Description
An end of an era is brewing for "Wheel of Fortune" as long-time host Pat Sajak is bidding farewell to the popular game show after more than 40 years.
Sajak's swan song on the popular ABC show is coming up on Friday, June 7, according to the network itself. The episode will serve as the season 41 finale.
Sajak first announced he would be stepping down as "Wheel of Fortune" host in a post on X in June 2023. "Many thanks to you all," he wrote in the post.
The 77-year-old host has been a part of the show since 1981 after taking the reigns from former, and first host, Chuck Woolery.
During his run, Sajak won three Daytime Emmy Awards out of 19 nominations. He also received a lifetime achievement award in 2011 and the Guinness World Record for the longest career as a game show host for the same show in 2019.
Sajak has also shared his legacy with his daughter, Maggie, who serves as the "Wheel of Fortune" social correspondent.
