See Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak’s massive $5.5m LA mansion featuring six bedrooms, inground pool and palm trees

WHEEL of Fortune host Pat Sajak’s Los Angeles home boasts an impressive in-ground pool and palm tree landscape in new exclusive photos obtained by The U.S. Sun.

Pat, 76, announced his retirement last week, and it appears the host is ready to settle into a life of luxury in the home he shares with his wife Lesly Brown, 57.

Pat bought the six-bedroom, six-bathroom home in 1988, and it’s now valued at around $5.5million.

The 7,500-square-foot mansion sits on a four-acre lot on a hill in Encino, a neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles.

A long private driveway hides Pat’s pad behind a landscape of greenery and palm trees.

In the backyard, a large in-ground pool sits alongside a large patio extending into an open green garden.

The unique architecture structured his home with two dome roofs with a glass ceiling inset dividing them.

Pat enjoys sprawling scenic views from his windows and outdoor porch.

REPLACING PAT

Since Pat announced his retirement on Monday, June 12 in a Twitter post, fans have been bursting at the seams to find out who will be his replacement host.

The Wheel of Fortune legend began hosting in 1984 and has done so for 40 years alongside his co-host, Vanna White.

Pat Tweeted: “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. Many thanks to you all.”

Pat will continue to host until June 2024, and no host successor has been named as of press time.

Several television stars have been throwing their hat in the ring to be considered for the next Wheel of Fortune host position.

Stars rumored to be under consideration have included Vanna, his daughter Maggie Sajak, The View’s Whoopi Goldberg, and Ryan Seacrest.

GOLDBERG’S GRIPE

The U.S. Sun previously reported that Whoopi shared her thoughts about a chance to host Wheel of Fortune off-camera during a The View episode.

According to an eyewitness at the live taping, Whoopi addressed the audience, her co-hosts, and The View producers and said: “It would be fun to host Wheel of Fortune.”

Whoopi explained: “There are no politics on game shows.”

She revealed a drawback to her job as she commented: “The downside to [hosting on The View] is [the panel] doesn’t get any brands approaching us to do commercials because of [things we say on TV.]”

The rest of the ladies on the panel, including Sara Haines, 45, Joy Behar, 80, Sunny Hostin, 54, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, 33, all nodded in agreement with The View executive producers.

Whoopi concluded: “I would feel special if they moved Wheel of Fortune to New York City just for me.”

WHEEL-Y READY

The live on-air banter started when Joy playfully nominated Whoopi to take over hosting Wheel of Fortune live on-air.

The hosts were talking to Ken about his experience taking over Jeopardy! from the legend Alex Trebek.

Then, Alyssa brought up Pat’s retirement and asked Ken who he thinks should replace the Wheel of Fortune host.

“Well, Pat’s a legend. Over 40 years and the price of a vowel has not gone up one penny,” Ken joked.

“But that’s an interesting question,” he continued, “Hopefully, Wheel has got an envelope somewhere that says, ‘What do when Pat packs it in.'”

Joy interjected: “Whoopi wants to do it.”

“I want that job!” Whoopi exclaimed.

“Well, there you go, we figured it out,” Ken laughed.

“I think it would be lots of fun,” Whoopi commented.

Joy joked she and Sara could be the new Vanna.

“Sara and I could be Vanna White. We’ll take turns walking back and forth, pointing to the letters,” she said.

“Yes, yes!” Sara agreed.

“So we would call you Beh-ra White,” Whoopi joked, spinning a pun on Joy’s last name.

WHEEL-Y GOOD PICK

However, the American Idol host and television legend Ryan Seacrest is reportedly the front-runner for Pat’s spot.

Last week, The U.S. Sun talked with Live host Mark Consuelos about Pat’s retirement and his thoughts on Ryan taking over.

Ryan used to host Live with Mark’s wife, Kelly Ripa.

Mark told The U.S. Sun: “I think [Ryan] would be great and that’s a great job for him.”

The Live host conceded: “Although I’ve never really discussed it with him if that’s something he wanted to do.”
