The longtime host of the beloved game show recently announced he was stepping away on social media. “Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last,” Sajak wrote. It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months.”
Sajak will continue working on the series as a consultant over the next three seasons, but intrigue abounds as Fortune fanatics ponder his possible successor. Online sportsbook Bovada has gambling odds posted on the next Wheel of Fortune host, with Ryan Seacrest the current frontrunner at +200 (2-1). While the former Live with Kelly and Ryan star is reportedly in talks to replace Sajak, Bovada’s odds (as of June 14 at 12:00 p.m. ET) offer an array of interesting options. Let’s take a look, shall we?

Some female “of color” to be named later.
He will be the new Vanna.
A tranny, or a minority(black). Michael obama?
Given the pecking order of Holywood, Matt Boomer would be my guess. Yeah a homosexual who looks macho and cleans up nice.
I’m pulling for Chuck Woolery.
Who is that?
Snoop Dogg.
I think Alex Jones would fit the nitch real well.
Whoopie Goldberg
Could be that if Vanna also retires then Maggie Sajak would be a natural replacement. Depending on how ‘woke’ things go, Pat will probably be replaced by a male POC.
‘Jeopardy’ ratings are down and I expect ‘WoF’ to take a hit also especially if they go ‘woke’.

She’s so big, nobody could see the letters.

Not Whoopie unless they want their ratings to drop off a cliff like Bud Light sales.
Well, you can be sure they’ll make a woke mess of WHEEL just like they did with JEOPARDY. Stopped watching the Jep after being a nightly viewer for decades. Guess it will be the same with the Wheel.
They need someone who is friendly, handsome, witty, and masculine. But all in a subdued way. Hmm…that describes me perfectly. So I guess I’d be the best replacement.
Sajak's appeal was that the show wasn't about him. Most of the listed hosts put themselves first as the "star" and the guests are props.
Vanna White could do it (and they don't need to replace her at the board), but she's close to retirement age, too.
They'd be better off looking for a fresh face, someone who's unknown or a local news talent.
