Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest Shake Up Wheel of Fortune With Casting Change

A major change came to Wheel of Fortune this week. Hosts Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White want to shake things up, so they shared a casting announcement on social media.

Breaking Tradition

America’s Game Show has undergone many changes in such a short amount of time. Seacrest took over for longtime host Pat Sajak. The show underwent several changes, including a new puzzle board and graphics. WoF watchers also noticed that the show changed the contestant introductions.

According to The U.S. Sun, the hosts took to the show’s official Instagram account to share an announcement. They want to break tradition with casting. You might’ve already noticed this week’s episodes look a little different. There’s a good reason why. “It’s a friendly wheel rivalry all this week as we introduce something new,” Seacrest shared.

“For the first time, our groups of contestants know each other. They’re all-wheel fans who watch the show together,” White explained. “And tonight, not only are they playing for cash and prizes, but also for the ultimate victory: bragging rights.”

The caption reads: “We’re spicing things up this week with a brand new way of playing wheel!” The change kicked off on Monday, May 12, with a group of friends who work as firefighters. But what do fans think of this change? The outspoken viewers haven’t liked most of the changes that have taken place since September 2024.

WoF Fans Sound Off

Fans on Reddit shared their thoughts on this casting change. So far, the comments have been mixed. One Redditor admitted they loved this shakeup. The fan wrote, “I really enjoyed the dynamic of them all being friends, and while I know it shouldn’t be the norm, I’d love to see it more often. I have never seen it before…”

However, another user was turned off by this concept. The Redditor commented, “Not a fan of this concept and making the million dollar wedge a group prize is stupid, especially since all 3 have to not land on bankrupt.” A third fan had a suggestion for this change. They noted, “If they’re going to make the million-dollar wedge a group prize that can be lost if any of the three hit a bankrupt for the rest of the game, then the payout should be a million dollars each if it’s won!”
