Host Pat Sajak announced that he was retiring from the show after four decades in 2023, and wrapped up his final episode last month.

Ryan Seacrest fans can’t believe his new summer throwback snap When is Ryan Seacrest's first Wheel of Fortune episode - here's a big hint In a recent interview with RadarOnline , a source close to Seacrest dished about how the American Idol host has been coping with juggling his busy schedule, and attemptong to do Sajak justice. “Ryan tends to bite off more than he can chew. He’s a bundle of nerves right now, but he wanted to be the next Dick Clark and that’s what he’s become,” the insider spilled.

“He’s only human, though — and filling Pat Sajak’s huge shoes on Wheel of Fortune is a challenge of epic proportions," they added. However, Seacrest, 49, is handling the weight on his shoulders by living a healthy, balanced lifestyle. “He’s doing everything possible to cope with the inevitable nerves ahead of his hosting gig, and that includes getting at least eight hours of sleep a night and listening to audio books for anxiety because Ryan never knows how to clock off on his own,” the source explained.
