Wasn't he that in Season 38? He had some sort of nominal producer credit.

Yes, that's right!  And Ken Jennings assumed the same role on J!

I'm wonder if under the new "Final Spin," rule; whether the amount is determined by the controlling players arrow, or the usual red player's arrow.

Reportedly, Sajak said this about the "Final Spin," change:

“If you think about it, by doing the ‘final spin,’ I, as host, had an impact on the outcome of the game and that has always bothered me because it just didn’t feel right.  With this change, only the contestants determine the outcome of the game and the host does not impose themself in any way.”

Another wrinkle for the new season:  Pat Sajak's daughter will be a part of the show as well:

If you think about it, it only took the producers 40 years to change something that Pat "just didn't feel right" about, that "always bothered" him..

So, not to get too presumptuous considering all we've been through this season...is she being groomed to replace Vanna? She's becoming a larger on screen presence, so everyone will become very familiar with her by 2024. Plus, she's pretty.
