Ryan Seacrest is just a tad excited about his new job as host of Wheel of Fortune.

Seacrest shared some behind-the-scenes snippets from his very first day of being on set—running, skipping, leaping for joy, and, of course, spinning the wheel.

He spun the wheel a lot, and who can blame him! At one point in the video, posted on Seacrests's Instagram, he spun the wheel and leaned in close to listen better.

He said:

"Listen to the wheel, it's iconic. I find it soothing."

Seacrest will be taking over for longtime host Pat Sajak, who Seacrest honored in a tweet back in 2023 when he was chosen for the show.

Folks were super excited for Seacrest to get started.

Trump Really Wants Us To Know He's 'Not Weird'—And He's Getting Very Weird About It

Former President Donald Trump doesn't like being called "weird" and he was quick to complain about that during a town hall in La Crosse, Wisconsin—though he couldn't manage to do it without being weird in the process.

Vice President Kamala Harris's running mate Tim Walz is responsible for a new angle of attack against Republicans, referring to them as "weird people on the other side" while referencing their nationwide assaults on public education and reproductive rights, saying they "want to take books away" and "want to be in your exam room."
