Fan concern for Wheel of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest has been buzzing following his most recent appearance on the show.

Following the kick-off of the brand new season of the fan-favorite game show, fans couldn’t help but notice Seacrest’s changed appearance compared to the previous season.

One fan took note on Reddit, posting to a popular thread for the show, “Why is nobody talking about how heavy Ryan’s contour is this season?”

“I feel like the problem is something with the eyebrows. I can’t quite decide what it is,” another added.

But others began speculating about why his appearance had changed so much. One claimed, “I’m thinking he’s taking Ozempic/Zepbound et al and shouldn’t be.”

“He looks like a sickly cartoon character. I am worried about his health,” one worried fan said, as another added, “Just looks ill.”

Over on Instagram, more followers took note of Seacrest’s changing appearance, as one said, “I see you a little too lean. You must bulk up a little.”

“Ryan, I love you but you need to lighten up on the makeup!!!” One more fan suggested.
