I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last,” wrote Sajak on X (formerly Twitter). “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!)”It was later confirmed that Ryan Seacrest would be taking over for Sajak while White remained at her iconic letter board. “I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak,” Seacrest, 48, said in a statement. “I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years, making us smile every night and feel right at home with them.”“Pat, I love the way you’ve always celebrated the contestants and made viewers at home feel at ease,” he added.
