"Ryan Seacrest Takes Over as 'Wheel of Fortune' Host"

Ryan Seacrest will replace Pat Sajak as the host of "Wheel of Fortune" in 2024, according to sources. The quick decision by Sony Pictures Television, which produces the show, suggests they are hoping to avoid the succession fiasco that nearly overwhelmed their other hit game show, "Jeopardy!" Vanna White, Sajak's longtime co-host, is under contract for another year and is in negotiations to continue with the show. "Wheel of Fortune" remains one of the most popular entertainment programs on television, with an average of 8.6 million viewers a night.
