Ryan Seacrest is getting ready to take over “Wheel of Fortune,” from Pat Sajak. Seacrest probably feeling the pressure of hosting that big of a show, and a source talked with Radar Online and revealed the true feelings of Seacrest.
77-year-old Sajak is leaving the show, to the hands of 47-year-old Seacrest. Ryan is aware that he has some big shoes to fill, since he will be hosting a huge show. Despite his career on TV, a source shared that Ryan is ready for the pressure.
“Ryan tends to bite off more than he can chew.” the source shared. “He’s a bundle of nerves right now, but he wanted to be the next Dick Clark and that’s what he’s become. He’s only human, though — and filling Pat Sajak’s huge shoes on Wheel of Fortune is a challenge of epic proportions.”
Seacrest is familiar with hosting huge productions, as he is also hosting American Idol.
“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 continued.
“He has many other tricks up his sleeve he’s found to be highly beneficial. Just going outside for a breath of fresh air and sunshine helps him to chill when he’s feeling anxious, and you can bet he’ll have a cozy, air-conditioned trailer at the studio where he can retreat to unwind.”
Few weeks ago, Seacrest had shared his thoughts of Sajak, where he also praised Vanna White.
“Pat, congratulations on an incredible run with Wheel of Fortune! Your dedication, charm and wit have made the show a beloved part of American television for decades,” Seacrest posted.
“Your partnership with Vanna has been nothing short of iconic, and together, you’ve created countless wonderful memories for viewers. You’ve set the standard for hosts everywhere.”
