Ryan Seacrest takes a spin as new host of "Wheel of Fortune"
CBSN
Just a heads-up, America: When you turn on your TV this week, something is going to be different. After 40-plus years, "Wheel of Fortune" has a new host, who is himself sort of an institution in America, the guy who seems to host everything these days: Ryan Seacrest.
Just listen to a list of his current jobs: "I'll start with the beginning of the year, New Year's Eve, the ball drops, that starts the year; 'American Top 40'; 'On Air with Ryan Seacrest,' in the mornings on KIIS-FM, and then syndicated across the country; 'American Idol'; and 'Wheel of Fortune.' And then some specials here and there."
"Wheel of Fortune" (distributed by CBS) is the latest (and possibly the most high-profile) job for Seacrest, who grew up in tiny Dunwoody, Ga., where, even as a kid, he kept very busy. "Believe it or not, I played high school football," he said. "I played strong safety. I was stronger, but not that strong. I didn't play a lot, but I practiced a lot. I practiced so much but played less in the games."
In 2022, Kylie Jenner gave birth to her second baby, a son named Wolf — and then famously changed his name to Aire. Jenner revealed that she felt pressured to sign the birth certificate and chose the name in haste, instantly regretting it. And it turns out some degree of regret over a baby name occurs in nearly 1 in 10 moms, according to a survey from BabyCenter.
