Watched Wherl of Fortune forever it seems. Should it be Vanna, Pats daughter Maggie or that other guy they mentioned Ryan Seacrest?

Hell, I thought the both of em retired years ago. Shows how much TV I watch, huh.

Who?

I was kind of surprised when they told Pat Sajak's age but I understand he's a Vietnam vet so I guess he's no spring chicken.
That dustup was a while ago.

 

[Old Noob]

He had a great run.
Anybody remember Chuck Woolery hosting Wheel of Fortune?

At his salary which will decrease only a little after leaving the show I can't understand why he hasn't left many years ago.
At what point do you make enough money to chuck it all and go live life without the constraints of a job?
75 million in net worth which includes his home and so on could all be liquidated and put into cash to live the most extravagant life imagined.
Why wait until your 76?
I will say he doesn't look that age.
Some info:

The 76-year-old has hosted the show since 1981 and has amassed a reported net worth of $75 million.

While Sajak makes $14 million a year from his hosting gig salary, the host earns more from licensing his image to "Wheel of Fortune" slot machines globally, Celebrity Net Worth reported.

Sajak earns at least $15 million a year from royalties, licensing fees and other payments related to licensing his image to around 20,000 "Wheel of Fortune" slot machines in casinos around the world since 1996, according to the site.

And Vanna is worth 10 mil more. Not as old and not as much plastic surgery?

 

[RETOKSQUID]

Probably likes what he does. After you have done something for so long, it becomes a part who you are. Makes it quite hard to leave behind.

....so what,...I give a shat.

...more important things in life them these folks worrying about their next million

 

[trbii]

From what I read about the taxes and cost of living in commiefornia, Pat and Vanna probably need that 75 mil.
