‘Wheel of Fortune’ Host Pat Sajak To Retire After 41st Season​

Pat Sajak is just about done watching the wheel spin: The longtime Wheel of Fortune host announced that he is retiring from the syndicated game show next season.

“Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last,” Sajak said in a statement obtained by Deadline. “It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. If nothing else, it’ll keep the clickbait sites busy!”

Sajak and longtime colleague Vanna White signed contract extensions in 2021 that take them through next season. He has hosted Wheel of Fortune since 1981 and has won three Emmys for his work, not counting the 2011 Lifetime Achievement Award he received from the TV Academy. He originally was recruited by creator Merv Griffin to take over for the outgoing Chuck Woolery, having already hosted two unscripted game pilots called Press Your Luck and Puzzlers.

There was a time when Sajak did double duty at the wheel; in the ’80s he hosted a daytime version on NBC and a syndicated version in the evening. When the show hit its 36th in 2018, Sajak became the longest-running host of any game show, surpassing The Price Is Right‘s Bob Barker.

Last year, Sajak was asked during an interview for Entertainment Tonight about when he’d like to leave the show that made him a star. “I’d like to leave before people tune in, look at me and say, ‘Ooh, what happened to him?'”

“I wouldn’t bet on seeing us in 10 years,” he said of himself and White.

“As the host of Wheel of Fortune, Pat has entertained millions of viewers across America for 40 amazing years,” said Suzanne Prete, EVP Game Shows at Sony Pictures Television. “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.”

Pat Sajak's Wheel Of Fortune Replacement Already Found? It's An Awful Choice​

Whoopi Goldberg says she would love to be the new host of Wheel of Fortune. The revelation comes after long-serving host Pat Sajak announced his plans to retire from the show after more than 40 years. The hosting gig came up during a panel segment on The View when Ken Jennings, known for his role as the host of Jeopardy!, was asked about his reaction to Sajak's news.

When The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Jennings who he thinks should take over, Whoopi Goldberg interjected with a resounding, "I want that job. I think it would be lots of fun." Joy Behar fueled the playful banter by suggesting that she and Sara Haines could take turns emulating Vanna White's role by gracefully walking back and forth and pointing to the letters.

According to Deadline, Whoopi Goldberg is no stranger to the realm of game shows. The actress previously served as a producer on the 1998 revival of Hollywood Squares, where she became the renowned center square. While nothing has been confirmed, Goldberg's experience and charisma make her a compelling candidate for the role of Wheel of Fortune's host.

Pat Sajak formally announced his retirement as the beloved host of Wheel of Fortune on June 12. His tenure on the game show will officially end after the completion of season 41. Expressing his gratitude for the incredible journey, Sajak hinted at forthcoming announcements, expecting the anticipated news to keep clickbait sites busy.

Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg recently made headlines after discovering that her favorite video game, Diablo IV, was no longer supported by the Apple macOS. The Sister Act actress took to Instagram to publicly request that developer Blizzard Entertainment port the new hack-and-slash game to her preferred gaming system.

While acknowledging that there are more significant matters in the world, the Oscar-winner expressed her desire to indulge in a little "kvetching" about her beloved game series. Whoopi Goldberg noted that she had purchased Diablo IV under the mistaken assumption that it would be compatible with Apple computers, similar to previous installments in the franchise.

"This is what I'm asking you, Blizzard Entertainment," Whoopi Goldberg said. "This is Whoopi. You know how much I love Diablo. I would like y'all to let those of us who use our Apples to play. Allow us to play on the Apple. Take Diablo IV and let us do it and have a great time." The highly anticipated game made its debut on June 5, following several open beta periods in March.

Diablo IV was released for Windows, along with the latest and previous-generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles. However, Blizzard Entertainment has yet to announce availability for macOS. Despite Whoopi Goldberg's pleas, the official stance on the game's compatibility with Apple devices remains undisclosed, leaving fans of the franchise using Mac computers eagerly awaiting any updates.

On-screen, Whoopi Goldberg is set to appear in Inappropriate Behavior. Billed as a comedy-drama, the film is directed by Tony Goldwyn from a script by Tony Spiridakis. The story follows Max Brandel, who destroys his marriage and successful career to become a stand-up comedian. The movie stars Bobby Cannavale as Max Brandel alongside Robert De Niro as Stan.

Rose Byrne appears as Jenna, with William Fitzgerald as Ezra. Vera Farmiga, Rainn Wilson, and Whoopi Goldberg will also be featured. However, their roles remain undisclosed. Filming began in Westwood, New Jersey, and Jersey City in September 2022. No release has been announced yet.

And there was that moment in recent years where it looked like he had a stroke on air (believe it was during one of the American Idol tapings earlier in the pandemic when things were filmed remotely).

His work schedule has always been hectic, and that was his brain and body telling him something. Slow down!

Lol. You didn't strike me as the type to know who the fuck Ryan Seacrest is.

I just know him from the first season of that america talent show that everybody used to watch decades ago,

I just remember him interviewing folks, and he just seemed like an arrogant angry lil bitch, he wasnt funny or talented, and I just remember saying to myself how did this muthafucka get that job...

and he was on other shit like some entertaiment tonight like show... and I was like there goes mr no personality again...

an insider told me that most folks you see a lot in the media, either bring in lots of viewers, or they

get in by somebody PAYING for them to be there... he definitely has somebody paying for him to be there..
