Pat Sajak sure looked young as ever, when he used to do the weather, and when he first started hosting Wheel of Fortune, around that time. Less than a year later, Susan Stafford later left the show, and brought in Vanna White, where she actually began her stardom and her iconic job and clapping, a little over two years, after appearing on The Price is Right. Now comes Season 41, and Pat's final season as host (in which is a fine number to retire at), while Vanna White will still hold her position, for another two years, and Ryan Seacrest comes in as host- he's all over the place, but there we are. Pat Sajak, here's to you, after 41 incredible years, of hosting Wheel of Fortune. Like Chicago White Sox Organist, Nancy Faust, she retired at that same number, too, and she led a great life to music, like you did, to reading letters and puzzles. We shall miss you, dearly.

Oh Shit.....They took a commercial break in the middle of the 2nd round puzzle! That TOTALLY gives the advantage to the person who's turn it is. No way in hell Jim's not guessing this one correctly!....And (assuming I'm talking to him 43 years ago) lay off the ball-caps, buddy. A receding hairline at 16 is bad news..... On a much more serious and solemn note, it's truly incredible to see Pat on his first appearance. He seems truly gracious to be there, and extremely well suited for the job (minus the minor hyphen blunder at the beginning of round two that amounted to no issues anyway)....But he'll be missed. I was apparently 8 months old when this episode aired, which blows my mind..... Pat might just know the alphabet better than anyone else alive by now. *Also*...Amazing how many commercials there were back then. I keep thinking commercials have been out of control lately, but they were literally just as bad in 1981.
@toddmccreary4579 7 күн бұрын
The difference is minutes only six in this half hour broken up to two minutes at the most. I think later they got rid of that break in the middle of the game and made one longer. They were much more tolerable then because they were shorter even if they seemed too many. Now it's very fortunate to get just a two minute break at a time. Most are 3 or 4 minutes. Lifetime movie Network is the worst with about ten minutes of program and 4 or 5 minutes of commercials. Much worse today than then. You remind me of my cousins listening to the radio. When the commercial came on they changed the station. Now I wouldn't blame them. Radio prefers only two or three breaks an hour and 4 or five minutes of commercials unless it's a talk, sports or news station.

She was. She actually left both WOF and show business to become a humanitarian. But in 1986, she was nice enough to return to WOF for 2 weeks to fill in for Vanna who was on a leave of absence.

It’s actually 42 1/2 years since it is the daytime version that aired on NBC. The 41 years refers to just his time on the nighttime syndicated version.

Good thing Chuck left to work on his music 🎶 🤣 and acting career 😂. All those albums and movies were incredible! Of course, that didn’t occur - he put his tail between his legs after a couple years and came back to do “Scrabble” and “Love Connection” - which I’m sure cost him millions of dollars leaving this show. But then again, “Wheel of Fortune” probably doesn’t become the long term success w/o Pat. Who knows 🤷🏻♂️?
