It’s been nearly a year since Pat Sajak retired from Wheel Of Fortune. Plenty of fans miss him, but they’ve also come to love Ryan Seacrest. He certainly had some big shoes to fill following Pat’s nearly four-decade run on Wheel. Now, he’s enjoying his retirement and a quieter life. His longtime sidekick, Vanna White, shared what her former Wheel Of Fortune co-star is up to with the Holding Kourt podcast.

Vanna said on April 2, “I talk to Pat all the time. He’s doing great. He’s healthy, he’s happy. I just had dinner with him about a month ago. So I just want to let everyone out here know he’s doing good.”
“Wheel Of Fortune” Isn’t Just Pat Sajak’s Show
While many Wheel of Fortune fans loved Pat Sajak, they loved Vanna White just as much. When Pat decided to retire, she grappled with her own future.
She told Kourtney, “Am I going to stay? Do I go out with [Sajak] after 41 years together? It was going to be hard to work with somebody else, you know, after being so familiar with [Sajak].”
“It was just very hard for me to make that decision because I’m happy with my job. I still love my job,” she continued. “I decided to obviously stay on and I’m glad I did. There’s always contracts. There’s always controversy and all that stuff. But everything’s fine. I’m happy. We’re here.”
ABC recently announced that Pat Sajak and Vanna White would reunite one more time at the end of April for Pat’s Final Spin on Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune. Fans are looking forward to the new episodes with one sharing on Instagram,
“My mom and I will be watching this next month for Pat Sajak’s final spin on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.”
