Pat Sajak to Retire as ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Host
- Thread starter M4CAT
- Start date
Just shut the show down. Nobody else would feel right.
Thank you, Mr. Sajak. Wheel of Fortune's an American icon. My grandparents watched it pretty much every night from its start to their ends, and I've got a lot of great memories of enjoying it (and Jeopardy!) with them. My grandpa would yell at game show contestants like they could hear him, and my grandmother would always chastise him for it. Great memories. XD
With the way technology's progressing, before long, we might have a computer-generated Pat Sajak, Vanna White, Alex Trebek, Bob Barker, and so on that are indistinguishable from the real deals, from their appearances and voices to their interactions with the contestants. One day.

OMFG! Seriously, I can't take this any longer. Pretty soon, we'll watch little more than the Dating Game. Sad.
Adios, Pat.
Adios, Pat.

Was reading earlier today that The Wheel tapes just 4 days (6 episodes a day) each month. And Pat makes $14 million a year. $14 million for 48 days’ work. Not bad.
Even crazier is that The Wheel is not his biggest source of income. He makes more than that annually by licensing his image on slot machines in casinos all over the world. He’s raking in some real nice cash.

I must say, it's tragic. Goodnight sweet prince...
Reports are Pat made about 15 mil per year and Vanna made about 3 mil. She is a decade younger than Pat. My grandfather in the 90s watched the show every night. He usually said, “We gotta watch Vanna.” Reports are Vanna wants a raise.
I'd say they will not renew her contract (it's up in 2024) and have 2 new people working the show. She got that job to be eye candy and she's a little to old for that type of role now. Unless they promote her to the host but then they probably would hire a dude to turn letters. Don't think that will work. Ryan Seacrest is a frontrunner supposedly. I hope to God it isn't Whoopi Goldberg who has lobbied for the job.
I always thought Vanna was just fine and assumed she could suck the chrome off a tailpipe to get that gig
I like Wheel but damn, I would record every night if his daughter was on there. Just being honest guys.
I feel like he tries too hard and is trying to work his comedic schtick into the show - bob barker was so good everything he did was natural and smooth

Well, there’s another TV show I’ll stop watching. He’s horrible! Dude already ruined New year’s Rockin Eve when he took that gig.
Show needs to be put out to pasture with or without salty sajak. At *best* needs to be put on daytime television. Just a terrible show.
I recently watched Price w/Carey for the first time... it was awful... and I like Drew Carey as a comedian.
Pat's a die hard conservative. Probably tough to be happy in Cali with all the liberal bullshite.
Yup I think in maybe the 80s/90s maybe they had a wheel of fortune daytime version with a different host than pat
I remember Chick Woolery hosting. Back when they did the gift gallery at the end
Did you know that Chuck is originally from Ashland?
