Pat Sajak will appear as host of "Wheel of Fortune" for the last time on Friday, but tickets are already on sale to see him star in "Prescription: Murder," the stage play that inspired the TV series "Columbo," in Hawaii in 2025.
Sajak has retired from hosting "Wheel of Fortune" after more than 40 years, during which time he won three Daytime Emmy awards, and he has already lined up his next project with longtime friend Joe Moore, an actor and KHON-TV Hawai’i newscaster.
The pair will star in the Hawaii Theatre's production of the 1962 play "Prescription: Murder" by William Link and Richard Levinson, who adapted the play for the pilot of the TV series "Columbo." It will be their ninth theatrical production together, after first co-starring in Moore’s original play “Prophecy and Honor" in 1993.
According to a description on the theater's website, Sajak will star as the “brilliant psychiatrist" Roy Flemming, who, with his mistress (Therese Olival), plots to murder his "neurotic and possessive" wife (Amy K. Sullivan), and the scheme relies on "a bizarre impersonation to create a perfect alibi." Moore plays Lt. Columbo, who "engages the psychiatrist in a cat-and-mouse battle of wits right up till the play’s surprising climax."
The cast also includes Moore's son, Bryce Moore, as the Asst. District Attorney, and the play will be directed by Rob Duval.
The show will run from July 31 to Aug. 10, 2025. Tickets are on sale now, and $75 VIP tickets include a meet and greet photo opportunity with the stars and an autographed playbill. All of the net proceeds for the show will go to support the Hawaii Theatre Center.
