Wheel Of Fortune’s Pat Sajak looks unrecognizable with disheveled look as he stuffs face with fast food amid retirement
PAT SAJAK has looked nearly unrecognizable as he went to town on some fast food during a rare public outing in new photos.
Last month, the 76-year-old announced that the next season of Wheel of Fortune would be his last.

Pat looked weary as he ran errands in Los Angeles, California, on July 24th.
The game show stalwart was spotted in photos exclusively obtained by The U.S. Sun grocery stopping and grabbing fast food.
He had a subdued expression as he spun through the drive-thru at an In-N-Out Burger on the summer day.
Pat could then be seen taking a sizable bite of what looked like a gigantic burger while parked outside of the establishment.
The Chicago-born TV vet – stepping down from Wheel next year after more than four decades – then shopped at a Gelson’s supermarket for about a half hour before heading to his Encino home.
Pat was clad in casual wear; a green Under Armour T-shirt with black shorts and grey sneakers.
He wore a hat that was also Under Armour, and the logo bore the colors of the American flag – finishing off the thrown-together look with dark sunglasses.

BUSY BUNCH
Pat’s wife Lesly Brown, 58, was recently pictured near their home while a gardening crew tended to their property.
She donned a pink tank top with black shorts and black sandals, with her reddish brown locks pulled back into a ponytail.
Pat’s daughter Maggie Sajak, 28, whom fans want to have a bigger role when Pat steps down, was also pictured running errands in LA Monday.
Maggie donned a chic pink top and leggings while seemingly grabbing coffee.

On June 12, 2023, Pat told fans in a personal note on Twitter: “Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last.
“It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months.”
He will host until June 2024 at which point he will step down in lieu of Ryan Seacrest.
Since he has been spotted laying low in Hawaii and has focused on his role as chairman of a conservative college in Michigan.
VANNA LAWYERS UP FOR ‘FAIR PAY’
Pat’s outing came amid news that his longtime co-host Vanna White, 66, is demanding a hefty raise in the wake of his retirement, sources told People.
The source shared: “50 percent of Pat’s salary is so outrageous that no one in their right mind could say that it’s fair.
The negotiation is asking for much more than 50 percent of his salary. It’s asking for the same pay – if not more.”
Sources claimed Vanna’s lawyer, Bryan Friedman, is negotiating two deals: one for Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and the other for the long-running syndicated show, according to TMZ.
Negotiations for the syndicated program have reportedly halted due to the Writers Guild of America strike.
But an insider told the outlet: “It’s gonna get ugly if Sony doesn’t get more serious.”
Meanwhile, for her new contract for Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, the 66-year-old star will receive a “meaningful bump” and is expected to make $100,000 per episode – Pat allegedly makes $400,000 an episode.
This comes as TMZ previously confirmed that Vanna makes about $3million a year overall.
Her salary has reportedly remained the same for the past 18 years.
Pat reportedly makes about $15million a year overall, according to the outlet.
Negotiations between Vanna and Sony have become “very difficult,” an insider close to the situation told the outlet:
Another source claimed the hostess “feels like it’s a statement for all women” and is reportedly negotiating for “a minimum of what is fair.”
PAT’S A WRAP
Pat’s successor Ryan recently shared a lengthy statement on social media celebrating his role which he’ll take on for Season 42.
He said: “I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak.
“I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years.”
Ryan concluded: “I can’t wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White.”
Game show legend Pat began hosting in 1981 and has done so for 40 seasons with Vanna.
Meanwhile Pat is father to two adult children with wife Lesly – son Patrick, 32, and daughter Maggie- currently the social media correspondent.
