It’s the end of an era. Pat Sajak is leaving Wheel of Fortune.
The talk show host says the long-running game show’s next season will be his last as host. He said on social media today (Monday), “Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all.”
Sajak is 76 and has been hosting the show for four decades. There’s no word on whether Vanna White, who’s 66, will continue after his departure.
Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. 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!)
