Wheel of Fortune will certainly look different without Sajak as its host. As this fan wrote, it's the end of an era.
prevnextSo Sad
I don't even watch Wheel of Fortune and I'm so sad that #PatSajak is leaving the show because it's a piece of my childhood.
So many great memories of my Nana and Great Nana watching it on tvs in two different rooms in the same house and yelling back and forth to each other 😂💚 pic.twitter.com/9B92WhLYXE

Wheel of Fortune is a program that one can watch with the whole family. So, it makes these changes all the more difficult to navigate.
prevnextRespect
Pat Sajak like Alex Trebek, will go down as one of the great game show hosts. I always enjoyed his humor and the way he ran Wheel of Fortune.

Many are reflecting on Sajak's legacy upon hearing about his retirement. He definitely made a name for himself on the show over the course of four decades.

Jeopardy has never been the same without Alex Trebek.
Wheel of Fortune's gonna be just fine without Pat Sajak.

Fans can't help but compare Sajak's legacy to the late Alex Trebek, who hosted Jeopardy up until his death. Not all of the takes have been positive.

I wish Pat Sajak wasn't a Trump supporter, so I could feel something about him leaving Wheel of Fortune

When the news of Sajak's retirement emerged, many brought up the host's political leanings. Due to those views, some viewers aren't exactly sad to see him go.

The TV landscape simply won't be the same with these legends not in the mix. Fans are surely emotional about it.
