This fall in primetime on ABC, the 77-year-old Sajak will host Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. The shows are scheduled to start on Mondays in October when there’s not a conflict with an NFL game. ABC announced the host but not the “celebrity” players. According to a press release from ABC, this is the host’s “final spin” on the franchise.
Ryan Seacrest takes over hosting the syndicated Wheel of Fortune. Based on his social media, Ryan is already on the job and banked a few week’s worth of episodes. His debut is scheduled for September with the start of a new season.
Pat Sajak might hold the record for the shortest retirement of all time. https://t.co/JdrP2is8t1
