Ryan Seacrest has officially banked two full months at Wheel of Fortune, stepping into the big shoes of Pat Sajak alongside Vanna White since making his debut September 9. Now that his hosting era is in full swing, fans felt ready to share how they really think he’s doing as the host.

On Monday (November 11), a fan took to the WoF Reddit forum to ask that very question. “Thoughts on the new Wheel of Fortune with Ryan Seacrest?” the fan titled the post. “For me personally, it’s decent and watchable enough. But I’m not really a big fan of the new designs and graphics in the show,” they added.

One of the top commenters pointed out that Seacrest’s contestant interviews, for which he doesn’t use cue cards like his puzzle-presenting predecessor, make the show seem less “stale.” They said the interviews are more in the style of Jeopardy!, where his peer Ken Jennings similarly takes one tidbit and volleys with the contestants off the cuff.

“I personally love the new set and I’m enjoying his banter with the contestants which was previously stale compared to Jeopardy!. Getting Vanna more involved is pretty cool too,” they wrote.

The consensus from other fans in the replies shared they are getting used to Seacrest (and the new set), even if the “new school” version of WoF is a big change.

“He’s a capable host so he’s doing fine. But of course it isn’t the same. People like Pat, or Alex on Jeopardy, or even Barker on TPIR have that old school charm, wit, and charisma that newer generation hosts don’t have. The old guard have a natural ease about them,” a third wrote. “Someone commented earlier they felt Ryan was fake. I don’t think he’s fake, but he’s media trained to follow things by the book. That’s why it comes off as fake.”

“Doing good so far,” a fourth simply wrote.

“Agreed. Perfectly serviceable from the start and will only find his style as he gets more games under him,” wrote a fifth.

“Ryan can host paint drying and it would be entertaining,” wrote a sixth. “That’s just Ryan. But honestly, it feels like a whole different show. It’s hard to explain. It’s the same format just with another host. But it doesn’t feel like ‘Wheel of Fortune’.”

A seventh wasn’t so won over, “I do not like Seacrest. Granted, I’ve watched less than 10 episodes of his version, but he’s constantly forgetting the minor rules and genuinely does not seem to be comfortable hosting a game show. Not helping is that I LOATHE the set re-design. They even brought back the border for the puzzle board and still made me dislike it.”

“I’m enjoying it. Im not a fan of the new split screen though,” wrote an eighth.

“The hosting transition was magnitudes better than Jeopardy!” one more surmised, referring to the infamous four-year host hunt to replace Alex Trebek, scoring 36 upvotes in the forum.

Meanwhile, there’s no question Seacrest’s replacing Sajak after four decades has brought renewed interest. His debut month was the strongest ratings month for WoF in the past three years. That said, there have been some questionable on-air moments.

In September, Seacrest suffered what fans dubbed his “first blooper”, involving a delayed reaction to rewarding a bonus round. Fans also called out the host for ruling against another player before the timer was up. There have been a few on-screen “glitches,” and some let-down trip destinations (Salem, Massachusetts?). Seacrest has also been called out for being more lenient on pronunciation rulings than Sajak was in recent weeks, last week allowing a blatantly botched take on a Texas town.

    As much as we love Pat, Ryan is doing a super fantastic job. He’s such a kind caring host. Perfect choice to carry out the show. I am also enjoying seeing he and Vanna together as well.

    The first couple of times I thought Ryan was awkward but now I think he’s getting more comfortable. I really like how he engages Vanna, she is just great with Ryan and has blossomed. I felt with Jack she was just a pretty face and had to laugh at his jokes. She has her own sense of humor that goes well with Ryan. Also, I like how Ryan is so genuine with the contestants. As much as I liked Sajak the show needed some changes from the same old same old.

    Both Ken and Ryan appear comfortable hosting their shows. I think they bring a youthful touch. As far as the audience goes, some people have difficulty with change.

      Ken was nervous and mechanical in his first few months, whereas Ryan stepped right in from day one. But he was more accustomed to notoriety than Ken. With that being said I like Ken, but after he “settled” in, he’s still a bit stoic. Ryan is diffinatey more comfortable in his role it is reflected by his interactions with the contestants.

    I like Ryan and am getting used to his style. I like the updated set also. I don’t think the prize puzzle needs to be so difficult as some have been lately, they’re not things you would think of. If you need a worn out nana I would love to play.

    I've watched the show since it first came on decades ago. We of course love Pat, but Ryan is very nice and doing a very honorable job replacing Pat. Your article is a lie about how people hate him. It's just not true.

    I think Ryan is doing a good. It’s going to take him sometime to get to hosting the show. He will relax in time. We all were so use to Pat for all these years. In time it will all work out. Let’s be positive towards Ryan and cheer him on.

    I think the show is 100 percent better and Ryan makes it that way. He is very personable and shows he likes people and cares. He brings some "pep" to the show. The new setting is fine....people shouldn't be so picky. I was getting bored with the old show and didn't always watch it anymore but NOW....I wouldn't miss it. I am from Canada and my neighbors feel the same way. Pat S. was getting irritable at times in the last year if people kept picking more letters and not solving the puzzle. Ryan is the BEST.

    While the new set looks like a bag of Skittles and a pinball machine had a pillow fight (ugh!! It hurts my eyes, and is hard to watch for me, but I am loyally watching & taking my ibuprofen...), Ryan seems to have adjusted pretty well to the job. I have noticed all the mistakes mentioned in other comments but, like any job, practice makes perfect. I see him improving quickly. Pat Sajak has always been so funny. I've thought many times that his dry wit wasn't as well known & applauded as he deserved. Ryan's style is very engaging, he's no Sajak but he's great at the comebacks, too! He's warmer than Pat was, that's his style. Pat would occasionally come across as rude (or in a bad mood), but so far Ryan maintains a cheerful and encouraging attitude

    I think he is the right choice

    I have watched the wheel for many many years and I think Ryan is doing a great job. I have noticed the changes in the decor but I did not think that was Ryan's doing, but if it is so be it. He has made a few glitches but this is a new job, no one is perfect, so remember that, Pat made quite a few in his last year and he had been host for years!!!

    I was skeptical at first but now I really like Ryan. He’s fresh and not scripted so much. I loved Pat but he never went off script. He said the same things every show, including holdin up 2 fingers for “clue # 2”. I Love the new set! It is so colorful and stunning! Vanna seems to be “refreshed” as well. I also like the split screen. It is great to be able to see the puzzle for more than 1 second. I sometimes hit pause while I’m figuring it out. I’d like the camera to stay on the puzzle for at least a few seconds. All in all I approve of the changes but still miss you Pat! Enjoy your retirement!

    To be fair Alex and Pat didn't use cue cards when they were younger. That being said, IMO , Ken and Ryan are near perfect replacements.

    Ryan Seacrest’s beginning in WHEEL OF FORTUNE was stiff and not very interesting, but his last few months, he has been incredible, He’s on- the-spot funny; he listens to people and interacts with them. You can see, her really likes people, his warmth or and intelligence really shine through. The show’s producers really hit one out of the park with him. We watch JEOPARDY, but Ryan Seacrest is the draw for WHEEL OD FORTUNE! Congrats, Ryan!

  34. R

    RedPalmtree

    I think that Ryan is doing a good job. He maintains the same likeable persona that we loved about Pat, and has a nice sense of humor. You can never re-create Pat, but I think that Ryan is a good replacement and has been easy to get used to.

  35. C

    CyanCherries

    I too think Ryan is a breath of fresh air. He is fun and Vanna appears to be more involved and having fun as well. The whole atmosphere seems more relaxed and a little less stiff, maybe.

  36. P

    PurpleBattery

    I hope this lady beats the man in a dress called Amy that took the female total of games one if I remember right. He is undeserving since he is a man, not a female!!! Wrong of Jeopardy to give him that award. .

  37. P

    PurpleBattery

    Ryan is doing a great job! But the stage set looks horrible, wheel spokes everywhere. Pretty scenes are all gone.

  38. G

    GreenApple

    One thing. When a contestant wins the prize puzzle and the value (hypothetically) is $8,000, and they have won $5,000 cash (total $13,000), Ryan says they won $13,000 AND a trip. No. Misleading! They won $13,000 INCLUDING the trip.

  39. G

    GreenApple

    Ryan has looked SO MUCH BETTER this past week (veterans). Much more professional in suits. BUT … would someone please sew his pockets shut. He ruins the way his jackets hang with hands in his pockets. Tonight (Friday, Nov 15) he looked very nice in a double breasted suit. Then, later in the show, his left hand was in his pocket and messed up how his suit jacket hung.

    Too many nights I told my husband his clothes looked like Goodwill rejects. So nice to see the improvement.

  40. P

    PurpleTrumpet

    He is not near as good as Pat was.He seems to be trying to hard and looks uncomfortable.

  41. B

    BlueTooth

    He comes off to phoney, too overly friendly. Tries to touch everyone and get onto people's personal space.

    Running the show he seems good at working the time al allotted.

    The set is just too busy, too many stars on the floor and too many graphics around the set.

    Still a very good show to watch.

  42. G

    GreenHat

    Ryan is great and I'm enjoying watching every night.

    We're all human and we all make mistakes, which I feel is extremely normal with Ryan considering it has not been that long since he started.

    I find him very sincere with the contestants and being a game show host fits him well.

  43. P

    PurpleCocktail

    I personally think that the commenters don't care for Ryan Seacrest and as a result they'll say anything to discredit him. I saw wheel fortune off and on for the years it was on the air. I have watched Ryan Seacrest through many years of being on the air before he came to wheel. I think Ryan is doing a good job. The person that said that he bought the person who bought the name of Lubbock Texas. I don't think Ryan had anything to do with the decision to allow the guest to watch the pronunciation of the town. It was obvious that Ryan was watching the producers of the show to make sure that they allowed the guest to pronounce it the way she did. It had nothing to do with Ryan making the decision.

    I think people need to let Ryan do the job that he's doing and he will do just fine. Stop harassing Ryan and the show! That's my opinion!

  44. G

    GreenPretzel

    My hubby and I like Ryan Seacrest. He is really personable with the contestants. Just a down to earth friendly game show host. Love the way he connects with the contestants. Makes the show more fun. We think that the show picked the perfect game show host.

  45. P

    PurpleDucky

    He’s like a drill Sargent. Fake smile when contestant loses out on $100000.00. No Compassion. Big shoes to fill but doesn’t appear genuine. Get his hands out of pockets.

  46. G

    GreenCupcake

    He’s doing very well. My wife and I watch the show nightly interacting Ithaca Vanna seems smooth

  47. R

    RedSushi

    DON'T JUDGE ANYONE UNTIL YOU STAND IN THEIR SHOES. ALEX T. WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL HOST AND A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING. PAT S. WAS A GREAT HOST as well. When you've watched someone for 30 or 40 years they become part of your family. So give the new guys a break! Great job love you both good luck.

  48. R

    RedBulb

    I think Ryan is doing a fantastic job! I watched pat from the beginning and even though he has charisma and pretty much stayed the same the last 10 years, you gotta remember that doing the same thing every day for over 30 years has to get a little boring, saying the same lines repeatedly every day much get old. So it's kinda expected that you can get "blah"on a TV role. Anyway I just love ryans upbeat energy and you gotta expect him to make a few mistakes being new at hosting WOF! (Go back even 30 years w/ pat and see how he does) the reason for the new set is obviously everything new because its a new start for this generation. Us old timey wheel watcher should expect some change. Just go with it and appreciate the game still. The puzzles are somewhat updated but that's because most of the contestants are under 40 and they wouldn't understand the older phrases in the puzzles, keep it up Ryan you're doing a great job!!!

  49. P

    Ryan Seacrest is doing a wonderful job. At first was a couple of bumps in the road, but he seemed to master them. He is so personable. Makes a great host.

    I don't even miss what's his name.

    CyanBus

    Ryan's doing pretty well, but my pet peive is he is always standing next to the board with his hands in his pockets! Makes me wonder....looks like he's bored. I like the other changes so far. I still miss Pat! He was the greatest!!!!!!

  52. C

    CyanTag

    I think Ryan is better than Pat. He gets involved with the contestants and feels for them when they hit bankrupt or lose a turn. He'll get better as time goes on. It's more fun to watch that with Pat.

  53. B

    BlueLocomotive

    Don't like the more intense colors of the set.

  54. P

    PurpleSubmarine

    I think Ryan is doing a great job but he needs a new wardrobe manager. No plaid jackets please! Stick to the basic black or navy blue. The khaki/tan ones were awful!

    Also keep hands out of pockets!

  55. B

    BlueSailboat

    Although Ryan is the host, he should not make himself the focus of the show. Pat used to look at his contestants when he explained rules or what was coming next. Ryan looks at the camera and the camera does a close-up of him while he explains to the viewer what's coming next.

    The contestants should be getting the focus.

    Ryan is the host; he is not the show.

  56. P

    PurpleAnchor

    He needs to relax a little. Seems too rushed. Otherwise doing really great. But his wardrobe doesn't compare to Pat's!

  57. O

    OlivePlanet

    I enjoy the show. When someone else takes the place of the host, he must bring in his own ideas to make the viewers interested. Some viewers are used to Pat Sajak and his show and do not not want change. Pat did a great job. I wish him the best. Ryan keep on striving your goal!

    What I miss most is that Pat Sajak was always dressed in a suit and a fantastic tie , very classy guy. Ryan looks like off the rack style although I know he's rich and can afford a better wardrobe. I miss the old set, this new set is to flashy. Thank God Vanna White is still there, keeps the show going for sure

  67. O

    OrangeWeights

    I don't like Ryan Seacrest at all. He sounds so fake in all of his responses. And when he talks to Vanna before she walks to the letter board he acts like they're a couple. I dont like that. I like the colorful new set, but when all 3 contestants are shown in the triple toss up you can barely see them. The background behind them needs to be lightened up so you can see them better. Because of all of this, if it weren't for Vanna still being there I'm not sure I would continue to choose WOF over other shows.

  68. B

    BlueSailboat

    Ryan Seacrest is too sissified for my tastes. The show needs a comedian to spice it up.

    I think he's doing a good job and he and Vanna seem to enjoy working together. Looks like Maggie was being groomed to replace Vanna in the future. I think the new format with her on less, is fine. It wasn't necessary to have her on daily. I'm sure she'll do fine as a replacement for Vanna at some point in the future when Vanna decides to leave.

    Ry Ry is coming off too stiff sounding more like an announcer than smooth conversation. Side note: local trips suck falling flat when announced. You could hear the air being expelled when told to contestants. I watch with less enthusiasm than before. Maybe I will warm up more as Ry Ry gets more comfortable. 🤔

  86. O

    OlivePlanet

    I LOVE the new WoF. Ryan is doing a fantastic job as he brings new energy to the show. I’m glad Vanna is included more in the banter. Ryan’s smile is like a ray of sunshine. Looking forward to watching WoF for many years to come.

  87. B

    BlueLocomotive

    I've always been a huge "Wheel of Fortune" fan. Yes, it will take time to get used to Ryan Seacrest's hosting style, but he'll be more comfortable with it soon. I'm giving it time, as WOF is my favorite game show. Sadly, my parents have hated it since Pat retired.

  88. O

    OrangeBike

    I like Ryan as host of WoF, and unlike others, I love the new, modernized set! I enjoyed Pat, but it was time to retire! The old set was uninteresting and didn't reflect a gameshow vibe. The new set has given the show a desperately- needed face lift!

    Give Ryan a break. Stop comparing him to other hosts. So many people get set in their way and refuse to have an open mind.

  92. B

    BluePaw

    I used to watch the show years ago and the way they play now has significantly changed. I was disappointed that Pat encouraged players to solve puzzles while there was possible money to be made. I heard him saying are you sure you want to spin? Isn't it a game show where the objective is to make as much money as possible so the person who does win, gets a chance to win an extra $100,000, or other great prizes or money on a final puzzle board? I like Ryan Seacrest so I do hope he does fit in, Pat liked to tell jokes so people liked him for that as well.

    I don't like him doing the show. Stopped watching it. He's too fake.

    Ryan speaks too fast, and isn't thoughtful when responding to contestants. I'm not a fan of the split screen or the design in the room. Ryan touches everyone way too much. He acts like he's had too much caffeine before the show. Slow it down, and speak more calmly rather than so hyper.

    Let me say first of all I love Ryan on American Idol. On wof he seems like a midway busker over pronouncing his words and trying way to hard. Hopefully he calms down and becomes more natural. In the meantime I turn the volume way down on the tv so he isn’t as annoying.

    Don’t like it at all.Tonight was my 2nd time watching as I disliked the 1st. There’s so many errors with Seacrest. He doesn’t announce the puzzles accordingly, the toss ups, Doesn’t go near players after they solve a puzzle, and so many other errors. He make it seem it’s just a hefty paycheck for him. Will not be watching anymore

    I personally have never liked the show, and, now I have more reasons for that. Seacrest is one of those "pretty faces" that seems to be constantly roaming around trying to make it big òn TV. Don't want sajack back but this guy is a total joke.

    Tuned in many times to the new host and format. Made excuses for host and new set in an effort to continue watching this American tradition. Even the contestants present themselves differently. Subtle... But it's there. I no longer consider Wheel part of my TV watching schedule.

    He's doing fine, but PLEASE stop saying, "Sorry 'bout that", when a contestant loses big money or a trip by landing a bankrupt or lose a turn spin. The phrase is so flip and superficial. Pat seemed more authentic and understanding in that situation.

    I don't like Ryan Seacrest as host of Wheel of Fortune. He talks too much! He has to comment on everything a contestant says or does. He has to interject , he likes hearing himself talk. You don't get close-ups of Vanna at the puzzle board any more.

    I won't be surprised when the day comes and it's "Ryan Seacrest's Wheel of Fortune Show". Wait for it. I think there is probably a better host out there. When and if they want to renew his contract he'll get whatever he wants, that's the difference between the selected hosts for Jeopardy and TPIR.

    I never liked him on any show sorry. He has the most phone smile ever. He is doing a decent job in spite of that

    Ryan has an annoying habit of constantly saying the contestants name over & over again. He seems uncomfortable in every aspect of the show & phoney when trying to express excitement. Pat didn't have to pretend which is why he is missed. I know things change example, Drew Cary on Price Is Right was a great fit but there must be someone better than Ryan. 🤞

    Seacrest? Is not consistent. His look is always different. Kajack was always dressed in a shirt and tie, looked very upscale, not like someone walking in off the street asked to do something on stage ! Very professional!!

      Ridiculous. The contestants dress up or dress down, from suits to sweats. Ryan is a snappy dresser, casual or formal.

        Pat was always dressed in a suit and a fantastic tie. Ryan looks like he just came to work at the store any store. It doesn't look like he appreciates being the host... Thank God we have Vanna!

    Sometimes he keeps his hands in his pockets too much. Shouldn't be much n at all. And, his enthusiasm seems forced and a little fake.

      The last few seasons, Pat was getting a little like a grumpy old man. Ryan is energetic and fun.
