With Ryan Seacrest firmly stepping into his role as the new Wheel Of Fortune host, Maggie Sajak recently revealed her true feelings when it comes to Ryan taking over for her dad, Pat Sajak. So, how does she really feel about Seacrest as the new host?
Wheel Of Fortune: Ryan Seacrest Officially Took Over New Gig
After months of speculation, theorizing, and bashing even before he took over, Ryan Seacrest officially stepped into his new role as the Wheel Of Fortune host.
Seacrest officially made his hosting debut on September 9. Now that it has been a few weeks since his hosting debut, viewers and others have had some time to fill out a mental report card in terms of how he is doing.
Seacrest Has Big Shoes To Fill
With Ryan Seacrest taking over for Pat Sajak after Sajak was the host of Wheel Of Fortune for decades, it isn’t a stretch to say that Ryan was thrown right to the wolves. Before he even had a chance to shoot his shot and try his hand at hosting, negative comments were already coming in.
Usually, when it comes to Ryan Seacrest and his gig hosting American Idol, he isn’t the one in the hot seat. However, his new gig with Wheel Of Fortune is a completely different story.
While some viewers were open-minded enough to give Seacrest a chance, many people were calling this a bad move even before the new host had a chance to prove himself. Even now, there’s an ongoing dialogue online between those who want Seacrest gone, and those who are willing to give him a chance.
Wheel Of Fortune: Maggie Sajak Reveals True Feelings On Ryan Seacrest As New Host
One person who recently shared her thoughts on how Ryan Seacrest is doing as the new Wheel Of Fortune host was none other than Pat Sajak’s daughter, Maggie Sajak. According to her, she called Seacrest “so professional,” adding that the show is in “great hands” for the future.
Maggie Sajak went on to add: “I’m sure you would assume, but he really appreciates the show and knows how important it is. You can really tell by how prepared he is and how he treats the contestants and how he treats the whole experience.”
Sharing her thoughts on Wheel Of Fortune as a whole, Maggie Sajak said: “It’s more than just a show, which sounds maybe kinda cheesy, but it really is. I mean, this is bonding among generations. This is the time that families eat dinner together. I mean, it’s really special.”
So, while Ryan Seacrest may not be winning over every viewer just yet, he certainly has Maggie Sajak in his corner, based on how he has carried himself so far.
