Ex-'Wheel of Fortune' Host Pat Sajak Remerges Alongside Daughter Maggie After Retiring From Popular Game Show: Watch

Pat Sajak is clearly enjoying life after stepping away from the spotlight.

In a fun TikTok clip shared by his daughter Maggie Sajak, the former Wheel of Fortune host jumped on the viral “Dracula” trend by Tame Impala and JENNIE.

The 79-year-old looked relaxed and happy as he strutted down a hallway, mouthing the lyrics, “Now I'm Mr. Charisma, f-----' Pablo Escobar.”

The camera then cut to Maggie, who was playing billiards while lip-syncing, “My friends are saying, ‘Shut up, Jennie, just get in the car.’”

She kept things playful in the caption, writing, "got him again. thank goodness he likes @Tame Impala."

Fans immediately flooded the comments section with love for the father-daughter duo.

“Please tell him to come back to Wheel,” one wrote.

Another added, “Retired Pat is my favorite! A fantastic duo!”

“Pat Sajak cursing was not on my bingo card,” a third quipped.

“Pats looking healthy and rested 🫶🏼☺️,” a fourth gushed.

“Pat Sajak as your dad is a flexxxx babe,” a fifth chimed in.

Pat first announced his departure from Wheel of Fortune in June 2023, with his final episode airing in June 2024 after an "incredible" 41 seasons.

"It's been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade," he shared in his farewell message. "And I've always felt that the privilege came with a responsibility to keep this daily half-hour a safe place for family fun. No social issues, no politics, nothing embarrassing, I hope. Just a game."

He continued reflecting on the show’s impact, adding, "But gradually it became more than that, a place where kids learn their letters, where people from other countries honed their English skills, where families came together, along with friends and neighbors and entire generations. What an honor to have played even a small part in all that. Thank you for allowing me into your lives."

Today, Maggie, 31, has carved out her own role on the show as its social media correspondent, while Ryan Seacrest has stepped in as the new host.

Still, stepping away hasn’t been entirely easy for Pat. According to an insider, he continues to feel the absence of the tight-knit community he spent decades with.

"Pat spent his whole career on Wheel of Fortune; he still has so many friends that are working on the show, people he has known for years," the source explained. "They are truly like family to him, so having his daughter working there now is a dream come true. He loves talking shop with her and keeping up on all the latest. It's not in a malicious way; he just wants to feel like he's still a part of the team."

They added, “He misses the camaraderie, he misses the star treatment, even the drive to the studio. Sure he can golf every day if he wants, but it doesn't fulfill him the way his job did."
