Wheel Of Fortune: Ryan Seacrest

Ryan Seacrest has faced more backlash than anyone since before he even took over hosting duties at Wheel Of Fortune. Based on the most recent critique from the game show fanbase, many viewers seem to think that Seacrest is “stoned” on the show. So, what are viewers saying, and why do they think this?

Wheel Of Fortune: Ryan Seacrest Has Had A Target On His Back For A Long Time

As soon as Ryan Seacrest was announced as Pat Sajak’s successor on Wheel Of Fortune, he has had a big target on his back. Even before he even hosted his first episode of the popular game show, people were already calling for him to be fired and replaced.

Since taking the reins at Wheel Of Fortune, watchers continue to find new things to complain about and nitpick in regard to how he hosts the game. Seacrest may be a perfect fit for a show like American Idol, which he has been hosting from the beginning. However, when it comes to Wheel Of Fortune, many people are still adamant that he is not the right person for the job.

  • One recent commenter said: “My wife swears that Ryan Seacrest hosts the show stoned every night. I think the idea is ludicrous. Outlandish, even. And yet, my wife is pretty savvy about these things. She’s rarely wrong when her sixth sense kicks in. Her evidence? She says his eyes are the giveaway. Red and droopy. Could there be anything to this? (Not that I’d judge him for it, mind you.).”
  • A second commenter chimed in, adding: “He’d have to be high all day long while they’re filming. I feel like this is unlikely for Ryan.”
  • A third person said: “He just has naturally half closed eyes, similar to me He is low energy here compared to other shows and his radio show but of course, that means nothing. The man is just tired.”

Some Wheel Of Fortune Fans Are Giving Ryan Seacrest A Break

With as much hate as Ryan Seacrest has received since becoming the new Wheel Of Fortune host, it isn’t all bad. Some viewers are slowly coming around to the idea of him as the new host, much in the same way that The Price Is Right fans did when Drew Carey took over from Bob Barker.

To his credit, Ryan Seacrest has done things to make the show his own, and to put his own spin on things, and some Wheel Of Fortune fans have been more forgiving than others as he adjusts to this new hosting role, especially with the world watching his every move.

  1. Ryan has been a breath of fresh air for Wheel of fortune ! I really don’t think he has missed a beat. He’s clever, quick witted, and just funny and entertaining ALL at the same time!! That may explain why he is so busy, ya think??
    Pat was great for many years and established himself in the great history of the show. It was time to move on. Here’s to Pat and Ryan! Long live Wheel of Fortune!!
