The realm of TV trivia was shaken up significantly recently when longtime "Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak announced that he was retiring from the game show. It marks the end of an era, just a few years after the death of longtime "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek. Just over two weeks after Sajak’s retirement was revealed, "American Idol’s" Ryan Seacrest was named the new host. It was a very quick turnaround compared to how Jeopardy handled the task of finding a new host, and former champ James Holzhauer cracked a pretty great joke about it.

How well Ryan Seacrest will do as new host of "Wheel of Fortune" (particularly in light of the fact that Vanna White’s future is uncertain) remains to be seen, but there’s no denying that there was a lot less fuss in finding Pat Sajak’s successor compared to Jeopardy in the wake of Alex Trebek’s death. James Holzhauer, whose strategy turned him into a history-making champion of the show, didn’t let his "Jeopardy!" and "Jeopardy! Masters" success stop him from finding a funny side of the situation.
