Pat Sajak is gearing up for his final appearance as the host of Wheel of Fortune. This momentous episode is set for Friday, June 7.
The episode in question isn’t just any episode. It’s also the Season 41 finale of Wheel, which is being taped today.
Big news follows this farewell. Ryan Seacrest is confirmed to take the helm when the show returns. This will be for Season 42 in September, with Vanna White continuing her iconic role.
Sajak’s departure marks the end of an era. He announced his exit in June 2023, concluding a tenure that spanned over four decades.
“Well, the time has come,” Sajak remarked. He expressed gratitude and promised more reflections in the months to follow.
Since its nighttime debut in 1983, Sajak has been the face of the syndicated game show. His contributions have been recognized with three Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Game Show Host.
