The show is also planning theme weeks around holidays such as Halloween and interest groups such as veterans and teachers. Season 41 will focus on Pat Sajak’s farewell tour after an astonishingly long tenure for a TV game show host. She will hit the road for a recurring “Fan Fridays” segment that will feature the younger Sajak touring such spots as Newport, R.I., Portland, Maine, New York City and numerous stops in Europe, in keeping with the show’s partnership with guided tour firm Collette.
Maggie Sajak, daughter of Pat Sajak, will expand her role as the show’s social media correspondent in the coming year. Van Wagner’s credits include ABC’s “Shark Tank” and “Holey Moley,” NBC’s “The Voice” and NBCUniversal’s syndicated daytime talker “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” In other changes for the show, longtime “Wheel” director Robert Ennis has retired, handing the reins to Alex Van Wagner.
