No another person Edd Bymes hosted two pilots in late 1974 and they were replaced by Chuck Woolery before the Wheel of Fortune debuted on January 6 1975 and continued to host until December 25 1981.

Woolery was ultimately picked to host, the choice being made by Griffin after he reportedly heard Byrnes reciting "A-E-I-O-U" to himself in an effort to remember the vowels.
