Ryan Seacrest has been in the news since he had his hosting debuted on Wheel of Fortune. The 49-year-old is still growing into his new role, and he has received a lot of backlash from fans who are quick to compare him with the former co-host, Pat Sajak.
It seems Ryan has grown a thick skin. He is focused on improvement, and he is not responding to any of the comments from fans, nor has he been weighed down by them. Since taking over the hosting duties, Ryan has managed to improve the show’s ratings, and now he is ready to move forward with his latest plan.

With Ryan being in the good books of the show’s executive, the source revealed that her co-star Vanna White might be out of a job soon. The close source alleged that Ryan might consider a younger replacement for Vanna as part of his plans to make the show more appealing to a younger audience.
It won’t be surprising to see such moves as there have been rumors that the duo found it had to work together and find the right sync. Vanna considered leaving Wheel of Fortune following Pat Sajak’s retirement as she was already used to Pat’s hosting style for over three decades, making it harder to co-host with Ryan. Since the start of the latest season, Vanna has been trying her best to blend in with Ryan so far, but only the 49-year-old can allude to that fact as Vanna’s future on Wheel of Fortune remains uncertain.
