Andy Cohen's Bold Confession: Why He Considers Replacing Pat Sajak on 'Wheel of Fortune' His Ultimate Dream Job!

Andy Cohen, 55, expressed his aspiration to lead America's beloved game show, Wheel of Fortune, considering it to be his ultimate dream job. He revealed his exclusive desire to potentially replace Pat Sajak, stating that it would be an incredible opportunity.

The executive producer of The Real Housewives is known for hosting reality TV show reunions and Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen regularly. He also had a stint as the host of a Love Connection reboot. However, hosting a true game show is a new and unexplored territory for him.

During his promotion of the recent collaboration with Fresca Mixed, Andy Cohen expressed his excitement about venturing into the realm of game shows, particularly emphasizing his interest in the renowned and enjoyable nature of this premier genre.

The position is now available following Sajak's announcement that he will be retiring next year. In a statement to Bloomberg News, the game show host expressed, "The time has come. I have made the decision that the upcoming 41st season, starting in September, will be my final one. It has been an incredible journey, and I will share more details in the months ahead. Thank you all for your support."

Wheel of Fortune made its debut in 1975, with Chuck Woolery as the original host. However, in 1981, Pat Sajak took over as the host and has become synonymous with the game show ever since. In fact, Sajak achieved a remarkable feat in 2019 when he broke the Guinness World Record for the longest-running game show host, surpassing the legendary Bob Barker, who hosted The Price Is Right from 1972 to 2007.

Cohen expressed admiration for Sajak's impressive four-decade tenure as the host of Wheel of Fortune. Speaking highly of Sajak, the author of Daddy Diaries emphasized that he is often underrated and that people fail to grasp the immense difficulty and skill required to successfully host the show. Cohen praised Sajak for his intelligence, humor, and exceptional hosting abilities, noting that there is a clear reason why he has remained on the show for such a long time. Cohen concluded by affirming that it would be a dream come true to have the opportunity to host alongside Sajak.

Cohen, a St. Louis native, expresses his love for Fresca Mixed, a range of ready-to-drink canned cocktails that combine Fresca with authentic spirits. He particularly enjoys the new variety pack of vodka spritz flavors, which includes mango citrus, mixed berry citrus, and pineapple citrus. Among them, his favorite is the mango flavor.

Cohen revealed that he has been secretly mixing fresco with alcohol for a long time, and now he is encouraging others to share their own secret at FrescaMixed.com. By doing so, they have a chance to win amazing prizes such as a trip for four to the Hamptons or a virtual kiki with Cohen where they can gossip and ask him anything they want to know. Additionally, Cohen mentioned that he will be personally handing out Fresca in Montauk on June 30. It's worth noting that Fresca is a low-calorie drink with no added sugar. To participate in the Fresca Mixed "The Secret of Summer" Sweepstakes, entries must be submitted by July 4 for a chance to win a call with Cohen. For the grand prize trip to the Hamptons, entries must be received by August 31.
