[@lorihessler2977]

As Alex Trebek is to Jeopardy, Pat Sajak is to Wheel of Fortune. Thank you for 40+ years as host to a family favorite. Congratulations on your retirement Sir.

[@ddivincenzo1194]

Don't forget Bob Barker of TPIR!!!

[@lorihessler2977]

@@ddivincenzo1194 absolutely. An oversight, but TPIR isn't a game show I watch often

[@AllenHanPR]

@@lorihessler2977 So cause you dont watch it. means its not worth acknowledging?

[@lorihessler2977]

@@AllenHanPR I said it was an oversight. Perhaps you should read the entire comment, rather than pinpointing part of my comment

[@superpaul583]

Pat Sajak is the last of the remaining golden gameshow hosts that ever lived. R.I.P. Alex Trebek, Bob Barker Alex was the only gameshow host who passed away before he had his chance to retire to his house and family for his would-be remaining days...

[@toddshaw9441]

America will not be the same without Mr. Sajack, I'll always remember the good times in America and growing up watching Wheel of Fortune.

[@christen1709]

This will not be the same without you. You have been an icon for Americans and a an amazing person.

[@tjnyc]

Super sweet at the end!

[@alexthephotographer9314]

Omg so emotional. Wheel Of Fortune will never be the same with Pat. I do understand his retirement though. I mean, 40+ years. That’s a long time

[@Rose07013]

Pat is a legend for ever ☺️he will be missed by so many fans including myself 😃 don’t forget to watch him tonight in his final spin

[@oliverdeeley]

As emotional as the interview was, the best part and most hilarious one at that: Maggie asking her father on who is the driver for the drive home.

[@ThatMimiThing]

Since 1984? Really? That’s when I was born! I hope he has a nice rest of his life. He deserves it. ☺️

[@betelgeuseredstone9082]

This is so emotional.

[@marinhusky8863]

My mom loved game shows and this one quickly became one of her favorites! And as a kid, I could watch too since it came on at night unlike The Price is Right.

[@benmcdaniels1]

Man this is crazy I remember watching him with my grandma every week, she always went to WOF and we had to sit there quietly, no phones, nothing but a hot wheel and a red hot dog for a snack to keep us quite!!! Those were good times

[@GamingFanactic911]

My grandma watched it with me every week as well.

[@michaelpowell5266]

If he didn't decide to become a TV host, Pat Sajak would've given us the next day's weather forecast on The Weather Channel!!!

[@superpaul583]

He'll spin the sunny wheel as he solves the cloud puzzle. I'll be happy to buy a snowflake.

[@lindagunn3173]

I've watched Wheel of Fortune since the beginning. It's been a great time of games and more games. 😢 Pat will be solely missed. 😢

[@bradmccullough1437]

Not by me. I quit watching years ago when he continually acted rude and talked down to the contestants. Good riddance

[@fable9159]

@@bradmccullough1437what? He makes Wheel exciting! I guess you don’t understand he is trying to be funny

[@bradmccullough1437]

@fable9159 Most of the time it isn't funny.

[@GamingFanactic911]

​@@bradmccullough1437dude, he is not rude and he is funny regardless. Come on. Lol

[@SJHFoto]

I used to watch him as a kid with my parents-that was probably about 40 years ago! But what REALLY told me how old I am getting is that I seriously thought this video clip was a high school news production-those newscasters look SO YOUNG!!!

Eas"T"exas Respect 2 Mr Sajak...SO MANY OF US GREW UP WATCHING HE & MRS WHITE ENTERTAIN US ALL THOSE YEARS ...U WILL BE MISSED SIR ...THE SHOW WONT BE THE SAME

[@myathehappy_1]

We'll miss you but good for you! It's about time you live life to the fullest!

[@lucychan1875]

It's sad to let him go

[@aliciaguidry466]

God bless you pat big shoe to fill in His love God bless

[@janicecanfield9211]

I teared up watching Vannas last chat. Tonight will be the same. Happy Hillsdale, Pat.

[@tbone3972]

Ryan replacing Pat on the Wheel of Fortune is like Ken replacing Alex on Jeopardy. All fun must come to an end sometime. Happy retirement after 40 years. Maggie should take over the puzzle board after Vanna.

[@superpaul583]

Or Drew replacing Bob Barker on The Price is Right.

[@lucky1u]

I wish I had a job for that long, I'd have a house, a car, so many toys, so many vacations. I want a steady well paying job!😢 lucky guy

[@MrXNewsNetwork]

Awesome to see Sajack get his due. He deserves it. However, not a big fan of the nepotism.

[@nathanchamblee4882]

You were a great host, Pat Sajak. The audience is going to miss you.

[@Thatgayguytimo]

That show is a holdover from the golden age of TV production. The way they carry themselves, even the way the daughter is dressed for work being the social media girl… exudes class and sophistication! He will be missed!

[@stacystoltz8722]

💲💲💲💲💲💔

[@frankcross6958]

nobody will equal pat's charm and wit and humor certainly not seacrest, what a joke

[@gracelamson2008]

We need $100,000 Winner Before Pat Sajak Retirement Tonight

[@nanettemacy9376]

How long will Ryan Seacest last on this

[@marcpower4167]

That's my biggest concern with Ryan, he's ready got so much on his plate, When he tried to replace Micheal Strahan on Live, it was too much for him and he left after 3 years now I realize wheel has a much lighter schedule and he doesn't have to fly to New York but it's still a lot. I respect his work ethic but we're all human....

[@sshuffield70]

He will be fine. What he's doing now has been done before. That man was Dick Clark.

[@tomtermini1254]

Hopefully less than 1 year

[@moosejawn123]

Give Vanna the gig if she wants it!

[@justingantt9896]

Never Seacrest. TPIR was never the same without Bob, and the same goes for Wheel without Pat.

[@marysaade4343]

Just like Jeopardy I won’t watch it after the original host’s

[@GoryBlizzard]

So you stopped watching Jeopardy after Art Fleming and stopped watching Wheel of Fortune after Chuck Woolery?

[@GamingFanactic911]

I have been watching this show since I was like 4 years old. My grandma showed it to me, and I have loved it ever since. Pat is a legend. Thank you Pat. ❤❤🫂

[@brianjenkins3092]

I hope there are words on the wheel of fortune to describe your departure- so long is what many people might say or I would say who! PS do not rest like Alex

[@kevinluschak5241]

The only great thing seeing Vanna!

[@jamedlock83]

Who is the gorgeous Female News Anchor????????

[@kevinpatterson6732]

That's pat's daughter

[@brianjenkins3092]

One of the 40 reasons to leave the show - dizziness caused by 40 years of spinning. On the other hand , I would host the next 40 years-taking chicks-only spinning classes!

[@Mrcruisefever1]

That would of been of his daughter Maggie took over as the host / Instead of Ryan Seacreast ( pass the torch to his daughter Maggie )

[@johnwilburn]

Except that would have been pure failure.

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

Maybe Maggie will take over Vanna’s job when Vanna retires since Maggie already has experience doing the puzzle board from when Pat had to take time off for intestinal surgery a couple years ago and Vanna took his place at the wheel for the time being.

[@johnwilburn]

That I can see. Seems to be the plan.

[@edwesby5752]

I wish that Vanna had enough sense to retire also.

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

I hope Mayim Bialik replaces Patrick Sajak and Paris Hilton replaces Vanna White. Then again Tori Spelling might replace Vanna White.

[@brianjenkins3092]

After 40 years u lost control of the wheel, u better control ur sex drive otherwise someone calls & say 'hey Alex are u still up there'

[@buddyr3]

Are pat sajack and vanna white married?

[@jonathanhamiltonjrbigjohn2409]

They're co-workers and friends

[@danajames99]

No, they worked together and are friends.

[@nothx512]

So Vanna is not retiring 😂😂

[@marcpower4167]

For now she's staying. Wouldn't surprise me if she retires within 3 years.

[@munimathbypeterfelton6251]

She’s ten+ years younger than Pat.

[@kevinluschak5241]

Never really cared for the show!

[@southwestsearch]

There has to be a conflict of interest employing a family member on a show

[@RickyPaquiot284]

*Nope. I see nothing wrong with Maggie Sajak being with her dad. I hate when certain people say this to some degree. It's rude.*

[@Aussie_Hawaiian_boy]

I’m glad he’s retiring. He makes too many mistakes he body search and pat down contestants and that’s not his job

[@Pinkielover]

No one cares
