A Legendary Career
Pat Sajak, who turned 73 this year, has been a household name since he started hosting "Wheel of Fortune" in 1982. Earlier this year, he achieved another milestone by receiving the Guinness World Record for the "Longest Career as a Game Show Host of the Same Show." That’s an incredible achievement, and it speaks volumes about his dedication and charm. During his acceptance speech, Pat didn’t forget to give a special shout-out to his co-host, Vanna White, who has been by his side for decades.
“Thank you very much!” Pat gushed about Vanna on May 8. “I couldn’t have done it without you, kid.”
Vanna White: The Perfect Partner
Vanna also had nothing but kind words for Pat during an exclusive chat with Closer. “People at home see the chemistry between Pat and me,” she said. “We are like brother and sister, and I think that is what makes it work.”
She went on to emphasize just how special their relationship is. “We get along so well and are really best friends. We always have been,” Vanna continued. “I can’t imagine being up there with someone else.” Interestingly, she revealed that the two have only had one argument in 36 years, and “that was over putting ketchup on a hotdog.”
Luckily for fans, this iconic duo isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Both Pat and Vanna have renewed their contracts through 2022, ensuring that "Wheel of Fortune" will continue to be a beloved part of our TV lineups for years to come.
