Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak is reportedly disengaging from the show as he prepares to pass the torch to incoming host Ryan Seacrest.
Despite leading the TV game show since 1981, Sajak is described as mentally checked out, aiming for a quiet exit without grand farewells.
Sources suggest that Sajak’s involvement diminished after network resistance to his initial desire for input.
Though he’ll remain as the executive producer for the Seacrest-hosted show, it’s seen as a ceremonial title.
Rumors circulate about Sajak considering a conservative news show after leaving Wheel of Fortune, with a potential invitation for Vanna White to join.
