while Pat Sajak stands at 5-foot-10. All in all, this was a hilarious moment from the clip Seacrest shared of his first official day on the set.

Many Wheel Of Fortune Fans Eager To Give Seacrest A Chance

As with all popular game shows that endure and stand the test of time, a changing of the guard is, unfortunately, inevitable. Family Feud has had a handful of hosts since it began. In similar fashion, Drew Carey took the reins of The Price Is Right from Bob Barker. Now, it’s Ryan Seacrest’s turn to step in for Pat Sajak.

While many Wheel Of Fortune fans agree that Pat’s shoes are impossible to fill, some viewers are a little more open-minded about the idea of Ryan taking over hosting duties for this iconic game show.

At the very least, many are willing to give him a chance. At the end of the day, that’s all anyone can ask for. In the meantime, it looks like Ryan certainly enjoyed himself while exploring his new office, too.
