For Pat Sajak, the big wheel is about to stop. The longtime host of “Wheel Of Fortune” has announced that, after over 40 years, he’s stepping down in 2024.

“Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last,” wrote Sajak. “It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all.” Sajak joined the game show with co-host Vanna White in 1981.

There has been no word as of this writing on who will replace Sajak- or if Vanna will stay too- but one exec shared plans for Sajak’s departure. “We look forward to celebrating (Pat’s) outstanding career throughout the upcoming season,” said the executive vice president of game shows for Sony Pictures Television, Suzanne Prete.
