Ryan Seacrest finally made his Wheel of Fortune debut on Monday night, joined by show legend Vanna White as he walked onto the show stage.

Seacrest replaces longtime show host Pat Sajak, who retired from the program earlier this year.

While it's a bit surreal to see Seacrest hosting the show instead of Sajak, the veteran television personality did just fine in his first Wheel of Fortune episode.

We're sure he'll settle even more into the job as time goes on as he keeps the wheel spinning for game show contestants on weeknights across the globe.
