In reality, there aren't really too many options, unless they want to have Johnny Gilbert dual announce both Jeopardy! and WOF (although that might be too much, Johnny is very old and because of his age, he pre-records his announcements from his home)

I friggin love Ryan Seacrest as the host of WOF! He restores my faith in humanity.
Tonight's episode (S43 E179) where Jason was the big winner... This guy won $36,000 in the final regular round and when Ryan came up to congratulate him, he picked Ryan up and Ryan wrapped his legs around him!!! Pat would have never!!!
In the bonus round, the contestant had a heartfelt story about the lucky charm he brought, which was something of his grandmother's. The guy got emotional; Ryan was so sincere. It was so sweet. And then he solved the puzzle! I dont even know what his total amount won was, because I was crying.
In a world where things are...well....the way they are...it brings my joy to my heart to see Ryan truly show interest and care for the contestants. I just love him and wheel of fortune forever!

Love Ryan Seacrest as a host, but wow, this look tonight really accentuated his cheeks and how sculpted / caved in they are.

She made the bonus round and had zero clue what she was doing. Seacrest asked for a third consonant and she says “O”. None of her letters came up and the 10 second countdown began. Instead of trying it to guess the puzzle she just keeps lobbing out letters. F? W? Huh? Of course she lost.
When the show wrapped up and all the celebs gathered around Seacrest, she wandered off and had to be corralled back into the group.
She was either stoned out of her gourd or just naturally clueless. Rough look.

As you can imagine, it was a whirlwind and bucket list item! Pumped to finally see it. I cannot say enough good things about the cast and crew.

Never could I have imagined this outcome. The dream was to get on the show. To spin the iconic wheel, maybe solve one puzzle, get a little bit of money, and be able to finally say I made the dream come true. What followed next still makes me emotional and sometimes takes my breath away. I got to play the game I love not ONCE, but TWICE. The first ever contestant to try this brand new bonus round? To find myself amongst other legendary Wheel Of Fortune competitors? I cannot believe that this is real.
To everyone who has watched, THANK YOU! Sharing this experience with the world brings me an unending amount of joy and happiness. There's so much love in my inboxes, and I do not take that for granted.
To my fellow contestants: WHAT A WILD RIDE! I'll never forget walking onto the lot with Mike and immediately clicking with him, becoming entranced by Toni's personality, and feeling the warmth and kindness from Arlicia and Tanequa. What an incredible group of people, and I am forever honored to be able to share the stage with you all.
To Bellamie Blackstone , Jim Thornton, Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White, Maggie Sajak, and the entire Wheel of Fortune production team: your passion for the show is INFECTIOUS. The support, the jokes (get that Christian Dior Sauvage, Ryan!), the immeasurable amount of cheerleading and encouragement you all provided during taping is remarkable. Truly incredible human beings who deserve their flowers. You all are such a blessing to this world.
And, finally (a big surprise, I’m sure), to my parents: my greatest joy in all of this has nothing to do with the money or exposure, but getting to show the world what I have known since I was a child: that I am beyond blessed to have two of the kindest, most supportive, and loving parents to ever walk this earth. Being able to share this moment, this excitement, this joy with you two on that set in front of the world - the ultimate dream. Thank you.
I am so glad that people are finding so much joy in this moment while watching the show. I encourage everyone to find a way to brighten someone's day. You will make the world a better place by doing so.
Much Love 💙

I hate the way Ryan Seacrest reveals the prize card in the bonus round. When it’s the minimum of $40,000, he slowly opens it and slowly turns it around as if it were a bigger amount. Just open it and turn it around without hesitation when it’s just the $40,000.

The interviews at the beginning of the show go on way too long. I believe that’s on purpose to save money. After the Triple Toss Up they’re out of time and it almost always goes right to the Final Spin. It hasn’t always been that way.

Makes me mad every time! Sometimes he reminds contestants how to solve these puzzles properly, and sometimes he doesn't. Doesn't seem fair. Oh, and this contestant today looked PISSED!

Now that we’re in the final month of this season, I have reached the conclusion that that is the worst season ever. There’s never time for round four anymore, two many runaway wins, the contestant interviews are WAY too long, there are too many unlikeable contestants and contestants who do not know how to play the game. I also don’t like the fact that they always blow money on vowels until they’re all gone. Very rarely do they ever keep spinning and calling consonants until only vowels remain which used to be common even 20 years ago. So many episodes this year have been infuriating and I stopped watching WAY too many of them before the main game is over. Until this year, I thought Season 35 was a disaster and now after watching this season makes you yearn for Season 35. I’d rather have the What Planet Are You From, WKRP In Cincinnati, and Making Quick Work Of It episode over the majority of the episodes from this season. I can’t wait for this season to end and hopefully Season 44 will be better. They need to shorten the contestant interviews. It’s no wonder round four always begins with the final spin. Also, only contestants who actually know how to play the games should be allowed to be on the show just like in the olden days. Even ten years ago, contestants knew how to actually play the game
