Wheel of Fortune will quickly enter a brand new period as Pat Sajak prepares to retire from the long-running sport present subsequent 12 months. With Ryan Seacrest taking over the internet hosting duties, many have questioned what the long-time host can be as much as following the collection. Whereas it was beforehand reported that Sajak has a gig lined up post-Wheel of Fortune the place he’ll proceed to function chairman of the Board of Trustees at Hillsdale Faculty in Michigan, he reportedly might have a brand new present within the works too.
RadarOnline reported that Pat Sajak might be eyeing a return to TV, however to not host a sport present. As a substitute, it might be to share his political beliefs. Nothing is confirmed, however an insider informed the Nationwide Enquirer (through RadarOnline) that he’s allegedly considering a political speak present, saying:
Pat does not wish to run for workplace, however he has lots to say about what is going on on on the earth and for many years he has largely saved his conservative views to himself. And sure, if Vanna (White) needs to affix him, Pat will be certain there is a seat at his desk for her!
It is laborious to inform whether or not or not that is true, so followers ought to take this with a grain of salt till it’s both confirmed or denied by Pat Sajak himself. Nevertheless, contemplating he’s on the board of trustees at a conservative school, him allegedly engaged on a probably conservative present does not look like an extended shot. I might think about if he does return to TV, he’ll take a break first. 4 many years on the identical present is a number of work, and he deserves a break after he formally retires from Wheel. I assume that when he is completed his internet hosting duties on the sport present, we’ll find out about his plans for the longer term.
In the meantime, as Pat Sajak eyes a potential return to TV after Wheel of Fortune, the sport present has been staying within the headlines since his retirement announcement. Vanna White is in talks to remain on Wheel after he leaves, not less than for now. Nevertheless, she has been negotiating with producers a few new contract, and she or he and Sony are allegedly not on the identical web page about it, particularly relating to her wage. It seems like if Sajak goes via with this potential new conservative present, White may have a future on it too, which may imply one other shake-up on Wheel of Fortune.
Some followers have already got an concept of who they wish to substitute Vanna White if she finally ends up leaving the present. They’ve been voicing their ideas on who might be the following particular person to take over the job as letter-turner, and some suppose Pat Sajak’s daughter, Maggie Sajak, would make an excellent alternative. She already seems on the present sometimes, and a current Instagram put up had her shifting and looking out like White, which led to viewers declaring that she may substitute the long-time co-host if she decides to go away.
Whereas it’s unconfirmed what precisely Pat Sajak has deliberate after Wheel of Fortune TV-wise, it looks as if there might be tasks within the works. Nevertheless, that’s nonetheless a 12 months away, so there can be loads of time to ponder what his subsequent transfer might be. As they wait, Season 41 of the legendary sport present premieres on Friday, September 1 on NBC as a part of the 2023 TV schedule.
