Sajak, 74, sat down for an exclusive interview with ET alongside longtime game show co-host Vanna White, 64. The two reflected on their time together and how long they see themselves hosting the show.
"We're certainly closer to the end than the beginning," Sajak. shared. "I'd like to leave before people tune in and look at me and say, 'Ooh, what happened to him?'"
"I wouldn't bet on seeing us in, like, 10 years, I would say," he added, before asking White, "Is that fair [to say]?"
“Probably, yes,” White replied.

"We've been together for like 38 years and he's like my brother," White said. "He's funny. I mean, we could finish each other's sentences if we wanted to. We know each other that well."
