As a seasoned gamer with a lifetime of game show watching under my belt, I’ve got to admit that I’m pretty excited about Ryan Seacrest taking over as the host of Wheel of Fortune for Season 42. It’s like witnessing history being made right in front of my eyes!
Since Ken Jennings has become a familiar face as the host for every episode of Jeopardy!, another legendary game show is preparing to welcome a new leader. Starting with Season 42, Ryan Seacrest will step up to host Wheel of Fortune. The initial episodes for the season were already taped prior to the fall TV schedule, and it looks like producers are rolling out the red carpet for him in true Wheel fashion, even incorporating the iconic letter arrangement “RSTLNE.”
Individuals who have watched an entire episode of Wheel of Fortune can quickly recall the six bonus round letters that contestants can use as a foundation. Interestingly, these first two letters coincide with Ryan Seacrest’s initials, providing an opportunity for a playful tribute to the incoming host through wordplay. Take a look at the Instagram video featuring American Idol presenter, Ryan Seacrest, and his new colleague, Vanna White.

It’s clear that the smaller replica of the show’s famous wheel is adorable, and it has sparked an idea in me – it could be a wonderful cover for a turntable. Despite the fact that “Wheel of Fortune” started when vinyl records were popular, this isn’t about that. It’s about a new individual taking over to start a fresh chapter…or rather, to kick off a new era.
Instead of revealing Seacrest’s new era with traditional acronyms like “BRT” (Bonus Round Time), why not rearrange the Bonus Round letters to create a unique phrase, such as “Ryan Seacrest Terrifically Leads New Era” or “…Totally Loves New Era”. This way, whenever he actually starts this new phase, the meaning will be restored. To add some extra flair, Seacrest could pronounce the full phrases rather than just the letters each time, causing a delightful chaos.
Some fans have expressed disapproval since Seacrest took over from Pat Sajak, a sentiment evident in the Instagram comments. However, the general response to the acronym video has been overwhelmingly positive and enthusiastic.
- If Ken Jennings can do it on Jeopardy, Ryan has this in the bag. I think Ken is terrific on Jeopardy. Ryan will be equally terrific hosting Wheel. 😍 – @throopnyc
- This needs to be in the WoF store! – @thebowtieteacher_
- Very exciting!!! *sings in soprano* – @emilydong_
- Have watched two weeks worth of shows in the studio audience. America is going to love you. The show is going to be revitalized with you and team @officialvannawhite – @dustin.james87
- Ryan will just be his own lovable self and do a great job on Wheel! No one can fill Pat Sajak’s legendary shoes, but there’s no need to!! Each are legends in their own ways!! But Ryan will do Pat proud, just like he did Dick Clark proud!!❤️🙌 – @lydias_threadz
- Can’t wait Ryan. You will find a way to make this show your own. Congratulations – @reidjodey
Is anyone else feeling like Vanna White has been tricked once more without a unique acronym of her own? Jokingly speaking, I hope she receives proper recognition during the upcoming season, and it doesn’t turn into an all-encompassing Ryan Seacrest celebration for the entire year.
In simple terms, Pat Sajak will return to our TV screens soon for the prime-time version of “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.” However, starting now, Ryan Seacrest takes over for the syndicated broadcast, and it’s likely that he’ll be the host in future celebrity-focused seasons as well.
