Andy made no mention of Jeopardy! - which is hosted by Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik - when asked if he'd like to host a game show during an interview with Us Weekly.

The talk show host said it would be his dream to replace Pat Sajak on Wheel of Fortune.

He admitted: “Dream, dream job. I would love to. That would be incredible.

“Not only is a game show the thing that I haven’t done yet, but that is the premiere game show. It’s really fun."

Andy regularly hosts TV reunions for the Real Housewives shows, as well as other Bravo reality shows like Summer House, Below Deck, and Vanderpump Rules.

He also has a radio show and hosts his own show, Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

Legendary host Pat, 76, announced earlier this month that he is bidding farewell to Wheel of Fortune after 40 years.

Pat began hosting Wheel of Fortune in 1981 and has done so for 40 years with Vanna White.

The TV stalwart tweeted: "Well, the time has come.

"I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last.

"It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all."

The major news comes after the season finale of Season 40 which aired on Friday, June 9.

Pat will host until June 2024, at which point he will step down.

No host successor has been named as of yet, but many fans think Pat's daughter Maggie Sajak will take over the role.

Pat had hinted late last year that he might be bowing out of the show.

FAREWELL PAT

He told Entertainment Tonight in September: "In most television shows by this time, you would have said, 'That’s probably enough,' but this show will not die."

"It appears I may go before the show."

He added: "It's been a long [time]. We're not going to do this for another 40 years.

"Years go by fast. We're getting near the end. It's been a long [time]. We're not gonna do this for another 40 years.

 

"It's an honor to have been in people's living rooms for that long. People were out there welcoming us. We're happy and proud."

That said, Vanna later made it clear she wasn't looking to go anywhere and called the idea of retiring depressing.
