Wheel of Fortune fans are divided on their opinion of Ryan Seacrest as Pat Sajak’s replacement on the game show, with a Reddit post sparking a debate about his performance three months in.
A little over three months into his hosting gig at Wheel of Fortune, some fans are still not convinced that Ryan Seacrest is the right person to replace beloved host Pat Sajak, who hosted the game show for 41 seasons.
Viewers seem to be divided on their opinion of the new host, debating his performance and comparing him to Pat in a Reddit thread titled “Ryan’s no Pat.”
While he has gotten off to kind of a rocky start, die-hard fans of the show appear to be warming up to Ryan, who seems to finally be finding his footing despite speculation that his run on the show may be temporary.
In the Reddit post, one fan of the show shared their disappointment in Wheel of Fortune’s new host, writing: “I’m sorry, but I can’t stomach Ryan. His delivery is smug and he seems so condescending.”

The opinion proved to be controversial when fans came to Ryan’s defense, sparking a debate about whether he is failing to live up to Pat’s legacy or if the show’s fanbase is just experiencing growing pains.
The 77-year-old announced his retirement in 2023 after more than 8,000 episodes, taking his final spin in June 2024. Ryan, a seasoned television producer and presenter, took over the role as host of one of America’s most watched game shows in September.
One user replied: “I prefer Ryan. I found Pat snarky and condescending,” with another fan echoing: “Pat can be smug too. I’m cool with Ryan.”
Viewers who agreed with the post claimed that “he’s trying but it just isn’t working” and that “He’s definitely no Pat, but then again, no one is.”
Despite a few quirks and annoying tendencies, it seems as though fans are starting to get used to the former American Idol host, especially after a few months have passed, giving fans time to get “over the shock of Pat leaving.”
Only time will tell if Ryan can fill Pat’s shoes.
