Pat Sajak says hosting ‘Wheel of Fortune’ has been ‘awfully gratifying’ ahead of final episode

Before his final episode this week, Pat Sajak sat down with a familiar face, his daughter, Maggie Sajak, in an interview covering his 41 seasons and more than 8,000 episodes as the man behind “Wheel of Fortune.”

Sajak’s daughter joined the “Wheel of Fortune” team as the show’s social correspondent in 2021.

In an exclusive clip of the interview shared with “Good Morning America,” Pat Sajak said he was at peace with the conclusion of his run on the show, and that he is “enjoying” the final week. He announced in June 2023 that the show’s 41st season would be his last.

“This was announced a long time ago, almost a year ago. So I’ve had time to sort of get used to it. And it’s been a little bit wistful and all that, but I’m enjoying it and taking it all in and reflecting on the great run,” Pat…

Ryan Seacrest’s career has kept him busy for more than two decades, but he isn’t planning on slowing down any time soon.

Ryan first achieved superstardom in 2002 when he accepted a co-hosting gig on American Idol before becoming the show’s sole host the following year.

Since then, he’s added several other hosting duties to his resume, including New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, E! News, Live With Kelly and Ryan, and most recently, his upcoming job as the new Wheel of Fortune host.

Vanna White may take over Pat Sajak’s hosting gig after all if the rumors about Ryan Seacrest’s spelling capabilities are true.

That’s because, apparently, the future Wheel of Fortune host isn’t a good speller.

Following Season 41 of Wheel of Fortune, Ryan will be filling Pat’s shoes as the new host of the popular weeknight game show, and being a good speller is kind of important, given the nature of Ryan’s upcoming role.

Anyone who has ever watched Wheel of Fortune knows that it involves one basic principle: how to spell.

So, when Vanna recently received a warning that her future co-host wasn’t the best at…
