Pat Sajak Joins Hawaii Theatre in Prescription: Murder

After retiring from Wheel of Fortune, Pat Sajak will star alongside longtime friend Joe Moore in a stage production of Prescription: Murder at the Hawaii Theatre Center in Honolulu. Sajak will play the lead role of Dr. Roy Flemming, a psychiatrist who devises an elaborate plan to murder his wife, while Moore portrays the iconic detective Lt. Columbo. The play, which inspired the Columbo TV series, marks a return to acting for Sajak, who has previously collaborated with Moore on several theatrical productions. This show, running from July 31 to August 10, will likely be the duo's final stage appearance together and serves as a fundraiser for the nonprofit Hawaii Theatre Center, with Sajak donating his time and talent to support the historic venue. Sajak's transition from game show host to theater actor highlights his long-standing passion for acting and philanthropy. In addition to his stage work, Sajak will also host his final season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
