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?

Actually both of them leaving together would be awesome. She’ll be 67 at the end of next season (may 2024). Perfect time for her to retire and enjoy life.
Another good one was "A Group Of Pill Pushers" for "A Group Of Well Wishers". Hearing *that* one,Pat paused for a second or two and then cried "this is Wheel of Fortune,Bill!"
I was surprised when Drew Carey got the “Price is Right”.
Maybe they could get Craig Ferguson to do “Wheel”! Probably too old though.
I was sure that I’d never watch after Trebek died, but I actually like Ken Jennings, very smart, doesn’t flub lines. Mayim Bialik , like Jennings, is a legitimate genius with just a touch of humor.
Let’s wait and see who they come ups with for Wheel.
Both of these shows are International hits, with different hosts who speak language of the country they’re aired in,
Jeopard and Wheel are so interesting, adjusting to new hosts isn’t all that hard for me.
Steve is fun and smart but already has a good gig. I don’t think he’s a good fit, too extroverted for Wheel.
Two great ideas, right next to each other.
Ben is good but maybe not quite yuteful enough.
Chris would be excellent but hoo boy... Most certainly un-woke for today’s sensibilities. I’d actually like to see him get the job after the way he handled the problem with whatshisname.
Bring back Chuck Woolrey
Replace Vanna White or the host with someone that looks as gorgeous as Rachel Riley who does ‘Countdown’ in England.
Below is a 2nd show she does related to it. Look for more on the right side.
