Former “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak had fans feeling nostalgic after he made an internet comeback with a home video.
Pat teamed up with her daughter Maggie Sajak – who currently works as a “Wheel of Fortune” social media reporter – for a TikTok video released on March 28 in which the 79-year-old gave a beautiful lip sync performance to Tame Impala’s “Dracula.”
He opened the clip walking down the aisle, singing his part of the song before the camera cut to Maggie.
The father-daughter duo closed the post by standing next to each other.
Maggie, 31, captioned the post: “got him back. Thank goodness you love @Tame Impala.”
Of course, fans could not contain their joy when they saw the retired star and quickly gathered in the comments to share kind words.
“omg!! pat looks amazing. I miss you man, for 35 years I watched you every night so much. thanks for all the years of happiness,” another fan added.
Another wrote: “I miss Pat on my TV! ❤️”
Pat announced in June 2023 that he would retire after closing the show’s 41st season after four decades.
He continued: “It’s been a great journey, and I’ll be talking more in the coming months. “Thank you so much to all of you. (If nothing else, it will keep the clickbait sites busy!)” the game developer said in a statement to X at the time.
He held his last episode on June 7, 2024.
“It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade,” said the TV star.
He continued: “I always felt that this right came with the responsibility of keeping this half hour of the day as a safe place for family entertainment.
Pat was eventually replaced by longtime TV host Ryan Seacrest.
While stepping down as host, Suzanne Prete previously told Variety that Pat will stay on for at least three more years as she has “agreed to continue as a consultant on the show” after her final season.
Pat first hosted the syndicated sports show when it debuted at night in 1983. He also hosted the daytime edition from 1981 to 1989.
