    Is Vanna gonna stay? I suppose I could read the article, but trying to keep Reddit traditions alive.

            If you had asked me if they were still on the show before I read this article, I would have said “of course not.”

            I just hope this is mutual. Not that they shouldn’t go retire now, just that it would make me sad if I learned that they were being pushed out against their will.

      Same. I haven’t watched it in forever but I grew up watching wheel of fortune and jeopardy during dinner with the family almost every night

    Eh, good for him for hanging it up on his terms, but it doesn’t mean nearly as much for me as Alex Trebek leaving* Jeopardy.

    I don’t think I’ll be crying over this; between his support of MAGA Republicans and his increasingly cringe on screen antics, I’d been losing interest in him remaining host for a while.

    He’s been doing that show since I was a kid. It’s been a while. I think retirement might be a good idea before death comes knocking.

    Wow. They should just end the show forever. Forget about replacing him or Vanna.
