Wheel of Fortune is currently airing its 42nd season, which kicked off in September 2024 and will run until June of this year. This marks Seacrest's first full season as the show's host, after taking over the job from Pat Sajak, who had been with Wheel since 1981 and retired at age 77 in June 2024.

Wheel of Fortune is hitting an incredible TV milestone, and fans can't hold back their excitement about it. The hit game show premiered its first episode on television back in January 1975, and new episodes have been airing consistently since.

Some Wheel of Fortune viewers are growing frustrated with the show’s fast-paced editing, which they claim doesn’t give them enough time to focus on the puzzles and play along at home. The complaint was first brought up by a user on the Wheel of Fortune Reddit forum, who created a thread titled “Switching away from the puzzle board.”
