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

I read the article for us and it doesn't say, unfortunately.

FWIW There's another article I read that says the producers have only committed to having both on the show through 2024.

They both deserve retirement, honestly.

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.

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.

Hope the hosting search doesn't end up the same way.

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.

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.
