'If you think about it, by doing the 'final spin' I, as host, had an impact on the outcome of the game and that has always bothered me because it just didn’t feel right,' Sajak said. Instead, the contestant in control of the Wheel at the time will spin to determine the amount each consonant is worth during the final round. Sajak - who is now consulting producer as well as host - will no longer do the 'Final Spin' of the game.
While the game show has locked in its longtime hosts for future seasons, other features of the show are about to change for season 39. Sony Pictures Television announced Wednesday that Pat Sajak and Vanna White have inked a deal to host 'Wheel of Fortune' through 2024.
