WHEEL of Fortune fans have speculated about the lack of fanfare ahead of host Pat Sajak's exit from the game show. The host's final episode is set to air on Friday, June 7. Ahead of Pat 's exit, there has been very little celebration or reflection.
The US game show host did sit down for an interview with his daughter, Maggie Sajak , where he looked back on his career. Otherwise, however, it's been business as usual on the Wheel of Fortune stage. Fans speculate that this is by design.
"I'm finding it interesting there's not more of a commotion about this being Pat Sajak's last week on Wheel of Fortune. There seems to be a general feeling of 'ok moving on,'" one fan tweeted. "For as long as he hosted you'd figure there would be more of a PR push.
" Some fans believe this is how Pat wanted it. "I assumed this was on his part," one supporter guessed. "He's never been one to do a ton of interview (he's obviously done some, but begrudgingly, I've always felt).
And since he's leaving/doesn't care anymore, he's willing to do an interview with Maggie, but that's probably it." Others felt there should be a little more excitement surrounding the change. "I am surprised there hasn't been more press.
Also surprised we haven't found out more about how Ryan Seacrest becoming the new host came about so quickly after Pat announced his retirement," another Wheel fan wrote on X . Whether he's talking about it or not, Pat appears to be looking forward to his retirement . An insider told The U.
