Andy Cohen, host of  "Watch What Happens Live" says that hosting Wheel of Fortune would be his dream job!

Andy Cohen is undoubtedly one of the best in the business when it comes to hosting.  He’s engaging, and very funny as a host, and he's also a savvy producer.

In an interview with Us Weekly, Christina Garibaldi asked Andy to confirm a story she’d heard: “If you would ever take Pat Sajak’s place on Wheel of Fortune?” “Dream job,” Andy replied, very enthusiastically. He'd love it! He went on to say,  "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.”

When Cohen was asked who else might be good for the position, he thought and said, “I don’t know, let’s keep talking about me.”

Pat Sajak, the long-time host of Wheel Of Fortune, announced last month that he planned to retire after the current season - season 41 - wraps up filming.  News of the legendary game show host's retirement immediately started the "who could take is place" questions.

Andy Cohen began his career in television as an intern at CBS News. He spent 10 years at CBS, eventually serving as senior producer of The Early Show, a producer for 48 Hours, and a producer for CBS This Morning He joined the television network Trio in 2000, later becoming vice president of original programming at Bravo in 2004, when the network purchased Trio.

Cohen was a regular on Today and Morning Joe, and has co-hosted Live! with Kelly, and The View. He has made various guest appearances on other talk shows. He has made several guest appearances on television shows playing himself, such as The Comeback and Saturday Night Live.

In 2009, Cohen began hosting the weekly midnight television talk show, Watch What Happens Live. The show was later became a weeknight series.

Andy Cohen may have never hosted a game show, as of yet, but here  several other game show hosts who weren't originally game show hosts.

The early quiz show started in radio before moving to television in 1950. The original version was hosted by Groucho Marx, who - along with his(Marx) brothers - was a hilariously funny actor.
