Sajak was the longest-running host of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, having hosted 41 seasons of the show that lasted from 1981 to 2024. He had retired in June this year, although thought to return to host for the celebrity edition.
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune pitted Dionne Warwick, 83, Chance the Rapper, 31, and Lil Jon, 53, against each other to win money for their charities. The best part for many fans, however, was that Pat Sajak was back hosting it.
Numerous clips and statements hit social media to celebrate the event and hint toward it before it happened. Sajak himself hit X to say, "Apparently I'm back on TV tonight. I guess I'd better shave and shower."
The Celebrity Wheel Of Fortune Instagram page also celebrated the return of Pat Sajak as they posted a picture of him on set with hostess Vanna White.
Naturally, the fans of Wheel of Fortune were over the moon about his appearance.
Internet Reacts To Pat Sajak Returning To 'Wheel Of Fortune'
The internet were happy to see him back and sad to see him go again.
"Great to see Pat return! Having fun!" writes one.
"Great to see Pat Sajak back in action! ?" another compliments.
"Love Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. Great seeing Pat also. Looking forward to solving the puzzles," one other says.
Many spoke directly to Pat under his X post.
"Looking forward to seeing you back!!" enthusiastically states a fan.
"I will be glad to see you back, Sajak!" another comments.
"We can't smell you on tv. Shave will do," one writes, humorously responding to his post.
Pat Sajak retired back in June, as he wished to leave a little sooner rather than leave it too late. He has been a beloved host on the show for a long time, so he does deserve some time for himself outside the wheel.
Ryan Seacrest has filled in for him, and he's doing a brilliant job.
