An era is coming to an end. Pat Sajak, the show’s host for the past 40 years, has announced his decision to hang up the mic and retire from the venerable game show. Sajak originally announced that he would be leaving broadcasting in 2021, so retirement is a long time for him.
“We’re closer to the end than the beginning,” he told Entertainment Tonight. Audience members would come up and say, “Oh, what’s the matter?” Before you ask, I want to go first.
The Daytime Emmy winner hinted once again that she’ll be leaving next year, telling the publication that she’s done with her duties and is ready to hand over the reins to someone else. “The years pass quickly.
The end is near,” he said. “It’s a great honor to be able to be in people’s living rooms for such a long time. People greeted us outside. “We are happy and proud,” he said.
Sadak is ready to say goodbye after riding the “Wheel of Fortune” for over 40 years.
Pat Sajak will retire from Wheel of Fortune after the 2023-2024 season. The popular host announced in a tweet that he will end his record-breaking reign as host of TV’s longest-running game show.
“Well now is a good time. “Our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last, I have decided,” he wrote. “I have more to say in the coming months. It was a beautiful trip. Thank you all very much.”
A supporter said: “An enduring symbol of good humor and fun in our home…thank you for 42 wonderful years.” “I’ve been following you most of my life!” My favorite show is @WheelofFortune!” Another said: “Thanks for a great time.”
“Wheel of Fortune” has been directed by Sajak since 1981. Although he is no longer the host, Sony Pictures Television announced that he will continue to work on the program as a behind-the-scenes consultant.
