‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Why Fans Say Ryan Seacrest’s Days Are Numbered

New Wheel Of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest has been under an incredible amount of scrutiny since he took over for Pat Sajak. Even though he has put his best foot forward when it has come to the huge shoes to fill, many viewers are still rooting against him, with many saying that his days as the host are numbered. So, what are fans saying?

Wheel Of Fortune: Ryan Seacrest Stepped Into The Lion’s Den With New Gig

It is not a stretch to say that no one has been under a microscope the same way that Ryan Seacrest has been since taking over hosting duties on Wheel Of Fortune from Pat Sajak. Game show fans love tradition when it comes to their favorite game shows, and changing something like the host is a major deal that can easily make or break a program.

Even Ryan Seacrest has been open about feeling the pressure since he has been in the hot seat. Seacrest may have years of experience hosting shows like American Idol, but, taking on the world of Wheel Of Fortune is a completely different beast, as Ryan has found out since taking the job.

Fans Say Seacrest Is On Borrowed Time As The Game Show Host

Based on recent comments from Wheel Of Fortune fans, many already feel as though Ryan Seacrest has overstayed his welcome on the show. Recently, many commenters came forward with their thoughts on why they think this will be a short-lived gig for him.

One recent Wheel Of Fortune commenter said: “I’m sorry, but I can’t stomach Ryan. His delivery is smug and he seems so condescending.”
A second commenter chimed in, adding: “he’s trying but it just isn’t working.”
A third commenter added to the discussion, saying: “He’s definitely no Pat, but then again, no one is.”

Do Wheel Of Fortune Execs Have A Contingency Plan In Place?

While a lot of people may not like Ryan Seacrest as the new Wheel Of Fortune host, it seems that the game show brass may also be preparing a backup plan, just in case things don’t work out with the new host for the long haul.

One of the points of contention between Ryan Seacrest and the game show is that Wheel Of Fortune execs want Ryan’s undivided attention. Even though they may be willing to pay top dollar for his services, as many people know, Seacrest is also the face of American Idol.

However, it seems there is a backup plan in place to plug Maggie Sajak into the hosting gig if things don’t work out longterm with Ryan, and, based on a lot of fan comments, it seems many viewers would prefer that.
