Pat Sajak has officially retired from Wheel of Fortune. The show has been around since the Gerald Ford administration and when Harold Wilson was Prime Minister of England. Now Ryan Seacrest has taken over hosting duties. What do you guys think? I think it is a boring and safe choice, which I think was the point.

Why do they need anything but a boring and safe choice? Sajak barely does anything on the show as it is.

Vanna White is 66 ......basically the only part of that show worth watching is when she walks out at the start because she is aging like fine wine ......no one cares about the male host of that show ........I would have preferred Maggie Sajak who is Pat's daughter and also sexy - I celebrity crushed her once........I mean basically the show is Hangman so you have to make it sexy because Hangman is dull..........they should do it nude tbh......or strip Hangman........that would be good.......maybe Suicide Hangman although that may not pass the censors

Yes, Seacreast worn out about 20 years ago.
I agree with pacinoyes, keep it in the family. Have Maggie Sajak replace Pat - and have it double female host.
I honestly feel Sajak will leave a bigger void than Trebek would. Because I really don't feel Jeopardy is any different without him, although it's only fun to watch when it's the Masters Tournament.

I hope we get more of these..

Seacrest feels like the right call - no drama. There's nothing controversial about Seacrest, nor anything exciting. He's just a scoop of vanilla.

I agree that a vanilla option is fine for the hosting gig but idk, Ryan Seacrest just feels a little bit TOO vanilla. It’s just such a dull, uninspired choice

It’s just such a dull, uninspired choice Lets look at this way: Seacrest seems to be the go-to guy for replacing the old legend. We saw that with Dick Clark and then Regis Philbin. You can add Pat Sajak to that list. I think that's why it is seen as vanilla. Of course, they would pick Seacrest. He was such an obvious choice. I don't think the show needs "rocky road" or "black cherry" ice cream. They need somebody safe and somebody who doesn't distract the audience from the puzzles and the game show contestants.
Stephen made the point above: Sajak was boring too. Very vanilla. It worked for the last 40 or so years. I just look at the nonsense surrounding Jeopardy and how they struggled to find one host, and ended up picking one male and one female.

Yeah, shame that Maggie Sajak isn't doing it. She's hot and might have actually gotten me to watch the show more before my daily Jeopardy ritual...

He rather famously replaced Michael Strahan not Regis - that's typical white supremacy to pretend Strahan never existed when he was the FIRST PoC in that iconic shows history! Just kidding ......... Does anybody else think it's a little racist to call Seacrest "vanilla" though? How should we refer to Seacrest's dull, even more vanilla but also you know less vanilla equivalent - Steve Harvey? Hmmmmmmm As Pusha T put it regarding Drake:A Steve Harvey-suit ***** made him. Confused, always felt you weren't black enough. Afraid to grow it 'cause your 'fro wouldn't nap enough Savage

pacinoyes did not ask you to compare Steve Harvey to Ryan Seacrest ffs - JFC why don't you compare the 2 worst kinds of Flan next?  I asked about the institutional racism in the term vanilla..........institutional racism is very serious - VERY serious - I take it seriously ......... and I'm sad that you people don't. What do you mean by "you people" pacinoyes? Nothing - and I don't have to answer that anyway.......... since YOU'RE the racists - ammiright?  If you are going to make a joke out of every thread then you are no better than that horrible, horrible pacinoyes.......although that dude is pretty witty and stuff and his taste in bands.....chef's kiss  I mean just think if he wasn't here and this thread would be literally about Wheel of Fortune......shudder........ Side note: Ryan Seacrest has THIS on his resume so he at least ties Steve Harvey - and yeah maybe he just read what they wrote but still - benefit of the doubt.......just sayin ..... "On Dec. 31, 1959, Paul Westerberg entered the world in Minneapolis as the singer of this band. He'd comment on his birthday with the line 'Income tax deduction/One hell of a function."

Jeopardy has always been where it's at anyways. Wheel of Fortune is too slow and everyone figures out the word puzzles way faster than me. Trivia is more interactive
