Description
Pat Sajak, the longtime host of the popular syndicated game show "Wheel of Fortune," announced Monday that the upcoming 41st season will be his last.
Sajak, 76, has presided over the game show, which features contestants guessing letters to try to fill out words and phrases to win money and prizes, since 1981. He took over duties from Chuck Woolery, who was the show's first host when it debuted in 1975.
Sajak has won three Daytime Emmy Awards for outstanding game show host, and received a lifetime achievement award in 2011 with "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek.
