Both game shows will premiere on ABC and be available to stream the following day on Hulu.
Actors, athletes, singers and comedians will be by Sajak’s side to help celebrate his final moments spinning the iconic game show set piece. ABC also shared in the press release the full lineup of stars who are competing during Sajak’s last episodes.

Sajak, 78, departed “Wheel of Fortune” last year after hosting the show since 1981. In his final message, he shared a moving message to his longtime fans.
“It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade,” he said, in part. “And I’ve always felt that the privilege came with a responsibility to keep this daily half-hour a safe place for family fun. No social issues, no politics, nothing embarrassing, I hope. Just a game.”
Sajak added, “What an honor to have played even a small part in all that. Thank you for allowing me into your lives.”
Ryan Seacrest replaced Sajak and has been leading the game show with co-host Vanna White since Sept. 9.
