Ryan Seacrest’s appearance on Wheel of Fortune has left some fans spinning.
“What is up with Ryan’s face?” one viewer bluntly named a Reddit thread, noting that the host’s “cheeks look unnaturally pronounced” lately.
“Bad cheek implants? May be just the camera angles?” the poster suggested.
Other fans weighed in, guessing everything from too much makeup or a sunburn to “fresh Botox” and fillers for the American Idol host, 50.
“Nothing moves above his nostrils,” one commenter pointed out.
“It didn’t even look like Ryan when I saw him a few weeks ago on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. Very concerning,” wrote one, while another added, “hope he’s OK!”
“I figured he was tired because he has 18 full time jobs, it seems,” added another of the radio DJ and reality TV producer.
“Whatever it is, it’s aging him,” concluded one fan.

This isn’t the first time fans have criticized Seacrest. In early October, Reddit commenters slammed his overly chatty hosting style, noting that his contestant introductions are “too long” and “it distracts from the game.”
The fans pointed out that the beloved game show’s former longtime host Pat Sajak — who retired after 43 years in 2024 — kept his commentary smooth and succinct.
“Pat made a lot of gaffes towards the end of his tenure,” wrote one, “but he knew when to cut it.”
