Pat’s and Vanna’s contracts are both up at the end of the upcoming season - mean they will be 75 and 65 respectfully when the season ends. Do we think they’ll renew for another two years? I don’t know why, but I keep having this nagging feeling that Pat just might hang it up. And Vanna has said many times that if he goes, she goes too. Given that Pat’s daughter, Maggie, is having a bigger presence on the show and with the change in the new season of Pat not doing the final spins, I keep wondering if it’s a sign of other things to come. Of course, I might be reading too much in to things. It also means I need to hurry up and get picked to be on the show soon before my two favorite people are retired!
Thoughts?

I wouldn't be shocked if Pat retires after this season, and I know Vanna has said she would leave at the same time but I could also see her staying for at least one more season after him. It would be great though if they stayed at least one more season after this one so they're on for the 40th season.

I would think- or certainly hope- that after the kerfuffle at Jeopardy they'll give Pat and Vanna whatever they want to keep them as long as they want...

^ Even though half the GP hates Pat because he's a conservative and climate change denier?

But, if he's so hated, why hasn't "cancel culture" swallowed him up? I know Pat's political views are less than palatable to most, myself included. But, it's obviously not something that's big enough for him to get the axe.

Yeah, if this tweet happened in 2020 or 21, there definitely would have been consequences.  |

Will jeopardy and wheel of fortune set change under new executive producer Wheel's set literally just changed. There's a separate thread for discussion on that. |

Probably the biggest surprise of all is that “Changing Keys” will be returning as the theme song with a new arrangement. 😁 |

So that ends the speculation Pat and Vanna would retire after season 40 I guess.
