Pat Sajak’s final episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune’ air date revealed

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Pat Sajak’s final episode of “Wheel of Fortune” has an official air date, ending his four-decade run as the show’s host.

Sajak’s final episode is scheduled to air on June 7, according to Deadline. Multiple other outlets have also confirmed the date.

He announced last year that he would be stepping away from the show after its 41st season.

Sajak, who took over hosting duties in 1981, was joined a year later by Vanna White. The two have been mainstays in American living rooms ever since.

Before hosting “Wheel of Fortune,” Sajak joined Los Angeles’ KNBC as a weatherman in 1977. Four years later he was tapped by the game show’s creator, Merv Griffin, to take over hosting duties.
