The Fox News Channel has hired Sajak to serve as host of a weekly Sunday-night talk show, according to the Wall Street Journal. The show is scheduled to air at 8 p.m. ET, leading into "At Large with Geraldo Rivera."

Sajak is not a stranger to talk shows, although his last foray into the genre didn't go so well. He hosted "The Pat Sajak Show" on CBS in 1989 and '90. It was first attempt in many years to challenge "The Tonight Show," and it failed, generally trailing both "Tonight" and the syndicated "Arsenio" in the ratings.
