Whoopi Goldberg has thrown her hat into the ring for the new host of Wheel of Fortune following Pat Sajak\u2018s upcoming retirement.<\/p>\n
Sajak made the announcement on Monday, June 12, revealing that he\u2019ll be retiring at the end of the upcoming 41st season. This means the search for a new host is on, with names like Ryan Seacrest and Maggie Sajak (Pat\u2019s daughter) already floating around as potential successors.<\/p>\n
Goldberg made her intentions clear on Tuesday\u2019s (June 13) episode of The View, when Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings joined the panel to share his thoughts on the Wheel of Fortune situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnother legendary game show host, Pat Sajak, just announced that he\u2019s going to be retiring from Wheel of Fortune at the end of next season. What\u2019s your reaction to the news, and any ideas on who should replace him?\u201d Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Jennings.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, Pat\u2019s a legend. Over 40 years and the price of a vowel has not gone up one penny. No one controls inflation like Pat Sajak,\u201d the Jeopardy! G.O.A.T. joked.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s an interesting question,\u201d he continued. \u201cJeopardy had its own succession crisis. Hopefully, Wheel has got an envelope somewhere that says, \u2018What to do when Pat packs it in.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
