On his first day as Wheel of Fortune’s game show host, Ryan Seacrest could not hold back his eagerness as he took to Instagram to share moments behind the scenes. “A glimpse of my first day…and I’m still spinning with excitement!” his caption reads.

The 49-year-old was seen holding up a wildcard, spinning the wheel, and meeting some crew members. He looked ready and handsome in jeans, a long-sleeved black cardigan, and white sneakers as he walked around backstage, showing off memorabilia and some vintage footage.

With the reality of Pat Sajak’s retirement after four decades of hosting, fans seem to be more accepting of Ryan as they welcomed him warmly to his new role. “Ryan, you’re great at everything. You will be great at this. Good luck I’ll be watching,” one of his followers said.

Despite protests against Ryan’s appointment as Sajak’s replacement, some viewers are on his side, noting that there was no better person to replace the former show anchor. “We’ll miss Pat Sajak, but look forward to seeing you- You’ll be great as new host!” a second user quipped.

It’s official

Ryan will now work alongside Vanna White to keep America’s beloved game show running, with the latter maintaining her position as the letter-turner. She allegedly had a hard time bonding with Ryan and is said to be considering an early retirement depending on how well they work together in the first few episodes.

Sajak’s daughter, Maggie, is also a part of the program, working as the social media correspondent and an occasional understudy of Vanna’s. With the announcement of Sajak’s exit came speculations about Maggie’s promotion to co-anchor, leading disappointed fans to push back on the news of Ryan’s designation.
