Wheel of Fortune ex-host Pat Sajak ditches his suit for casual new look as he grabs lunch one year after retirement

PAT Sajak cut a casual figure as he enjoyed a steak lunch a year after he stepped down from hosting Wheel of Fortune.

The TV star, 78, joined friends for a two-hour lunch at the fancy eatery, Larsen’s Eatery in the Los Angeles suburb of Encino.

Pat looked relaxed in a gray shirt, matching gray loafers and dark gray chinos for his lunch date with pals.

The Wheel of Fortune legend wore the shirt in a loose open-button style and with the sleeves rolled up.

Pat’s lunch outfit was a very different style to his usual formal shirt and tie which he wore during his 40 years hosting the popular TV game show.

He announced on June 12, 2023, that he would be stepping down from his role as Wheel of Fortune host after starting on the game show in 1983.

Later that month, American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest confirmed that he would be taking over as Wheel of Fortune’s new host.

Following his exit as host, a network representative revealed Pat agreed to stay on the show as a consultant for three additional years.

Pat was joined on Wheel of Fortune by co-host Vanna White in 1982, and she remains on the show.

While Pat has kept a low profile since his retirement, he was spotted having lunch with Vanna in September last year.

Prior to the entertainment industry, Pat worked as a disc jockey and played various stints at radio stations.

He also landed a job serving in the US Army as a DJ for the American Forces Vietnam Network during the war, entertaining soldiers out in Vietnam.

While hosting Wheel of Fortune, Pat received 19 Emmy nominations for the Outstanding Game Show Host and has won in the category three times.

Pat has been married to photographer Lesly Brown since 1989 and they are parents to two children, Maggie and Patrick.

Wheel of Fortune's big changes

The game show has undergone a major transformation now that Ryan Seacrest has taken over hosting duties for Pat Sajak.

-Ryan and Vanna White now host on a brand-new set, featuring a blue-toned stage, a green screen and art-deco wheel design.

-Ryan and Vanna make their big entrance from behind new sliding, brightly lit doors.

-Vanna turns – or now, touches – a modern, digital puzzle board controlled by lasers.

-Ryan brings a new hosting style, and has ditched Pat’s signature cue cards.

-The prizes have also been upgraded, and now include tickets to NFL games, and tickets to A-list concerts.

Maggie has become a regular fixture on Wheel of Fortune as the show’s digital correspondent, where she would interview contestants and the hosts for web-exclusive gameshow extras.

In January 2020, when Pat was recovering from a surgery, Vanna took over as host while Maggie stepped into Vanna’s shoes as the letter-turner.

According to the show’s website, Maggie visited the set non-stop when she was a child.

The aspiring country music artist whose songs have appeared in movie soundtracks graduated from Princeton and completed a postgrad program at Columbia.

On Thursday, Hill’s eight-month-old daughter, Capri, was rushed to the emergency room.

“Last night was scary,” Vaccaro posted.

“I called @drjaredmiami , and within minutes, he had us straight into the ER with an incredible team waiting for us.

“Blood work, viral panels, cultures, done swiftly and gently.

“So grateful for the kind of care that shows up at late night and gets things handled.

“She’s doing much better today.”

Hill missed practice on Wednesday with what the team said was an undisclosed injury.

He was later seen boarding a plane for the Miami Dolphins‘ upcoming preseason game against the Chicago Bears.

It’s unclear if he saw his daughter during her health scare.

Fans were relieved to see that she is doing okay, and shared their thoughts on social media.

“Glad she is ok!” one fan said.

“Oh no!!! I’m glad she is feeling better!” another fan said.

“Thank God she’s ok,” a third fan said.

Brazen cop under fire after revealing the NSFW reason ‘everyone is getting a ticket’ – she insists she was ‘only joking’

A COP is receiving major backlash after joking about writing everyone a ticket.

Jennifer Escalera, a Texas deputy with the Harris County Constable Precinct 5, is responding to criticism she received about a joke she made on TikTok.

Escalera posted a viral video of her sitting in her police car, saying that she would write a ticket to everyone she pulled over since she didn’t have sex the night before.

“Didn’t get cracked last night, so everyone is getting a ticket,” she said in the video.

Despite her threat, Escalera reportedly didn’t give anyone a ticket that day, TMZ reported. 

A spokesperson for the constable told the outlet that the officer is under investigation, but will remain active pending the outcome of the probe.  

“Our administration is aware and internal affairs has opened an investigation,” the office told Fox affiliate KRV

“We have no other comment at this time.”

Houston residents and social media users alike don’t approve of the cop’s actions.

“I think it’s really inappropriate and disrespectful,” resident Alex Fitch told the outlet. 

One Instagram user commented on a repost of the since-deleted video, “I’m sure that she is joking, although she made a bad choice to put this out there.

“I don’t think she should be fired for it, but they should definitely tell her to stay off social media when it comes to her job.”

Other social media users criticized people for not being able to “take a joke.”

“No one can take a joke anymore,” one commenter wrote.

Another said: “Hillarious, everyone getting after a woman making a (possibly bad) joke, but actually police misconduct swept under the rug.”

One woman scolded the officer for having no “decorum.”

Our administration is aware, and internal affairs has opened an investigation.

“People are too comfortable these days putting any and everything online,” the woman commented.

“Decorum is just out the window, I guess.”

Escalera may have deleted that video, but she kept up other videos where she references her job.

In one video, she shows her morning routine before heading off to work.

“A little [get ready with me] to go to work as a female police officer,” she captioned the video.

In the two-minute ‘Get Ready with Me’ video, she shows herself getting out of bed, applying makeup, and getting dressed. 

At the end of the clip, she’s fully suited up in her uniform, ready to take on the day.

Howard Stern ‘can’t stand’ Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper as beloved Gen Z podcaster is now SiriusXM’s ‘biggest star’

HOWARD Stern can’t stand Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper, as the beloved podcaster is now SiriusXM’s biggest star, sources have told The U.S. Sun.

According to one insider, Stern‘s hostility toward the 30-year-old podcasting sensation runs so deep, SiriusXM execs make sure the two don’t cross paths when she’s in New York.

Sources told The U.S. Sun that Stern ‘hates’ that Alex is the next big thing at the satellite radio provider[/caption]

“She’s the one that bugs him,” the insider explained.

“She gets hundreds of millions of hits, she has this mega $125 million deal, and he hates that this young bubbly woman is the big new thing.

“That’s who they have to keep Howard away from when she comes to New York.”

L.A.-based Alex left her previous home on Spotify and signed the massive deal with SiriusXM last year.

The source claimed talented podcasters like Cooper are leaving old-school radio personalities like Stern, 71, in the dust.

“It’s completely turned Howard’s world upside down. He’s been in radio 40 years, and this change has really shocked everyone.

“Alex and Joe Rogan, these massive podcasters, have traditional radio guys stunned.”

The insider added of Cooper, “she’s female, she’s the next generation.

“That’s the future. iHeartRadio is desperately trying to find someone like that.”

Meanwhile, a second source also touched on rumors that Stern is taking issue with his fellow SiriusXM superstar, Bravo’s Andy Cohen

“Andy’s interviews are regularly promoted by Sirius, while you just don’t hear much about Howard’s interviews these days.”

The first insider also added that Howard, who for the most part has been taping from home since Covid, has his own wing at SiriusXM in New York City.

“Once you’re inside Sirius, you need a special access card to get to where Howard tapes. It’s his very own wing, and he barely uses it.”

SHOW OVER?

Sources claimed to The U.S. Sun on Tuesday that Stern’s SiriusXM show is set to be canceled, as it is unlikely they’ll meet his financial demands when his current five-year contract ends this fall.

An insider disclosed: “Stern’s contract is up in the fall, and while Sirius is planning to make him an offer, they don’t intend for him to take it.

“Sirius and Stern are never going to agree on the money he is going to want. It’s no longer worth the investment.”

The source also mentioned that SiriusXM is expected to negotiate a deal to retain Stern’s extensive show library, stating: “But as far as him coming back to doing the show, there’s no way they can keep paying his salary.”

Howard Stern's Career

Howard Stern has had a prolific radio career, but he's also had success in film, books and TV.

Stern’s love affair with radio began when he was a student at Boston University, where he worked at the school’s radio station before graduating in 1976.

After college, he had a series of on-air jobs in Hartford, Connecticut, Detroit, Michigan and then Washington D.C., where he met his eventual sidekick Robin Quivers.

It was in D.C. where Stern began honing his shock jock schtick.

They were fired and the pair landed at WNBC in New York City in 1982.

In a few short years at WNBC, Stern butted heads with management and was ultimately axed.

The duo joined WXRK-FM in New York in 1985 and they were there until 2004 when they joined SiriusXM.

Howard has been at SiriusXM since, with his contracts estimated to be between $80 million and a $100 million a year over the last two decades.

He also starred in and was the executive producer of his autobiography and blockbuster movie Private Parts, which debuted in 1997.

He’s also authored several books and was a judge on America’s Got Talent for three seasons.

Referencing broader financial challenges in the media industry, the insider added, “After you saw what happened with Stephen Colbert, it’s like they just can’t afford to keep him going.”

Neither SiriusXM nor Stern responded to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

One thing both Cooper and Stern have in common: They both interviewed presidential hopeful, Vice President Kamala Harris, in the run-up to the 2024 election.

Before The U.S. Sun’s exclusive reporting, the shock jock’s retirement rumors have swirled for years, paired with his own on-air grumblings.
