Pat Sajak is stepping down as the host of Wheel of Fortune after more than four decades. “Well, the time has come,” Sajak said in a statement to Bloomberg News yesterday. “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.” Sajak has hosted the syndicated game show since its nighttime debut in 1983. He also hosted the daytime edition from 1981 to 1989. Prior to Sajak, Wheel was hosted by Chuck Woolery since the show’s premiere in 1975. A replacement for Sajak wasn’t included in the announcement, though plenty of Wheel fans have already taken to social media to campaign for Vanna White.
