They hire Seacrest because he's even tempered, handsome and he'll sell the bullshit story about "how much hard work he does".
He pushes that fake narrative about how much work is involved in being a television host. It's the easiest job in the world.
He has nice teeth and he can read from a teleprompter. His job isn't hard work at all but he's good at selling that concept.
Pat Sajak is a MAGA shithead. Unlike Alex Trebek and Bob Barker, Pat Sajak is not a beloved well-meaning icon of game show hosts. He’s just a pompous asshole.
I mean to be fair, Bob Barker has an incredible number of harassment allegations against him.
And Alex had very weird politics. On the one hand he was a genuine supporter of environmental conservation, LGBTQ rights and representation of women and POC in media. On the other, he lent his name to some questionable right wing fundraisers, he was sympathetic to the 2010 Tea Partiers, he was one of those “MeToo went too far” types, he had the occasional racist and sexist insensitive quip on Jeopardy, and a 2018 profile of him noted that he always had Fox News on in his dressing room
Had NO idea! Wouldn’t equate him with either, just that he’s been the host for as long as I can remember so when I think of WoF I think of him and Vanna White.
Exactly. Thank you. These male celebrities are some of the worst guys on the planet.
They let these vulnerable women get used and mistreated, these guys steal money and creative ideas from charming and talented women.
There's no reason to admire these men. Even the so-called "good guys" always turn out to be total shitbags and liars. So few of the men in the industry are noble or brave.
Bob's shoes were far too big to be filled, but Drew was at least a good choice w/ good energy that works for the show...idk that I feel that way about Seacrest? 🤔
This is my exact thought! Drew is not Bob by a long shot, but he has that game show-y energy. Ryan Seacrest is just so meh… even as a host on American Idol he wasn’t that interesting or engaging.
Yes Drew’s energy is there but I think for me they both lack the charm of their predecessors? I’m also admittedly biased because I grew up watching Bob and Pat for decades but still!
It was a little awkward when Drew took over, but he’s been great. It also blows my mind that he’s been host the same amount of time that Bob was during my life.
Omg my mom and I noticed this. It makes her irate - he is so condescending to contestants and makes really weird / rude comments. It’s gross. Happy he’s leaving tbh.
How in the world has Ryan Seacrest managed to take over for Casey Kasem, Dick Clark, Regis Philbin, *and now* Pat Sajak???
This feels like maybe a sold soul situation. Or maybe television and radio executives are just so lazy that they never explore other options. I'd believe either scenario.
>How in the world has Ryan Seacrest managed to take over for Casey Kasem, Dick Clark, Regis Philbin, *and now* Pat Sajak???
I'm sure Brian Dunkleman is asking the same question.
I mean he's an unthreatening, non-political, white cishet male who I imagine is appealing to many lucrative demographics and via the tenants of capitalism that makes him the "best."
Can we steer away from defaulting to a host in the form of a white male please?! Ryan Seacrest go away please, you are the reason why the Kardashians are a thing and I will never forgive you for that!

I’m going to miss Pat Sajacks very thinly veiled disdain for 95% of the contestants. His seething hatred is what made the show fun.
Seacrest is going to be polar opposite.
Listen, I don't like Pat but I'm really over Ryan hosting everything under the sun.
We really couldn't find anyone else? I know WOF doesn't seem intensely beloved like Jeopardy but I'd have loved a proper search for a replacement lol
If you had asked me a year ago if I could hate a WoF host more than Pat (or his daughter as a potential replacement) I would have said no.
Then they picked Ryan Seacrest as the replacement.
Ryan Seacrest is like a cockroach. In that he cannot be killed and he will not go away. A million years from now he will be scouring the earth, unchanged by any sort of evolution or environmental disaster.
DOES HE FUCKING SLEEP? Asking for a friend
He has shark DNA. If he stops moving he dies
he's probably got an unlimited stash of Adderall.
Wheel of Fortune is a fairly easy gig. They film a months worth of episodes in 4 days (two consecutive days, twice a month).

 Me calling the squad to find out how I can stop Ryan from hosting anything ever again
Right can we please make him stop
Ryan hustles! lol. I don’t blame him.
Can’t even imagine WoF without Pat Sajak.

I often say Pat Sajak is the devil lol. There’s something about him even as a kid, I just didn’t like.
Had NO idea! Wouldn’t equate him with either, just that he’s been the host for as long as I can remember so when I think of WoF I think of him and Vanna White.
Barker was sexual harasser and abuser. Few male celebs are "good guys." Even the good ones keep up a code of silence for their problematic bros.

It’ll be like having Drew Carey take over as host of The Price is Right. He doesn’t fill Bob’s shoes and I know it’ll feel the same with Ryan.

GTFO. Really?
He has been hosting since 2007!
My brain is melting.
Pat Sajak is a Trump voter. No love lost.
For real. He's become super condescending over the years too on the show.
Omg my mom and I noticed this. It makes her irate - he is so condescending to contestants and makes really weird / rude comments. It’s gross. Happy he’s leaving tbh.
Ugh. He seemed like a nice guy. But won’t miss him now. Thanks.
Well.
June 7. What we all want to know but don’t want to click.
Bless you
Thank you!
That's enough Ryan Seacrest!

Ryan seacrest being heterosexual is VERY questionable imo
So tired of Ryan seacrest.

How!??

He was the co-creator and producer of the their show, unfortunately.

Will that cockroach ever go away? He’s responsible for the Kardashians.
How??)
He put them on reality tv.
Why always him?
I’m tired of seeing the guy who’s famous for being handsome everywhere!!
Cameron Mathison would have been a good choice too
What dark secret does he have on everyone in Hollywood?!
I feel like Ryan Seacrest is the do-it-all host we never wanted.
interesting choice
Ryan Seacrest is like a cockroach. In that he cannot be killed and he will not go away. A million years from now he will be scouring the earth, unchanged by any sort of evolution or environmental disaster.
Fuck Pat.
I’m still annoyed by this lol. I was so hoping they were going to do guest hosts like jeopardy did before finding someone.
No!
Nooooo 😣😤😭
But will bring back the shopping round? They should bring that back. It’s weird.
I’m sick of Ryan and The Rock being everywhere and infiltrating every IP
Ed Grimley will be devastated.
