Pat Sajak doesn't plan to host Wheel of Fortune forever.In a taped interview that aired on Friday's episode of Good Morning America, the 73-year-old game show host revealed that he'll likely depart the series within the next few years."I'm not getting any younger. A couple of years," he said of how much longer he thinks he'll host the show. "You know what I'm really sensitive about? I'd rather leave a couple years too early than a couple years too late... I don't have a date in mind, but two, three [years], something like that."Sajak's reveal came just over a month after he underwent emergency surgery for a blocked intestine. He began to feel "excruciating" pain following a walk with his 24-year-old daughter, Maggie. Sajak and his wife, Lesly Brown, also share a 29-year-old son, Patrick."My daughter Maggie and I, we took a walk in the morning as we traditionally do early. And I came home ready to get ready to go to work. And suddenly I had this horrific pain in my stomach. And obviously didn't know what it [was], but within two and a half hours, I was in surgery," he recalled. "I mean it was that quick and that intense...You couldn't do anything. I was in the fetal position, lying on the bed.""So they try to give you various drugs for the pain. And none of it -- none -- was working. And then they gave me something, I couldn't even tell you the name of it, but suddenly, I wasn't thinking about the pain. I just had these beautiful pastels and lovely faces coming out of it," he continued. While in that state, Sajak heard his wife and daughter talking next to him, but, because "it sounded like they were a mile off," he thought he was near death."I remember thinking, not in a morbid way, 'I think this must be death. This must be what death is like,'" he said. "And all I thought of, hearing their voices, I thought, 'Boy, their lives are gonna change now.' And I felt badly for them. I didn't feel badly about dying. I felt badly that they were gonna have to deal with the aftermath."
