Ryan Seacrest Debuts As New Host of Wheel Of Fortune Monday Night

The busiest man in showbiz takes a spin at the Wheel for the first time Monday night. Apparently, there's not only a new host but a new set as well. It airs here on Yes TV.

Even before the departure of Pat Sajak, Wheel is just something to do until Jeopardy! begins.

And yet in many U.S. markets, Jeopardy airs before Wheel.

He's alright, but Vanna should get first billing in the intro, in respect of her seniority and all.

Oh, hilarious but I don't live in many US markets.

The new set seems sparse and very...blue. Vanna's new letterboard reminds me of the style used mid-late '90s.

One of those markets is Watertown, NY which is available in a portion of Southern Ontario.

I like the new set too. I agree it does have that late 90's look to it. I wonder if the upcomming season of Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune will use the new set or the one from last season.

Re: Ryan Seacrest Debuts As New Host of Wheel Of Fortune Monday Night

Jeopardy airs before Wheel on WABC-TV in New York, the biggest market in the U.S. 

I'm really not sure how this started, but there seems to be an open debate about what show works better as the lead-in to the other. It's pretty unusual that so many stations in individual markets have flip-flopped the time. 

Only something as ridiculous as this could have sparked arguments on the Internet. But it has!

These kinds of non-controversies make me giddy. Using that map, I'd avoid the blue states!

I'm a "Wheel first, ask questions later" kind of person.

Through the "magic" of the internet,  I watch Jeopardy! On Channel 7, WABC just because it's on at 7.  Sometimes I may watch "Wheel".  I'm not a Seacrest fan, but he's not horrible,  or even bad as new host.
