The 78-year-old said farewell to his longtime hosting gig earlier this summer, but is now said to be looking for a way back in.

Pat Sajak is under fire for how he treated Wheel of Fortune viewers and contestants. For more than 40 years, Pat served as the host of Wheel of Fortune. During his decades-long tenure, he became one of the most well-known game show hosts of his time.

Nielsen data show “Wheel of Fortune” averaging 7.9 million viewers through Dec. 1, up 3% from a year ago during longtime host Pat Sajak’s final season.

Ryan Seacrest is proving to be a worthy successor to Pat Sajak as host of Wheel of Fortune — and he thoroughly prepared for his role. President of Sony game shows, Suzanne Prete spoke to the LA Times about the 50-year-old TV mainstay joining Wheel and gave insight into his preparation.

Notably, the passing of the torch from Sajak to Seacrest has gone well. The former Live with Kelly and Ryan host has been enthusiastic about the milestones he’ll hit and his future on the program, and he’s been open about the advice Sajak and White have given him.

Fans of Wheel of Fortune are arguing about Ryan Seacrest's future on the show as they say he is 'no Pat Sajak.'
