Pat Sajak is signing off.
The “Wheel of Fortune” host bid an emotional goodbye to viewers in a video shared hours before his final episode of the game show airs on Friday.
The famed host, 77, stood on set of the ABC show as he addressed loyal fans directly in the camera.
“Well, the time has come to say goodbye,” he began. “I have a few thanks and acknowledgments before I go, and I want to start with all of you watching out there. It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade.”
Sajak kicked off hosting “Wheel of Fortune” in 1981 and has taped more than 8,000 episodes alongside his parter, letter-turner Vanna White.
He announced his decision to step down after 41 seasons in June 2023.
Ryan Seacrest will replace Sajak for Season 42 in the fall.
