Pat Sajak, you'll truly be missed. Thank you for hosting for over 4 decades of Wheel of Fortune.

Incredibly funny genuine humble man. End of an era. Sad but happy he can just kick back now. Thank You Pat for years of laughter and excitement.

I'm a 90's Kid I would sometimes watch this with my parents. But I had to watch it last night

[officialSgtPepperArc]

I just want to put it this way: Sajak graduated from Wheel of Fortune.

[busfan]

He's a Vietnam vet and an American patriot

[A.Z-Town.]

Thank you Pat Sajak. You’re one of the greatest host of Wheel Of Fortune. It’s now Pat Sajak to write the next chapter of his life.

[teehasheestower]

This makes me feel old and I'm not even old.

Pat will be missed.
Always loved his suits.
Best dressed game show host.
On a ministers salary I could never afford to buy a great suit.
All the best with my prayers.

My farewell poem for Pat Sajak, that says what I want to say, from Clarence Day;

“Farewell, my friends, farewell, and hail; I am off to seek the Holy Grail, I cannot tell you why.

Remember me as I’m gone, t’was aspiration led me on. Tiddely widdley, toodle-loo, all I want is to stay with you. But here I go, goodbye.”

Keep the Faith, Pass the Peace,
Make the Magic, Share the Love,
Mr. Pat Sajak.

Thanks for the memories, Pat Sajak. Best of luck in your retirement. Best of luck to Ryan Seacrest as the new host of Wheel of Fortune.

It would be funny if ABC News included Joe trying to solve a Wheel Of Fortune puzzle with his response “A group of pill-pushers” with Pat responding right after “This is Wheel Of Fortune Joe!!!” 😂

[blind_t]

for the amazing solves, I was hoping they’d show the 2 puzzles, gopher, and tough workout.

[cameron_]

Then the puzzle board was updated in 1997 as a letter touching puzzle board.

It's a sad time in the era of game shows, the greats are stepping down and the replacements are.... lacking to say the least.

[mostafarah]

It is sad!
The game is famous all over the world: I have watched the French version when i was a little girl!!

[slapshot]

Imagine if Chuck Wollery got what he was asking for, history would hav changed

[RickyIcecubes]

As much as it pains me to say this, we need new game shows. Jeopardy is not the same without Alex and never will be again; WOF will never be the same without Pat.

[liemto]

China should organize a peace conference between Ukraine and Russia

I apologize for disturbing you 😊. I am not American, but I am very interested in the United States 🌎. I would like to understand the value of one dollar there, specifically what kinds of things can be purchased with it 💵. I realize that one dollar might not buy much, considering I have seen laptops on Amazon in the United States priced under 300 dollars 💻. Could someone please help me with this information? Your clarification would be appreciable. I apologize again for any inconvenience 🙏.
