Ken Jennings Praises Ryan Seacrest's Role Transition on Wheel of Fortune

Drew Carey, the host of 'The Price Is Right,' recently reflected on the advice he received from the late Bob Barker regarding hosting, emphasizing the importance of making a show one's own. He refrained from offering any guidance to Ken Jennings and Ryan Seacrest, who have recently taken over as hosts of 'Jeopardy!' and 'Wheel of Fortune,' respectively. Jennings, who became the full-time host of 'Jeopardy!' in December 2023, expressed admiration for Seacrest's seamless transition into the role previously held by Pat Sajak. Both shows are filmed side-by-side at Sony Studios, allowing for a friendly camaraderie between the hosts. While Jennings noted the impressive speed and complexity of 'Wheel of Fortune's' production, he maintains a lighthearted attitude about competition in ratings. Seacrest, in his new role, has committed to preserving the traditional format of 'Wheel of Fortune' while focusing on maintaining the show's fun atmosphere.
