Sajak made his hosting debut on “Wheel” in 1981 and took his final spin in June. He co-hosted the show alongside Vanna White since 1982, with the pair also serving as hosts for the “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” spinoff.

Vanna White is saying nice things about Ryan Seacrest but she’s still incredibly close with former Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, who’s been meeting her for lunches and coaching her to hang on tight and stick it out for her own best interests.

Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak has settled into retirement after he officially signed off from hosting duties in June.

The famous TV duo were spotted on a cozy lunch date Tuesday, September 3 at California Pizza Kitchen in Encino, Calif. The local was convenient for the former “Wheel of Fortune” host, 77, as he lives nearby with his wife, Lesly Brown. The TV personality and the former model have been married for 35 years.

Pat Sajak has won his fourth Emmy award. The 77-year-old ended his Wheel of Fortune hosting tenure with another trophy to add to his collection. As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Pat was nominated in the Outstanding Host for a Game Show – 2024 category and went up against some stiff competition.

An insider claimed Sajak, 77, did not have much input in who would replace him, because he 'deliberately stayed out of that process'.

The wheel keeps spinning. Legendary talk show host Pat Sajak, 77, exited “Wheel of Fortune” after a run that lasted over four decades — and now, Ryan Seacrest has taken over, kicking off his own run hosting the show and failing to mention his predecessor’s name.
