With Ryan Seacrest's Wheel Of Fortune debut next month i'm curious to know when the premiere date for Ryan Seacrest's Wheel Of Fortune debut season will be? Also what other surprises and changes will the upcoming season of Wheel Of Fortune have?

New season with Ryan hosting begins Monday, September 9. Which likely means Pat's final syndicated episode will air once more on Friday, September 6.

With Seacrest taking over the syndicated game show from longtime host Pat Sajak, Wheel of Fortune "has a revamped set, which includes new lighting, additional space and a lot of gold metal laminate," says John Koblin, who toured the revamped set. "The puzzle board got an update not long ago, too: Now all Vanna White has to do is move her fingers near a lit up panel, and a letter will appear. Touching a panel — let alone turning it — is no longer necessary." As White explains: "It was time for a change" Seacrest, says Koblin, "has already brought a new energy to the set. He can break into a salsa dance. He moves easily around the stage. And he does not require index cards — one of Mr. Sajak’s hallmarks — when he introduces each new contestant." Tony Vinciquerra, the chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment, says in picking Seacrest, "we want to have the continuity of the host, someone who is well known, and who will travel with the show through that transition. I can't think of a better person to do that with than Ryan.”
