Longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak is spinning his way up the ladder at Hillsdale College, and has landed in the chairman’s seat.
The small liberal arts college about 60 miles southeast of Battle Creek announced the well-known television game show host will lead the governing board. Sajak has been vice chairman of the board there for 15 years, according to the school’s campus newspaper, The Collegian.
Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn described Sajak has having a “wicked wit,” and displaying “calm and steady judgment,” according to the Associated Press.
Sajak, who is not a Hillsdale graduate, said he has been spending more time on campus in the last year, talking to students and staff, according to the AP. He told The Collegian that he’s been preparing for months to succeed the board’s past chairman, William Brodbeck.
Sajak’s new role won’t interfere with his TV hosting schedule.
