Pat Sajak Isn't Saying Goodbye To 'Wheel Of Fortune' Just Yet
HuffPost
The recently-retired host is returning for a new season of a game show that's familiar to "Wheel" fans.
Pat Sajak hasn’t really walked away from the “Wheel of Fortune” world.
Sajak will be taking his “final spin” hosting “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” this fall after retiring as host of the syndicated version of the game show in June, according to an ABC press release.
The new season premieres Oct. 7 just as Ryan Seacrest, joined by Sajak’s longtime co-host Vanna White, is set to take the helm as host of “Wheel of Fortune” in September.
The “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” job adds to Sajak’s other post-retirement plans which include a stage production that he’s starring in next year.
The news arrives roughly one month after Sajak bid farewell to “Wheel of Fortune” as he declared it to be an “incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes, night after night, year after year, decade after decade.”
