Big changes are coming to one of the most iconic game shows in American television history. Wheel of Fortune’s Pat Sajak has announced his retirement. He will step down from his role as host after the 2023-24 season. 

“Well, the time has come,” Sajak, 76, shared in a June 12 tweet. “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.”

“Thank you to the best host in the biz,” read a message from the show’s Twitter account….

Pat Sajak and Vanna White have been mainstays of Wheel of Fortune since the early ’80s, and soon Sajak’s daughter Maggie will have a more prominent role on the game show. While White runs a special edition of the show, Maggie is stepping up to fill in as co-host.

Maggie is one of two children shared by Sajak and his wife of over 30 years, Lesly Brown. 28-year-old Maggie also has an older brother, Patrick Michael James Sajak, who turned 32 last autumn. Typically, Maggie has had a behind-the-scenes role on Wheel of Fortune, and this opportunity marks her hosting debut.
