Host Vanna White
Unsurprisingly, some longtime viewers of the show felt that Vanna White, who has co-hosted with Sajak as a support for over 40 years, should have been the main host.

he is a good host
While many fans weren’t happy with the news, others thought Seacrest was a capable host and would do a great job hosting this iconic game show.
It’s honestly the perfect choice. He has Dick Clark-esque command and amiable, sly Sajak-esque humor. No one in the history of television has made the complex job of hosting look as easy as Ryan Seacrest. And Merv Griffin himself said he was going to be a big star. Consonant Pro!

One even called Seacrest a “legend”.
This guy is a legend in the hosting community
