Retired Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak has shared a life update after three months of social media silence.
The legendary game show host, who departed Wheel of Fortune in June 2024 after 40 years at the helm, returned to X on Sunday (June 14) to provide fans with an update on how things have been going.
In a video, Sajak is seen wearing a striped shirt, cream pants, and sunglasses while standing in a palm-tree-filled garden with the ocean in the background. “Hi, I know many of you have been wondering and asking how I’ve been doing,” he says. “And I’m enjoying life!”
He jokes, “I’ve moved here to Montana, and everything is going just great. So, I just want to say hello, now, if you excuse me, I have some cattle to attend to.” A cow is then heard mooing in the background.
Sajak retired from Wheel after 41 seasons as host; Ryan Seacrest took over as replacement, co-hosting alongside long-time letter-turner Vanna White. He hosted his final season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune the following year.
