Pat Sajak recently made headlines when he was spotted rocking out at a jazz club in Honolulu, Hawaii. The “Wheel of Fortune” host was seen enjoying a performance by the popular 1980s soft rock group, Air Supply. The footage, obtained by TMZ, captured Pat sitting front row with his family, completely engrossed in the music. However, there was a moment when Pat seemed to lose interest, as he was caught zoning out and picking at his fingernail.
The fact that Air Supply was performing at a jazz club in Hawaii rather than their usual venue in Las Vegas raised some eyebrows. It’s not often that such a renowned band plays in a relatively small joint like the Blue Note. Nevertheless, a gig is a gig, and the band gave it their all on stage, despite Pat’s temporary distraction.
This musical outing comes at an interesting time for Pat Sajak, as he recently announced his retirement from hosting “Wheel of Fortune.” After more than four decades on the TV game show, Pat has decided to hang up his hosting duties after the upcoming season. His decision to retire has sparked speculation about who will replace him, with rumors that his daughter, Maggie, was angling for the job. However, it was ultimately announced that Ryan Seacrest would be taking over as the new host.
Interestingly, Pat’s daughter Maggie was also in attendance at the jazz club, sitting next to her father. Maggie has occasionally stepped in for Vanna White when she was on vacation, fueling rumors about her potential role on “Wheel of Fortune.” Speaking of Vanna, it has been reported that she is negotiating for a significant pay raise, demanding at least half of Pat’s salary or else she may not continue on the show.
