There has been some buzz that this long running game show is going to be replaced with a different show.

Yes, new contracts/extensions have been signed with the talent, but the costs are out of hand and it is not the popular mainstay it once was.

Plus, it could have a natural ending in a few months.

Wheel of Fortune

Pat Sajak, the longtime host of Wheel of Fortune, is set to retire after Season 41, with his departure causing mixed reactions among his co-workers:

  • Sources claim his colleagues are relieved by his impending exit and have no plans for a farewell party.
  • Pat reportedly feels overlooked after receiving minimal recognition for his 40th anniversary as host.
  • His replacement, Ryan Seacrest, complicates any potential send-off, as there is reportedly tension between Pat and Ryan.
  • Vanna White, Pat’s co-host, is said to be eager to transition to the new era of the show without any farewell festivities.
  • Pat has been hosting Wheel of Fortune since 1981, and the evening syndicated debut occurred in 1983, with Vanna joining him in 1982.
