As an alternative of Maggie or White taking on Sajak’s put up, tv titan Ryan Seacrest was named as the following Wheel host. Seacrest scored a large $28 million per 12 months wage with the gig.
“I’m actually humbled to be moving into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak,” Seacrest wrote in a press release. “I can say, together with the remainder of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure pleasure to look at Pat and Vanna [White] on our tv screens for an unprecedented 40 years, making us smile each evening and really feel proper at house with them.”
“Pat, I like the way in which you’ve at all times celebrated the contestants and made viewers at house really feel comfortable. I look ahead to studying every part I can from you throughout this transition.”
