Ryan Seacrest, the dexterous Hollywood master of ceremonies, was named the next host of “Wheel of Fortune” on Tuesday, succeeding the longtime host Pat Sajak in 2024.
Pat Sajak @patsajak:
Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. (If nothing else, it’ll keep the clickbait sites busy!)
The Disney company's ABC Owned Television Stations have ponied up a big increase to keep the long-running game show on their schedule. "Wheel of Fortune" is renewed for 5 years through the 2027-2028 season. This will take the show through its 45th season. "Wheel of Fortune" is hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White and is the second most-watched same-day entertainment show on TV after only "60 Minutes".
