‘Wheel of Fortune’: Ryan Seacrest Takes Swipe at Show When Pat Sajak Was Host

On Thursday, April 16, Ryan Seacrest revealed he was doing some 'Spring Cleaning' when he stumbled upon a box of vintage Wheel of Fortune merchandise during the episode.
Chuck Woolery hosted Wheel of Fortune from its 1975 inception until 1980, followed by Pat Sajak from 1981 until his retirement in 2024, when Seacrest took over hosting duties.
Vanna White helped identify items including a Wheel of Fortune lunchbox, a wedge labeled 'Bankrupt' and $10,000, and two license plates reading '1/2 car' from earlier seasons.
White joked, 'You guys were cheap back then, huh?' noting the $10,000 wedge was the top prize limit in earlier seasons, equivalent to today's One Million Dollar wedge.
Wheel of Fortune airs weekdays with episodes available to stream the following day on Hulu, allowing fans to see the show's evolution across hosting eras.
