Is Ryan Seacrest Already Leaving ‘Wheel Of Fortune’?
Ryan Seacrest’s role as the host of Wheel of Fortune has become a hot topic. After taking over as the host in 2024, replacing the beloved Pat Sajak, fans started to wonder if Seacrest would stick around for the long run. Rumors have been circulating, suggesting that he might already be on his way out. But are these rumors true? Let’s take a closer look at what’s really happening.
Ryan Seacrest’s Future On The Game Show
Seacrest stepped in as the host of Wheel of Fortune in 2024 after Pat Sajak retired from the show after more than 40 years. Seacrest, who is known for hosting American Idol and On Air with Ryan Seacrest, was a natural choice to take over the role. However, just a few months into his time as host, speculation began to rise about his future on the show.
The rumors started in December 2024, when The US Sun reported that Maggie Sajak, the daughter of Pat Sajak, could take over as the host of Wheel of Fortune. Maggie, who had been working as the show’s social media correspondent since 2021, gained popularity for her behind-the-scenes posts and on-screen appearances. According to the report, if Seacrest didn’t sign a new contract, Maggie could step in as the permanent host. However, there has been no official word from either Seacrest or the show’s producers confirming this rumor.
Pat Sajak Might Take Over
In January 2025, the rumors took another turn. A report from Radar Online claimed that Pat Sajak might return to host the show, despite officially retiring in 2024. According to a source, Sajak never wanted to leave and was “forced” to retire. The source suggested that Sajak wanted to come back and reclaim his old job. While this is an interesting claim, there’s no official confirmation from Sajak or the show about him returning to the host chair.
There’s also speculation about Seacrest’s contract. Although he is believed to have signed a multiyear deal, some reports suggest that he may not be sticking around for the long haul. The source mentioned that Seacrest could leave sooner than expected, and Pat Sajak might be “waiting in the wings” to take over again.
So, what does all this mean? Right now, it seems like these are just rumors. Neither Seacrest nor Wheel of Fortune has made any official statements about him leaving the show. Fans will have to wait and see how things play out. Until then, Seacrest is still hosting, and the future of Wheel of Fortune remains uncertain. Do you think Pat Sajak will return as the host? Are the rumors about Ryan Seacrest going to make viewers not want to watch the game show? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Ryan is doing an impeccable job as host. The producers are fools if they dismiss him. He’s better than Pat ever was and I loved Pat.
Too bad the producers don’t get rid of Vanna. She’s never been worth the money she has been paid.
Ryan is great!!!!
I enjoy our current host, Ryan Seacrest. he does a great job!! I doubt Maggie would do as well as either her dad or Ryan.
I think Ryan is doing a great job! There were a lot of complaints about Pat while he was still on the show. I think people are just negative and love to complain about anything that makes others happy! It would be a huge mistake to get rid of Ryan or Vanna!
Ryan is doing a great job. Makes the game fun to watch. His interaction with contestants seems very genuine. Nothing against Pat Sajack but I enjoy the show more now. Keep Ryan.
