Ryan Seacrest Joins ‘Wheel Of Fortune’: The Inside Story On Vanna White’s Reaction

Alright, let’s cut to the chase. Ryan Seacrest has officially stepped into the spotlight on the iconic game show Wheel of Fortune, taking over for the legendary Pat Sajak. But here’s the scoop: it seems like Vanna White, the show’s beloved co-host, is having a bit of a tough time adjusting. “Vanna isn’t exactly thrilled with Ryan so far,” a source close to the show tells Closer. “It’s not that she dislikes him personally, but the chemistry between her and Pat was just so natural. With Ryan, it feels forced, and Vanna doesn’t want the loyal viewers and long-time fans to notice the difference.”

Why Vanna Stayed After Pat’s Departure

Now, here’s the backstory. When Pat Sajak, who’s been with the show for decades, announced his retirement, Vanna, 67, really considered leaving too. I mean, why stick around if the magic of the duo is gone, right? But then, she ended up re-signing her contract just as it was announced that Ryan Seacrest, 49, would be joining the show. “It was a tough decision for her,” the source reveals. “She thought long and hard about whether to stay or go, but ultimately, she decided to give it a shot with Ryan. Now, though, she’s starting to second-guess that choice.”

Can Ryan and Vanna Find Their Groove?

Let’s be real, folks. Chemistry on camera doesn’t happen overnight. The source adds, “Hopefully, Vanna and Ryan will develop a great rapport over time, and this awkward phase will pass. It’s crucial for the show’s success that they find a way to connect with each other and with the audience. After all, the fans have been with them for years, and they expect that same level of charm and connection that Pat and Vanna brought.”
