In his final weekend as Wheel Of Fortune host before Ryan Seacrest takes over in the Sept. 9 season premiere, Pat Sajak won for Outstanding Host For A Game Show at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards Saturday.

It was Sajak’s first win in the category since 1998. Sajak was not on hand to accept the award for his final season of Wheel Of Fortune which he is leaving after four decades.

He previously won the Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host in 1993, 1997, and 1998 and was nominated for the award, which moved from the Daytime to Primetime Emmys last year, a total of 23 times.

Sajak also received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2011 Daytime Emmy Awards.
