Hit gameshow Wheel of Fortune fans are calling out Ryan Seacrest as they pick apart his ‘on-screen’ habits and compare him to former host Pat Sajak.
Seacrest took over the huge roll after Sajak announced his retirement last year, leaving a 40-year legacy behind him.
Following Sajak’s big shoes, it’s inevitable for fans to pick Seacrest apart.
Most recently, fans are noticing his ‘awkward’ habits, with one saying: “Ryan tends to wear sport jackets with open collar shirts. Perhaps it’s due to their generation gap of 27 years.”
“Or the show’s producers saw it as part of the modernization of WOF. But thankfully the nixed the idea of replacing Vanna with an animatronic,” they finished.

The Reddit posts had fans in a frenzy as they agreed with the disppointed fan.
“Is it just me or does Ryan laugh and chuckle too much? Feels slapstick when not awkward,” another fan noted.
A third wrote: “Can’t do it. Unless Seacrest turns the volume down, I’m exhausted and need a drink to watch. Is this the producers new ‘spin?’”

“I think Ryan is still just in that “prove yourself” part of the job like we all get with any new job. It takes a while before you can let your guard down, relax, be yourself,” another wrote in defense of Seacrest.
A fourth wrote: “The contestants are so wild and crazy now! Annoying,” as they claimed the audience was the issue.
“According to my mother every time somebody lost the 100,000$ it looks like he’s laughing at them. Like he’s so happy to point out that they didn’t win all that money,” a final fan theorized.
