Ryan Seacrest officially took over as host of 'Wheel of Fortune' on September 9, 2024, following Pat Sajak's retirement.
Seacrest's debut week received mixed reactions, with some fans criticizing changes to the set and his hosting style.
A contestant's mistake during Seacrest's second night led to fan backlash, blaming Seacrest for not adequately explaining the rules.
