The game show host, a mainstay of American television, has starred on the program since 1981. He said he will step down (https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/pat-sajak-wheel-of-fortune-retire-rcna88977) in 2024 (https://chicago.suntimes.com/movies-and-tv/2023/6/12/23758770/pat-sajak-retire-quit-leave-wheel-of-fortune-chicago).

Pat Sajak is gonna retire from Wheel Of Fortune next year? What a surprise because without Pat how will Wheel Of Fortune survive with a new host? Because Pat Sajak makes Wheel Of Fortune lots of fun and when they get a new host to replace Pat Sajak I think the ratings will go down and it will lose it's audience. I hope they replace Pat Sajak with a fun host because without a great host Wheel Of Fortune will lose it's fun

Ugh no! If Ryan Seacrest replaced Pat that would ruin Wheel of Fortune. I didn't mind Ryan as host of short lived The Million Second Quiz. But he is not right for Wheel at all, go away! I had assumed Maggie Sajak was being groomed to be her father's eventual replacement, although Vanna White still deserves to become host for a few years first.

Good grief, I was 12 that year, and I'm now 54. I'd say it's about time.

I did hear today that when Pat Sajak retires in 2024 Vanna White will take over as host but if she takes Pat's job they might have a male letter turner but they didn't say who they might choose as letter turner. I have been a fan of Wheel Of Fortune since I was a little girl and though it's sad to see Pat Sajak go next year I wish him the best of success

The new host should be LeVar Burton.

Wheel of Fortune's Pat Sajak isn’t very distinctive: He's the median host for America’s median game show. (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/13/arts/television/pat-sajak-wheel-of-fortune.html)

Stephen A. Smith wants to host Wheel of Fortune (https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2023/06/15/stephen-a-smith-wants-host-wheel-of-fortune-pat-sajak-retirement)

The new host should be LeVar Burton.

Will Vanna White stay at Wheel of Fortune or will her co-host role be eliminated? (https://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/articles/could_wheel_of_fortune_eliminate_vanna_whites_role_completely/s1_17197_38948707)

Back in the '90s, White (https://tasteofcountry.com/wheel-of-fortune-eliminating-vanna-white-report/)'s position (https://www.tvinsider.com/1097137/wheel-of-fortune-vanna-white-leaving/) was almost eliminated (https://tvline.com/news/vanna-white-leaving-wheel-of-fortune-pay-gap-pat-sajak-1235004436/) amid a dip in Wheel's popularity. White has been a fixture on the game show since 1982.
