I\u2019ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. It\u2019s been a wonderful ride, and I\u2019ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. (If nothing else, it\u2019ll keep the clickbait sites busy!)\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sajak was born in Chicago in 1946, went to Columbia College, then served in the U.S. Army as a disc jockey during the Vietnam War for American Forces Vietnam Network. He later worked as a weatherman before becoming a weather reporter for KNBC in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Merv Griffin fought for Sajak to become the host of \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d to succeed Chuck Woolery, he took over as host in 1981. In the 2018-19 season, he became the longest-running host of any game show, passing Bob Barker, who had hosted The Price Is Right.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sajak, a staunch political conservative, has served as an external director of\u00a0Eagle Publishing and served on the board of directors of the Claremont Institute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sajak\u2019s rapier wit on Twitter has endeared him to conservatives for years. Targeting the non-stop coverage of Great Britain\u2019s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle amidst ferociously incessant coverage of the woke couple because of Harry\u2019s new memoir, \u201cSpare,\u201d Sajak <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/patsajak\/status\/1612831630888165377?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted<\/a>, \u201cHaving trouble finding information about Prince Harry and his wife (Meghan, I think). Any sources you might suggest?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In November 2019, Sajak, then 73, took notice of the unhinged climate alarmists on the Left who had decided to avoid having children in order to save the planet. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/American-Politics\/Ocasio-Cortez-Is-it-okay-to-still-have-kids-in-light-of-climate-change-582150\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pontificated<\/a>, \u201cOur planet is going to hit disaster if we don\u2019t turn this ship around and so it\u2019s basically like, there\u2019s a scientific consensus that the lives of children are going to be very difficult. And it does lead, I think, young people to have a legitimate question, you know, \u2018Is it okay to still have children?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Offering his own hilarious solution for the problem. \u00a0Sajak tweeted, \u201cIn order to save our planet, I\u2019m asking everyone in America who\u2019s 73-years-old or older to join me in pledging not to have any more children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sajak had lanced the self-importance of celebrities before as well. In October 2017,<strong> <\/strong>he issued a tweet in the wake of the plethora of uninformed opinions offered by celebrities (in response to the Las Vegas massacre), writing, \u201cOK, let me explain this again: We\u2019re celebs. We\u2019re wiser &#038; more empathetic than you. We are famous.
