Time for me to start a debate:
With Mark L. Walberg hosting the live tour of Wheel Of Fortune, could he be in line to replace Pat?
What do you think?

I think he’d be a great fit, when Pat’s ready. I personally still like Pat as the host, he’s the staple of Wheel (Just like how Alex Trebek was the staple of Jeopardy), but I did read an article saying how his time is nearly up. I’m still for Bob Goen replacing him too, I liked when he did Daytime Wheel.
Just my opinion of course.

I’m afraid Bob is up there in age too, so I don’t see that happening. I’d have to think they’re grooming Mark.

Bryan's right, Bob is 67, will turn 68 on Dec. 1st.
However, believe it or not, Mark L. Wahlberg just turned 60 last month!
Todd Newton is jut 52, but I don't know that his personality would gel with Wheel. Todd's a sensational host, but it seems Wheel requires a more "sedate" kind of host, in spite of the fact that there is huge money on the line every episode.
I can't believe Vanna is now 65! Harder to believe this is Wheel's 40th season in syndication.
Ahmad Rashad has proven he's a terrific host with word games, but much to my amazement I just learned that he himself is 72!!!
Another possibility maybe, Ty Treadway. Ty hosted Merv Griffin's Crosswords back in the day. Ty is 55 currently.

It's my understanding they have just launched the live tour which is supposed to be their first. Pat's talk of walking away has been in discussion the last couple of years since his surgery.
It's hard to brush this off as a coincidence, but I hear they may be rotating hosts on the tour too.
For the moment it's like college football, it's unpredictable.
