Pat Sajak announces retirement from 'Wheel of Fortune'

Pat Sajak is about to take his final spin. The longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host, who has been at the helm of the game show institution since 1981, will step away from the production aft…

Pat Sajak Was the Center of the Wheel
America’s easy parasocial relationship with Sajak is part of what made his late-career turn to being a conservative columnist and social-media opinionator so jarring. It wasn’t just his posing with the far-right Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene or his climate-change denialism — he once tweeted that “global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends.” It was the discordant idea that Pat Sajak had impassioned feelings about anything.

'Wheel of Fortune' host Pat Sajak announces his retirement: 'It's been a wonderful ride'
Suzanne Prete, the executive vice president of game shows for Sony Pictures Television, offered a statement: "As the host of Wheel of Fortune, Pat has entertained millions of viewers across America for 40 amazing years. We are incredibly grateful and proud to have had Pat as our host for all these years and we look forward to celebrating his outstanding career throughout the upcoming season. Pat has agreed to continue as a consultant on the show for three years following his last year hosting, so we're thrilled to have him remaining close to the Wheel of Fortune family."

Let's speculate on who could take the Wheel Of Fortune from Pat Sajak
Ellen DeGeneres’ reputation might have taken a hit, but Pat Sajack is a climate change denier who posed for pics with Marjorie Taylor Greene, so you don’t necessarily need to have a sterling reputation with all sides of the political spectrum to succeed in that time slot. Plus, there are few people in this world who have the level of experience of regular daily television that DeGeneres does. She’s got a comedy background and has bantered with both celebrities and normals on her show. She also has game show experience, on top of the many mini-games that were part of her talk show. And now that her daytime show is done, she’s got nothing but time. This one feels like it would be a pretty seamless transition of power. [Mary Kate Carr]

Ryan Seacrest Is The Rumored Frontrunner To Replace Pat Sajak
It wasn’t Pat retiring that felt jarring; forty years is a long time to do anything. I also don’t have any particular attachment to the host. My wife and I often watch the one-two punch of Jeopardy and Wheel Of Fortune, and I tend to tune out for the latter. It doesn’t help that most of the show involves Pat being an absolute prick to Vanna White. No, what slapped me in the face like I landed on bankrupt, was the announcement of the frontrunner for Sajak’s position: None other than young upstart Ryan Seacrest.
