Last June, Pat Sajak said goodbye to his gig as the longtime host of Wheel of Fortune after an incredible 41 seasons – and retirement from the show is looking good on him!
Just over one year after his final episode of the series, Sajak, 78, was spotted having lunch with friends at the upscale eatery Larsen’s Steakhouse in Encino, California.
The television personality looked relaxed in a classy yet comfortable look, sporting a light colored button-up shirt and a pair of dark wash jeans for the outing.

Rarely seen out and about, this is reportedly the first time Sajak has been photographed publicly since September 2024, when he was seen having a meal with former Wheel of Fortune cohost Vanna White.
While Sajak ended his decades-long career on the original run of the hit game show, he still hosted season 5 of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune earlier this year.
The last episode aired on June 10. This summer, he also starred as Dr. Roy Flemming in a revival of the ’60s mystery play Prescription: Murder at the Hawaii Theatre in Honolulu.

As for what comes next for the famed television host, in a 2023 interview with the KHON2 news station in Hawaii, he quipped: “I suspect most of my time will be whittling on the front porch. But [I] don’t know how to whittle and I don’t have a front porch. So that’ll be a challenge.”
