Ryan Seacrest will take over as host of the syndicated game show “Wheel of Fortune.”  Ever since longtime master of ceremonies Pat Sajak announced he would retire at the end of the next season, there has been much speculation as to who would take the reigns.  Seacrest was mentioned early on.   Official word came yesterday from Sony Pictures naming him as host and consulting producer in a multi-year deal.
