With their contracts soon to end, Sajak has hinted in the past that he might not continue as the show’s host forever. The 76-year-old said during an interview, “Years go by fast. We’re getting near the end. In most television shows by this time, you would have said, ‘That’s probably enough,’ But this show will not die. It appears I may go before the show. We’re not gonna do this for another 40 years.”

Fans Speculate Maggie Sajak Could Be The Next Host

Given how Pat and Vanna have been a staple for the show, it would be difficult for the show makers to find an ideal replacement for the duo whenever they retire. On Reddit, fans speculated who might replace the duo. Most fans came up with the conclusion that Pat’s daughter Maggie Sajak would take up the mantle after her father.

However, another critic remarked, “Nepotism at its best!”

  1. I hope to see Pat & Vana go. I’ve grown tired of them. I don’t watch much at all anymore. The show needs refreshed. NO, to Maggie Sajak. I would for sure never watch again.

  2. I enjoy the show.
    If Pat and Vanna retire, it will be sad; however as years go by it is eventually going to happen.

    As for Pat’s daughter taking over, I think this is wrong.
    Just because he is the host, doesn’t mean his daughter is automatically in.

    Last night on the show Pat said she is in Law School.
    So…….. what is going to happen?

    Maybe the viewers need to suggest and then vote.

  3. I am six years younger than Pat and I retired five years ago. Only in politics and entertainment do people stay too long. Time for Pat and Vanna to retire and step aside for the next host and cohost. If one of the replacements is Maggie, so what.

  4. I think Maggie would be a great fit to take over Pat’s job as host. Why do a lot of people have a problem with a female taking over a job that a male had? That is crazy!!!

    1. i for one would not watch someone who probably can’t find her way home with out a map in her hand – she makes my skin crawl when she comes on to spout social media garbage.

  5. If Pat and Vanna retire, Maggie should try out for the post with others and the show get a whole new update, too.

  6. Pat is 76! He’s getting a little grumpy and bored with it all! No wonder, he’s 76! Let it go Pat!
    And Vanna is sweet as ever but deals with Pat’s awkwardness in their short one liner conversations. Vanna probably would enjoy retiring her role on the Wheel. And the show could do without a replacement there.
    We know it won’t be the same after 40+ years of the two of them!
    Wishing them a happy retirement soon!

  7. I don’t hardly watch the show because of Pat. He was so arrogant sometimes he’s not even nice to the people on the show.
    I believe it’s time for them both to go and get some new people. I am not fond of his daughter at all.
