Cypress Sun Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Pat Sajak will retire from Wheel of Fortune tonight at 7:00pm (EST). He and Vanna White took over from Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford in 1982. Forty-two years. Wow. I never really like Sajak, especially in the last decade or so...always thought he was a smug smartass. Ryan Seacrest will assume the role and Vanna has agreed to stay on for a few years, for a "substantial" increase in her previous $3 million a year salary. I'll be watching. Wheel of Fortune began life in 1975. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to watch Jeopardy when Alex Trebek was the host. I don't watch it anymore directly because I don't like the host(s) and although the game is the same...it just isn't the same without Alex. I used to watch Wheel on occasion also but Sajak kept getting progressively more a AH as time went on and my interest waned. My gal still watches Wheel, I visit the Saloon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 One of the most boring game shows ever. Well at least that’s my humble opinion, What a gig Sajak had for all those years! I really think most anyone could do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I remember him as one of the weather guessers on local TV here in Nashville, many years ago. He wasn’t that good back then, either! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I do the same thing for free now...but I would do it on Wheel of a mere $7,000,000. Half price! Where do I sign? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 There's actually a lot of substance to the guy outside WOF. Watch some interviews and/or read some articles he's written.... Quote Sajak is a Republican, and has written a number of columns for the conservative magazine Human Events.[49] He is also a regular poster and podcast participant on the conservative blog Ricochet.com.[50] Sajak rejects the scientific consensus on climate change.[51][52] He is also a financial supporter of the Young America's Foundation, which sponsors conservative speakers on college campuses 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
