Fans expressed their worries for the TV personality after he appeared in a teaser for Friday night’s episode of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

The preview was shared on the show’s official Instagram page, showing a hilarious moment between Ryan and contestant Rhetta.

Ryan tried to ease the comedian’s nerves after she admitted she was nervous about competing, given her limited knowledge and skills of the game.

Oliver Hudson and Joey McIntyre also competed to give their winnings to charity.

WORRIES FOR RYAN

However, all viewers could focus on was Ryan’s seemingly thinner figure and raced to the comments to share their thoughts.

“Ryan is too thin, and his face looks gaunt,” one person wrote.

“I think it’s because the man does not rest! I’m always wondering how he even sleeps!!” someone else replied.

“Is Ryan ok?” wondered a third, while another asked, “Is that Ryan Seacrest? He is not looking well.”

Ryan recently addressed his drastic weight loss, insisting that it’s from his dedication to a Mediterranean-style diet and his exercise routine, which includes Pilates and strength training.

However, fans have long feared for the radio host and that he might’ve taken on too much with his multiple jobs.

In addition to his hosting gigs on Wheel of Fortune and its spin-off, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, Ryan is the long-running host of American Idol; he still hosts his iHeartRadio show and is the founder and producer of Ryan Seacrest Productions, among other ventures.

Over the summer, fans again expressed concerns about the 50-year-old’s health after he posted photos on Instagram of his slender physique.

Many thought he looked “too skinny” and “frail,” and begged him not to lose any more weight.

But Ryan has appeared in good spirits, as he was recently photographed enjoying a day out with his new girlfriend, Australian celebrity realtor Camille Orders.

Ryan Seacrest’s Current Jobs

Ryan Seacrest is quite the workaholic, with the Hollywood multiphenate juggling perhaps more ongoing jobs than any other A-lister:

-Host of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve on ABC
-Host of American Top 40 on KIIS-FM
-Host of On Air with Ryan Seacrest on KIIS-FM
-Host of American Idol since its very first season in 2001
-Host of Wheel of Fortune as of 2024

Ryan has exited many previous roles in the past few years to get where he is today, including as an executive producer of Hulu’s The Kardashians and co-host of Live! with Kelly and Mark.

Hard work pays off; according to Celebrity Net Worth, Ryan’s worth a fortune of $450 million

The U.S. Sun exclusively obtained the pics, which were taken about one year after his split from model Aubrey Paige, 27.

CAN’T STOP, WON’T STOP

Regarding his bustling career, the game show host doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

He only took on the Wheel of Fortune hosting spot last September, replacing longtime host Pat Sajak following his retirement.

Pat continued to host Celebrity Wheel of Fortune until this season, when he passed it off to Ryan and his co-host Vanna White.

“I can’t wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White,” Ryan said in a statement announcing his new role.
