Many fans of Wheel of Fortune are curious about the well-being of Pat Sajak, with some even questioning if he’s still alive. At 78 years old, Sajak, a renowned figure for “America’s Game,” was replaced as the main host by Ryan Seacrest in 2024. The fifth season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, which was hosted by Pat Sajak, premiered in December before Christmas but faced significant delays. However, luckily, co-host Vanna White has shared some insights about Sajak’s health and his life during semi-retirement.
How is Pat Sajak doing now?
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m personally feeling fine and thriving, as Vanna White shared during our frequent chats.
In a podcast on April 1st, White stated that she frequently talks to Sajak and recently dined with him approximately a month prior. This implies that the host appears to be in good health currently.
In November 2019, Sajak experienced an emergency surgery due to a clogged intestine. After the procedure, he shared with Good Morning America that he had been taking a walk with his daughter, Maggie Sajak, when a severe pain struck him suddenly. Subsequently, doctors rushed him into surgery within hours, with him lying on the bed in a fetal position during the preparation. Although they were still uncertain about the cause of the blockage, the surgery proved to be successful. During his recovery period, White took over hosting duties for the show.
Fans of Wheel of Fortune can look forward to seeing Pat Sajak as the host of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune when the fifth season resumes on April 30, 2025 at 8 PM ET. The episodes for the entire season were recorded in 2024, but the broadcast schedule has been somewhat unpredictable.
The term “Final Spin” has been applied to this episode by ABC, implying that Sajak’s tenure as the show’s host may be drawing to a close, although the network hasn’t confirmed any successor yet for the prime-time edition of Wheel of Fortune. There are rumors about Ryan Seacrest potentially stepping into the role, but there have reportedly been problems with the host in recent times, which might affect this decision.
