Ariana Madix has been taking inspiration from Taylor Swift’s “Vigilante S—t” following her breakup from Tom Sandoval — and is dressing for revenge.

@Chicago_History, joking about his own history on the gameshow. The account had tweeted out a question asking, “If someone from 1981 suddenly woke up in 2023, what would surprise them the most?”“That Pat Sajak was still hosting Wheel of Fortune,” he facetiously wrote in response.The Post reached out to Sajak’s representatives for comment. Fortunately for some — and unfortunately for others — Sajak’s time on “Wheel of Fortune” will soon be coming to a close, which means he might not be able to joke about his gig for too much longer.That Pat Sajak was still hosting Wheel of Fortune.In June, Sajak announced that he would be retiring from the series after season 41, which is anticipated to air in September.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic In my earliest years, the evening didn’t end until Vanna White said good night. I was in one of the parts of America where “Wheel of Fortune” comes on after “Jeopardy!” (the only proper order — a roughage-filled meal, then dessert). And I’d insist on staying up past the last ad break to hear the chat between White and “Wheel” host Pat Sajak for 45 seconds or so, wrapping on a sincere-sounding sendoff that gave me the all-clear to trundle up the stairs. Why did I have to wait for the last moments with Vanna? Well, part of it was a child’s literalism: she hadn’t said good night, so it wasn’t yet that time. But part, too, was an attempt to wring out every last moment of White’s particular charm from “Wheel’s” half-hour. White — perhaps even more than Sajak, a consummate emcee of the old school — seemed to represent in one person what “Wheel” was all about. A model for an endless array of spectacular gowns and an ornament on a show whose gameplay didn’t strictly require a letter-turner as technology improved, she represented all the glamour and luxurious promise of cash prizes, free vacations and the gilded sunlight of California. And yet presenting in complete earnest, from her glee or sorrow for a contestant who won the game or who bought the wrong vowel to her utter commitment to trading pleasantries with Sajak, she was a fabulous contradiction — a quintessentially middle-American celebrity.

Vanna White‘s supposed disappointment just keeps on turning. The 66-year-old “Wheel of Fortune” letter-tumbler reportedly feels like the producers have a “lack of respect” for her.A source told the Daily Mail that the game show bosses also think she’s “replaceable.”The news comes just weeks after host Pat Sajak announced his retirement after over 40 years.Ryan Seacrest was quickly announced as the replacement for Sajak, 76, which apparently led to some skepticism on White’s part.The insider alleged that she feels “disappointed” because the show’s heads “didn’t give her more of a chance to take over Pat’s job, or that she wasn’t able to give her two cents on the replacement.”White seemed to be blindsided by Seacrest’s host announcement.However, she still “respects” the “American Idol” alum, 48, and is “happy to work with him.”“But it just shows a lack of respect in her eyes that they have for her,” the source claimed.

Pat Sajak is honoring the past as "Wheel of Fortune" looks ahead to the future. On Thursday, Sajak honored the game show's creator, Merv Griffin, on what would have been his 98th birthday.The message comes shortly after "Wheel of Fortune" named Ryan Seacrest as the new host, starting September 2024. "Merv Griffin, the creator of ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ was born on this date in 1925," Sajak began on Twitter.

In the early days of her career, Heather Locklear was the platonic ideal of a blonde bombshell, idolized by fans real and fictional.

wheel-y grateful for his time on “Wheel of Fortune” — even though Ryan Seacrest is taking his place soon.On Thursday, Sajak, 76, paid tribute to Merv Griffin, the creator of “Wheel of Fortune,” on what would have been his birthday, and thanked the presenter for taking a chance on him all those years ago.“Merv Griffin, the creator of ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ was born on this date in 1925,” Sajak wrote on Twitter.“I owe the man so much,” the message continued. “He absolutely defied network executives by insisting on hiring an unknown local TV weatherman to take over his show in 1981.

This is bound to get everyone’s blood boiling!!!

Ryan Seacrest was named his successor.A clip of the “Wheel of Fortune” host, 76, clapping along to the soft rock group at the Blue Note jazz club in Honolulu was obtained by TMZ. Sajak donned a bright blue and purple button-down as he sat in the front row with his daughter, Maggie, who is a social correspondent for “Wheel.”The ’80s band played for a small, but exuberant crowd, though Sajak was spotted looking a little bored by the end of the night.

took to Twitter on Tuesday to comment on Seacrest being named the new “Wheel of Fortune” host — and mock the long, winding road “Jeopardy!” went on to find a replacement for the late Alex Trebek.(Trebek died in late 2020 after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer.)“Wheel of Fortune went about this all wrong,” Holzhauer tweeted sarcastically. “First you subject the contestants and viewers to an endless parade of temps who don’t prepare before hosting Then the producer in charge of the search says ‘Actually, *I* would be the perfect host’ Then ‘jk we have two hosts now.'”Jeopardy interim guest hosts included Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper, LeVar Burton, Aaron Rodgers, Dr.

replacing the game show host at the conclusion of “Wheel of Fortune’s” 41st season. “I’m looking forward to my final season starting this fall, and then handing over the car keys to Ryan Seacrest in September of 2024,” he tweeted Wednesday.Sajak, who served as the syndicated show’s host since 1981, announced his retirement earlier this month. “Well, the time has come.

Naman Ramachandran Graham Norton will host the U.K. reboot of “Wheel of Fortune” on broadcast channel ITV1 and streamer ITVX. The game show, based on the U.S. format, is being produced by Whisper North, part of the Sony Pictures Television-backed Whisper Group. “Wheel of Fortune” was broadcast for 14 seasons between 1988-2001 on ITV. Returning for an 8 x 60′ run, which includes two celebrity specials, the game show will again be centred around a giant carnival wheel as the contestants spin to win for a cash prize. The turn of the wheel secures a cash value before they pick a letter to help them solve the puzzle. For every correct letter they reveal in the puzzle they win multiples of that amount. They could lose everything at a spin of a wheel which contains ‘bankrupts’ and ‘lose a turn’ and the contestants’ entire winnings could be wiped out. In addition to cash, contestants can also win some prizes which are added to their cash pot to help them reach the bonus round.

man of many jobs — too many jobs, according to some trolls on social media.The 48-year-old accomplished TV personality is adding “Wheel of Fortune” to his impressive resume, as he announced Tuesday that he will replace longtime host Pat Sajak, 76, when he retires next year. Seacrest holds several coveted jobs in Hollywood as the host of “American Idol”and his syndicated KIIS-FM radio show “On Air with Ryan Seacrest,” and Dick Clark’s replacement on ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.”Seacrest recently ended his six-year run as Kelly Ripa’s counterpart on “Live with Kelly and Ryan,” apparently freeing up some time in his schedule to take on one of television’s most beloved game shows.The “Wheel” gig reportedly comes with a $28 million salary too, which would make Seacrest the highest-paid talent on TV. While one of Seacrest’s Instagram fans argued he is the “perfect replacement” for Sajak, fans over on Twitter voiced different opinions.

“Wheel of Fortune” has found its new host!

Ryan Seacrest is adding another title to his jam-packed resume: the host of Wheel of Fortune!

Puck News reported Thursday.She allegedly wants a Pat Sajak-sized paycheck, too, as the longtime host is set to retire at the end of the upcoming Season 41. Puck claims that White, 66, makes $3 million per season — and has for 18 years, receiving bonuses not raises during that time.She appears to have hired Bryan Freedman, who represented embattled short-lived “Jeopardy!” host Mike Richards, with Puck reporting Freedman is “hitting the pay discrepancy issue hard with Sony, as well as possible gender discrimination with respect to White’s salary.”In 2016, Forbes reported that Sajak, 76, earned $15 million a year from the show.

When Pat Sajak announced his retirement from hosting "Wheel of Fortune," it marked the end of an era. "Well, the time has come," he wrote in a post that was shared across all the "Wheel of Fortune" social media accounts. "I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last." He added, "It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months.

Ryan Seacrest surprised Live viewers by returning to the show two months after his exit, but fans shouldn’t expect a permanent stay.

Wheel of Fortune is about to enter a new era, as host Pat Sajak is retiring from the long-running game show following its upcoming season. While it’s still unknown who will be taking over, and if Vanna White could be following in his footsteps, the beloved host is already thinking about his life post-Wheel. Though the retirement party won't be celebrated for another year, he already has another gig lined up after his time on the series comes to an end.
