It’s time to give the wheel a final spin. Pat Sajak is signing off as host of Wheel of Fortune after more than 40 years on the show.
Sajak’s last episode airs on Friday, June 7. The TV icon announced his decision to retire last year. Now that the time has come to say goodbye, he’s reflecting on his legacy.
“It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes, night after night, year after year, decade after decade,” he said in a farewell video (via Deadline). “And I always felt that the privilege came with the responsibility to keep this daily half-hour a safe place for family fun. No social issues. No politics. Nothing embarrassing, I hope. Just a game. But gradually it became more than that … Thank you for allowing me into your lives.”

Pat Sajak Retiring From ‘Wheel of Fortune’: Look Back At His Best Game Show Moments With Vanna White

Pat Sajak is saying goodbye to “Wheel of Fortune”. On Monday, the 76-year-old game show host revealed that he’s stepping away from the series after more than 40 years.
While the move may be a shock to fans, it’s not exactly a surprise. When Et spoke with Sajak last September, the host admitted that retirement was a topic that had been on his mind a lot in recent years.
“In most television shows by this time, you would have said, ‘That’s probably enough,’ but this show will not die,” he said of the game show, which premiered in 1975. “It appears I may go before the show.”
“Years go by fast. We’re getting near the end. It’s been a long [time]. We’re not gonna do this for another 40 years. The end is near,” Sajak said. “It’s an honour to have been in people’s living rooms for that long.
