Pat Sajak has finally said his emotional goodbye as he retires from Wheel of Fortune after 43 years as the game show host. But while fans might be sad to see him go, Pat will be living the life of luxury as he retires to his Encino house.

This is the host's second home, as he also lives in Severna Park, Maryland with his wife Lesly Brown, whom he has been married to since 1989. Together, they share a son, Patrick Michael James Sajak, who is a doctor, and daughter Maggie Marie Sajak, a country musician and social correspondent on Wheel of Fortune.

Emotionally, he continued: "But gradually it became more than that — a place where kids learn their letters, where people from other countries honed their English skills, where families came together, along with friends and neighbors and entire generations.”
“What an honor to play even a small part in all of that," he said in his sign off: "Thank you for allowing me into your lives.”
In 2018, he overtook The Price Is Right's Bob Barker as the longest-running host of a game show. American Idol host Ryan Seacrest is set to fill Pat's role, but already the 77-year-old has figured out his next move as he will star in a Hawaiian community theater production of "Prescription: Murder".
