However, recent news has fans comparing Pat to former NFL star Tom Brady.

Pat Sajak Already Returning To Wheel Of Fortune

When Pat Sajak’s final episode aired, many Wheel of Fortune fans felt they had seen the last of the host. It was a sad day and fans prepared for Ryan Seacrest to replace Pat on the show. However, there was then news that Pat was returning to host one last season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

For many fans who don’t know the difference between Wheel of Fortune and Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, it made it seem like Pat Sajak was going back on his retirement. Of course, those are two completely different shows, albeit in the same franchise. But some fans don’t know the difference.

As a result, those fans are comparing Sajak to Tom Brady. When Brady announced his retirement from the NFL, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepared to move on without him. However, Brady retired for only a few months and returned to the NFL. Now that he is retired again, Brady said he still could come back if a team needed him later in the season.

Those fans see Pat Sajak coming to Celebrity Wheel of Fortune from retirement after only a few months. Here are some comments.

  • “Pat Sajak channels Tom Brady as a star who just cannot retire.”
  • “This is your daily reminder that Pat Sajak hasn’t really retired from hosting Wheel Of Fortune yet”
  • “Pat Sajak? But I thought you quit Wheel of Fortune!”

This stint on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune gives Pat one final season on that show, the same as he had on Wheel of Fortune.
