Pat Sajak is about to take his final spin. The longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host, who has been at the helm of the game show institution since 1981, will step away from the production after the end of his upcoming 41st season.
Sajak made the announcement on Monday afternoon.
“Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last,” Sajak wrote. “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!)”
While Sajak will no longer be the face of “Wheel of Fortune,” he will continue a partnership with the program as a consultant, according to producer Sony Pictures Television.

Then, you’ll be happy to know they’re bringing back The Office with a female, Felicity Ward, in the ‘Michael Scott’ role. s/
I’d watch it if they brought back Angela. She was my favorite character. I found her stand-offish beauty to be very alluring. But what she saw in Dwight, I’ll never know.
Farewell Pat
These are “news” stories made up using a few posts on twitter of supposed fan outrage. One story not long ago they made up a story about fan outrage over a final puzzle because a handful of people hadn’t heard of the commonly used phrase “Joining the fray” and they made a news story out of that - a handful of clueless people unaware of a commonly used phrase posting on social media and therefore they made a news story “Wheel of Fortune fans outraged over unfair final puzzle.”
It’s ridiculous.
Mayim Bialik is an experienced actress. She’s even a degreed Neuroscientist. I respect her intellect, but my goodness, doesn’t she have a face for radio?
This may be one reason she hasn’t locked in the Jeopardy host spot quite yet.
Yep. (Using the RSTLNE that they give you in the bonus round.)
I remember when Pat was the weather man in Nashville.
Someone that looks as gorgeous as Rachel Riley who does ‘Countdown’ in England should be the replacement.

She is not a lesbian. You are talking about the gal from Blossom? She’s a nerosergion major with a PHD. Two children. Not gay!!!!!
I have noticed for the last couple of years there seems to be more and more male contestants who proudly proclaim their “husbands”. Is the producer gay perhaps? Maybe Pat just got tired of not seeming to notice.
Goooooooooodnight Pat Sajak...
