“Pat, I love the way you’ve always celebrated the contestants and made viewers at home feel at ease. I look forward to learning everything I can from you during this transition,” he added.

Seacrest shared that one of his first jobs was hosting a “little game show” called Click 25 years ago. The show was made by Merv Griffin, who also created Wheel of Fortune.

“This is truly a full-circle moment for me,” he concluded. “I can’t wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White.”
