According to a Fox News report, Wheel of Fortune star host Pat Sajak may be stepping down after more than 40 years on air:
The game show host of more than 40 years said the “end is near,” as he hinted he’s ready for one last spin, according to “Entertainment Tonight.”
“Years go by fast. We’re getting near the end. It’s been a long [time]. We’re not going to do this for another 40 years. The end is near,” the TV icon indicated.
“It’s an honor to have been in people’s living rooms for that long. People were out there welcoming us. We’re happy and proud.”
“Wheel of Fortune” premiered on television in 1975, and Sajak started hosting it in 1981. Co-host Vanna White joined Sajak in 1982.
“In most television shows by this time, you would have said, ‘That’s probably enough,’ but this show will not die,” Sajak remarked.
