After Ryan Seacrest ’s new job hosting “Wheel Of Fortune” was announced on Tuesday , a lot of social media users were game to roast him.
The “American Idol” emcee confirmed the news he is replacing host Pat Sajak , who announced earlier this month he was retiring after 41 seasons with the show.
Sajak previously said the upcoming season in September will be his last , meaning that Seacrest will start in September 2024.
Considering Seacrest has been the host of a successful syndicated morning radio show, has hosted ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” since 2005, is currently hosting “American Idol,” and recently ended a six-season run on ABC’s morning show “Live with Kelly Ryan,” many Twitter users had snarky comments about his latest gig.
One person noted that the announcement isn’t that big of a surprise, considering Sajak suggested it 11 years ago.
