Fans of the venerable game show “Wheel of Fortune” have exciting news! The hunt is ended for the new host, and none other than the well-known television personality Ryan Seacrest has been selected. As the seasoned host of “American Idol” and a former co-host of “Live! with Kelly and Ryan,” Seacrest may be well-known to you. “I will be taking the wheel together with Kelly and Ryan,” he declared, beaming. With Seacrest in charge, be ready for a new chapter in “Wheel of Fortune” history!
Just one week ago, Pat Sajak announced that he will be retiring from hosting. His retirement will end after the current season in 2024. The New York Times reported sources stating that Seacrest has been chosen by Sony Pictures Television officials to assume the esteemed position. Furthermore, talks are in progress to retain the cherished co-host Vanna White on the show. Given how important she has been to the program, viewers will undoubtedly be happy to have her back.
A notable distinction between “Wheel of Fortune” and its sibling show, “Jeopardy!”, is how quickly hosts are chosen. With the passing of the great Alex Trebek, “Jeopardy!” had a protracted hunt for a new host; meanwhile, “Wheel of Fortune” had already named Seacrest a year ahead of schedule. This thoughtful choice will guarantee a smooth transition to the new era of the show, leaving fans excited to see what Seacrest has in store.
Ryan Seacrest’s name surfaced early on as the front-runner, accompanied by the likes of Andy Cohen and Whoopi Goldberg. But Vanna White was the one who received a ton of support from fans to take the role. Nevertheless, Seacrest was selected to succeed Pat Sajak because of his extensive hosting background and indisputable attractiveness. Seacrest has the charisma and contagious energy to take over the show and make it his own.
Being the host of “Wheel of Fortune” since 1983, Pat Sajak has contributed to the show’s longevity and made it one of the most watched game shows on television. Fans have continuously tuned in to experience the exhilarating gameplay and captivating persona of Sajak. Sajak wrote, “I’ll have more to say in the upcoming months,” as he considered retiring. It’s been a breathtaking journey. I sincerely appreciate your support, everyone. We excitedly welcome the new chapter with Seacrest and bid adieu to Sajak’s amazing stint.
The timing couldn’t be more ideal for Seacrest. He announced his departure from Kelly Ripa’s “Live” co-hosting in April. The difficulty of running a morning chat show in New York City while living in Los Angeles, where he also hosts “American Idol,” was mentioned as one of the reasons. Given that “Wheel of Fortune” is taped in Culver City, California, Seacrest would be a great fit for the host position. He will be able to keep enthralling audiences with his hosting skills thanks to this new endeavor.
Although there hasn’t been an official statement from the show’s management, Ryan Seacrest’s appointment as the next host of “Wheel of Fortune” has created a lot of talk. How do you feel about this exciting development? Would you rather see someone else take the helm of the show, or do you think Seacrest is the best fit? Talk about what you think, and let’s all rejoice over this significant announcement!
Did Sandra Bullock’s Son ‘Finally Confirm the Rumors’?
Online advertisements about the Oscar-winning actress and her son had appeared in various forms at the beginning of 2021.
In February 2021, a misleading online advertising appeared about Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock’s son. It read: “[Photos] Sandra Bullock’s Son Finally Confirms the Rumors.” The picture chosen by the ad’s creator showed her with a serious facial expression as if some sort of bad and damaging rumors were revealed.
In that story, we reported:
Despite what the ad said about Bullock’s son looking “familiar” to readers, it’s unlikely that anyone recognized her children because they are not public figures. The ad also claimed that Bullock’s son was “all grown up.” This was false.
Hollywood celebrity Sandra Bullock is loved by many for her passionate acting in many films. One life-long role Sandra took on was being a mother to her first child, an adopted son named Louis Bardot. In 2010, the Oscar winner was already in a four-year process of adopting a child with her then-husband Jesse James when she found out about his many affairs.
After their split, Bullock herself continued with the adoption of then-three-month-old cutie Louis from New Orleans. In 2015, the “Birdbox” (2018) star grew her brood and adopted her daughter, Laila, from Louisiana.
We also previously reported on similarly misleading ads about Tom Selleck purportedly “finally” confirming some rumors. Selleck’s trustworthy reputation and no-nonsense onscreen characters might be the reason why his face appears (without his permission) in so many misleading online ads.
