If anyone has what it takes to replace Pat Sajak, it’s Ryan Seacrest.
Just ask longtime Wheel of Fortune letter-turner Vanna White.
“He’s doing an incredible job,” White exclusively told E! News in a joint interview with her new co-worker. “It’s not easy. He makes it look easy.” (Watch E! News tonight, Sept. 4, at 11 p.m. to hear more scoop from White and Seacrest.)
And White had full confidence in the American Idol host from the second he signed on earlier this year.
“Pat decided to retire after 41 years and god bless him,” she added. “He was happy and they said Ryan’s gonna be the next one and I said, ‘Great.’ Because he’s so talented, he’s so professional, he’s so good at what he does. I’m so thankful.”
For Seacrest, who began filming the long running game show just a few weeks ago, it was a no-brainer when he was offered the hosting gig.
“If Wheel of Fortune is offered to you,” he told E!, “you just don’t say no. You’ll have bad karma for the rest of your TV life.”
