Mark your calendars, Wheel watchers, because according to the 2024 TV schedule , September 9 is the day we will get to see Ryan Seacrest take over as the host of one of the greatest game shows of all time . With rumors circulating for the past couple of months about possible trouble on set between Seacrest and Vanna White, Wheel of Fortune gave us a first-hand look at what to expect from the new leading duo in a video from their recent photo shoot — which was adorably crashed by a scene-stealing dog. Ryan Seacrest has promised he won’t change anything about how the game is played as he becomes the first new host of Wheel of Fortune in over 40 years.

As for what we can expect .
