Ryan Seacrest is poised to take over hosting Wheel of Fortune following Pat Sajak's retirement this month. Sajak's legacy, however, is not far from Seacrest's mind as he pays tribute to the "standard" Sajak set for hosts across all of television. Almost exactly a year ago, Seacrest was announced as the new Wheel of Fortune host, tasked with taking over for season 42. Vanna White is, so far, slated to stay on as a letter-turner. The latest season with its new host is expected to premiere in September of this year. Upon his announcement as the new host, Seacrest also paid tribute to the aspirational groundwork Sajak laid out for all in his position across decades.
