Some fans think the odd turn of events could be the fault of the new host — with comments that “Ryan brought some bad mojo with him” and theories that “It’s the wheel retaliating against Ryan.” Despite Seacrest suffering his first big flub in recent days, others offered a possible explanation that, if true, is way more logical.

Originally set to premiere on October 14 as Pat Sajak's final season as host, 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' was unexpectedly pushed to air in 2025. Here's why.

Ryan Seacrest survived his first fumble as host of “Wheel of Fortune” with a little help from co-host Vanna White — and eagle-eyed fans took notice. The multi-hyphenate host of the long-running show kept a contestant in suspense by pausing too long after they solved a puzzle correctly.

Wheel of Fortune’s new era with host Ryan Seacrest is going A-Okay according to fans, but even he has noticed an unfortunate on-air pattern: instead of big paydays, everyone seems to be going bankrupt.

Ryan Seacrest has spun into some backlash from Wheel of Fortune fans for stepping in too early and before a bonus round was technically over. On Tuesday, October 14’s episode, Andy Schwartz, who earlier shouted out his “real and spectacular wife” (cheering from the sidelines) and his basement bar called “Mel’s Two Taps” made a late comeback to win the game.

Wheel Of Fortune fans slammed Ryan Seacrest for his presenting style after a 'mistake' saw him interrupt the play of a contestant.

How much does Ryan Seacrest actually make on 'Wheel of Fortune'? Some rumors suggest the host rakes in over double the salary of his predecessor, Pat Sajak.
