Alright, here's the scoop: Ryan Seacrest is stepping into some pretty big shoes—Pat Sajak's, to be exact—on 'Wheel of Fortune.' And sources tell Closer exclusively that the change has got Ryan feeling a little overwhelmed, so he's pulling out all the stops to keep his cool.
Seacrest's Big Move: Taking Over 'Wheel of Fortune'
Now, let's break it down. Ryan Seacrest, the man who seems to be everywhere at once, is taking on yet another hosting gig. This time, he's trading in the glitter of 'American Idol' for the iconic spinning wheel of 'Wheel of Fortune.' But let's be real, stepping into Pat Sajak's shoes isn't exactly a small task. Pat's been a household name for decades, and Ryan's got a lot to live up to.
According to an insider, "Ryan tends to bite off more than he can chew." At 49, he's already juggling a radio show, a cooking series in the works, and now this major television role. It's no wonder he's feeling the pressure. But hey, this isn't new for Ryan. He's always been driven to be the next Dick Clark, and now he's living that dream. Still, even superstars are human, and filling Pat Sajak's shoes? That's a challenge of epic proportions.

How Ryan's Prepping for the Big Job
So, how's Ryan handling all this pressure? Well, he's got a game plan, and it's a pretty solid one. Before the September taping of 'Wheel of Fortune,' Ryan's doing everything he can to stay on top of his game. He's making sure to get at least eight hours of sleep a night, which is a big deal for someone who's always on the go. And that's not all—he's also listening to audio books for anxiety because, let's face it, Ryan doesn't know how to clock out.
But wait, there's more. Ryan's got a whole toolkit of tricks to keep his nerves in check. A simple breath of fresh air and some sunshine can do wonders for his anxiety. And when he's feeling the heat, you can bet he's got a cozy, air-conditioned trailer at the studio where he can take a moment to unwind. It's like his own little sanctuary amidst the chaos.
Relaxation Techniques: Seacrest's Secret Weapons
Now, let's talk about Ryan's relaxation techniques. He's all about those calming herbal teas—chamomile and ginger are his go-to choices. And if that wasn't enough, he's diving into yoga and chanting mantras for a deeper sense of peace. Tibetan singing bowls? Yes, please. He loves his essential oils, aromatherapy diffusers, and even indulges in a good massage every now and then. Ryan's doing everything he can to keep his mind and body in top shape for this new adventure.
And let's not forget how Ryan's connecting with the 'Wheel of Fortune' fans. He's already posted a heartfelt tribute to Pat Sajak, along with a picture of the trio—himself, Pat, and cohost Vanna White. In the post, Ryan writes, "Pat, congratulations on an incredible run with 'Wheel of Fortune'! Your dedication, charm, and wit have made the show a beloved part of American television for decades. Your partnership with Vanna has been nothing short of iconic, and together, you’ve created countless wonderful memories for viewers. You’ve set the standard for hosts everywhere."
