Pat Sajak bid farewell to game show fans during the finale of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, which aired on June 10. Though he officially retired from the iconic syndicated show last season, his closing remarks left viewers pondering whether this was truly his last appearance. As Sajak and Vanna White walked on stage for a final time, Sajak hinted at future possibilities, teasing a project titled “Sajak Senior Secret Agent,” where he claimed he would perform his own stunts.
The episode featured celebrities Renée Elise Goldsberry, Bernadette Peters, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson competing for charitable donations in a spirited showdown. Goldsberry kicked off the game by solving the first puzzle—”I Am Not Throwing Away My Shot”—after Ferguson made an incorrect guess, and soon accumulated a lead with $20,450 following her second correct answer.
As the competition progressed, Ferguson managed to fill his bank with winnings from a triple toss-up, while both Goldsberry and Peters excelled, leading to a nail-biting contest. Goldsberry eventually triumphed with her $45,450 total, while Peters earned $6,000 and Ferguson concluded with $5,000.
In the Bonus Round, Goldsberry selected “Phrase” for her puzzle, correctly identifying “Good Vibes Only” and adding $75,000 to her game, bringing her grand total to $120,450. Peters and Ferguson fought fiercely in the second game, with Ferguson ultimately solving the final puzzle for a total of $59,300 and Peters adding $30,000 for her charity.
Ferguson’s attempt at an additional prize during the Bonus Round fell short when he could not decipher “The Happy Dance,” but the overall atmosphere remained celebratory, with Sajak thanking everyone and promising, “See you next season” as the iconic host left the stage.
For fans who wish to enjoy the season, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, Season 5, is now streaming on Hulu. Pat Sajak’s journey on the show has brought joy and entertainment to millions over the years, making his potential return a hopeful prospect for an audience eager to see more of the beloved game show host.
