“KTen Television is proudly celebrating 70 years on the air,” a voiceover said.
The screen then changed to Ryan, 49, and Vanna, 67, standing on the set of Wheel.
“From everyone here at Wheel of Fortune, happy anniversary KTen,” Vanna said.
Ryan didn’t say anything, but they both stood in front of a blue background with the show’s name on it.
When Pat Sajak co-hosted with Vanna, the background used to be brown instead of blue.
The font is still the same and the “O” in Of is still in the shape of a wheel.
The new season of Wheel of Fortune is set to air in September.
WHEEL FUN
Ryan gave fans a behind-the-scenes look last month when he filmed promo for the upcoming season.
On Instagram, the American Idol host was put to work by Vanna.
Ryan was doing pushups on stage and jokingly pulled an SUV by a rope as Vanna watched.

The car was seemingly a prize for an upcoming winner.
Vanna then shouted directions at Ryan through a megaphone as she sat in a golf cart.
Ryan lunged outside the studio as she rode next to him.
The co-hosts ate meatballs together for lunch.
Wheel of Fortune Host Timeline
Although Pat and Vanna have been a staple on the game show for decades, there have been other hosts
Chuck Woolery was the host from 1975 to 1981
He co-hosted alongside Susan Stafford (1975 to 1982)
Vanna White then stepped in as hostess in 1982 and has been ever since
After a contract and salary dispute, the show got rid of Chuck and brought in Pat in 1982
Pat hosted with Susan for one season

For five months, NFL player Rolf Benirschke took his place
In July 1989, Bob Goen hosted the show on CBS
He hosted for a year and a half until the show was canceled in 1991
The show was then moved to ABC with Pat and Vanna hosting for the foreseeable future
In 2023, Pat announced his retirement and Ryan Seacrest as quickly named as his replacement
And then, they watched confetti fall to the ground and hugged each other as the clip ended.
IN WITH THE NEW
Aside from a brand new set, Wheel of Fortune is getting a new host for Season 42.
Pat, 77, announced his retirement at the end of Season 40 and told fans he was staying on for one more season.
“Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last,” he tweeted after the Season 40 finale.
“It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all.”
After Season 41 ended, Ryan was announced as the new host.
“I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years.”
