Pat Sajak scores first Emmy in 26 years for final season hosting game show Wheel Of Fortune
As a die-hard fan who has grown up with Pat Sajak as my trusted guide through the Wheel of Fortune, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions upon hearing about his well-deserved win at the Creative Arts Emmys. It’s been a long time coming, and it’s heartwarming to see him finally receive this recognition after 26 years!
Pat Sajak won Outstanding Host for a Game Show at the Creative Arts Emmys on Saturday.
As a seasoned lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! After a 26-year hiatus, the charismatic 77-year-old figure from Wheel of Fortune has graced us with another award win. The last time this honor was bestowed upon them was back in 1998.
Starting in 1981, Sajak has been the host of a cherished show, and he’s planned to step down in June 2024. From September 9 onwards, Ryan Seacrest will be taking over the hosting duties.
He was not in attendance to accept the award — which he won over Family Feud’s Steve Harvey, Jeopardy’s Ken Jennings, Password’s Keke Palmer, and Weakest Link’s Jane Lynch.
Pat has received a total of 23 nominations for the Daytime Emmys and was awarded the title of Outstanding Game Show Host in 1993, 1997, and 1998.
It comes after Sajak received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2011 Daytime Emmy Awards.
In 2023, the award category was changed from the Daytime Emmys to the Primetime Emmys, and it was Palmer who received the accolade during that period.
On June 7, Pat took to X to acknowledge the end of his more than 40-year run on the show.
He simply wrote, ‘Thank you all so very much,’ to his nearly 370,000 followers.
As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that although Pat Sajak is hanging up his vests from Wheel of Fortune, he’s gearing up for one last hurrah with the celebrity version on ABC this autumn!
In June 2023 Pat announced he was leaving after the 41st season of the show was finished.
At the given moment, he made clear that the beginning of our 41st season, set for September, would mark the end of his tenure, as he had already made up his mind about it.
He expressed that it has been a delightful journey so far, and there will be more to share with everyone in the upcoming months. He also extended his gratitude to everyone.
Pat became the host of Wheel of Fortune on December 28, 1981.
Chuck Woolery hosted the show from its debut in 1975 up until his departure due to a disagreement about his salary.
For a while, the well-known personality’s job also reached his daughter Maggie Sajak, who serves as the show’s social media representative.
The classic game show Wheel of Fortune, which has been entertaining viewers for a long time, was originally developed by Merv Griffin. It holds the distinction of being the longest-running syndicated program on American television.
