Ryan Seacrest is in his game show era.
The TV host, 49, shared behind-the-scenes photos from the set of “Wheel of Fortune” with his co-host Vanna White on Saturday.
In the first photo, Seacrest and White, 67, smiled at each other as they sat on a couch in front of a “Wheel of Fortune” box with the letters RSTLNE, which are given to contestants in puzzle rounds on the show.
The second photo showed the inside of the box which was a mini version of the show.
Seacrest held the lid of the box which read, “Ryan Seacrest to Launch New Era.”
The “American Idol” host wore a grey suit and tie and White wore a sparkly teal dress.
“We’re so excited for this New Era of Wheel! #RSTLNE,” the caption of the post read.
Seacrest was announced as the new host of “Wheel of Fortune” in June 2023 after Pat Sajak, 77, confirmed his retirement from the show.
“I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years, making us smile every night and feel right at home with them,” Seacrest said in a statement.
Viewers got their first look at Seacrest on the set in April when a 10-second clip aired, showing him walking near where the contestants stand, looking around in awe and saying, “Wow!”
Last month, Seacrest documented his first day at his new job in behind-the-scenes videos, where he spun the iconic wheel and visited the Hall of Fame area in the studio.
“My heart’s pounding I’m so excited,” Seacrest told producers on-set.
After Seacrest was announced as the new host, there were rumors that he and White aren’t seeing eye to eye.
“She just doesn’t jibe with Ryan like she did with Pat, and no one really ever expected her to,” a source claimed about White to the Daily Mail. “There is just no way that she possibly could.”
However, an insider close to Seacrest told The Post, “There is absolutely no truth to this story. Ryan and Vanna have started working together and have been having a lovely time on set.”
White later brushed off the feud allegations by sharing a photo of her and Seacrest out to dinner together in July.
“Friends on and off camera,” she wrote in her caption.
Season 42 of “Wheel of Fortune” premieres in September.
