Pat Sajak Leaves 'Wheel of Fortune' After 40 Years

Pat Sajak took his final spin as host of "Wheel of Fortune." Sajak has hosted the popular game show for over 40 years. Before Sajak started hosting "Wheel of Fortune," he was a popular weatherman in Los Angeles. He is renowned for his comforting demeanor and quick wit. By his side all of these years was the glorious Vanna White. She was moved to tears paying tribute to her TV partner. Now, after 41 years and 8,000 episodes, Sajak is ready to retire.

That was always on when my Nanny was making dinner and Pa was coming in the door from work. Gave me a sense of security to hear it on in the background.

The end of an American Game Show Era.

First Trebek from Jeopardy and now Sajak from Wheel of Fortune.

Almost saddens me because most of the younger generation have no idea how iconic these game shows were in America for so many years. Thank you for the memories

Thank you Pat for making our memories enjoyable! I hope you enjoy a happy retirement.

I’ve seen wheel of fortune since childhood and it’s unfortunate to see an iconic game show going away.

Man, the memories. I have this one from when I was in 4th grade, where the teacher would play episodes of Wheel of Fortune on our little CRTV while we ate lunch in the classroom.

Vanna White looks as though she has aged a few months in 40 years...

Pat is in the legendary league with Alex Trebek and Bob Barker. Cultural icons. Vanna is simply in a league of her own. Enjoy your retirement, guys, you've certainly earned it.

Wheel of Fortune just won’t be the same without him!

Pat Sajak will be missed on the Wheel of Fortune. I used to watch this show every day when I was a kid at 7:30pm on ABC7 after Jeparardy.

It's not going to be the same without him. He was the face of Wheel of Fortune. 😢
