At 74 years old,
Wheel of Fortune this year, and many tabloids have taken note.
Gossip Cop regularly investigates stories about Sajak’s future on the program. Is he really retiring because his mind is slipping? Here’s what we’ve found out.
Trying To Stay Hip
According to the
Globe, Pat Sajak was trying to revamp his appearance to keep up with the changing times. After causing a stir during a tense contestant encounter, Sajak reportedly decided that a makeover would help him get back in people’s good graces. A source said, “He’s so desperate to be cool and he’s even talking about getting a tattoo and pierced ear.” He was also dying his hair super blonde and getting a facelift to look younger. In reality, Sajak has adamantly apologized for the recent controversy, and it didn’t have nearly the impact on his career that the tabloid made it out to be. This makeover never happened, so the story is completely false.
