Despite Wheel of Fortune’s Pat Sajak and Jeopardy Alex Trebek hinting about retiring soon, today we found out that that will not be happening for at least another four years. That is because Sony Television announced today that they renewed both of their contracts and Vanna White’s through 2022. Meaning they will not be going anywhere for a while.
Which is a good thing because their game shows are one of the few constants that we have and we need that in this mad mad world.
Pat Sajak has been pretty much been hosting Wheel of Fortune since 1991 and looks like the game show host is getting ready to retire. The 71-year-old tweeted this over the weekend, “Thinking ahead to retirement in a few years. Might be time to break out the Beanie Baby collection and cash in.”
Does it sound like he is ready to call it a day on one of the easiest jobs in Hollywood? If he does, then what will you do? Better yet, who should replace him?
More importantly are Beanie Babies worth anything because I got a few I could sell?
Yesterday on Wheel of Fortune, a contestant lost $7,100 because Jonny said the wrong word. Instead of saying “Flamenco Dance Lessons,” he said, “flamingo.” With that response, he went bankrupt on that puzzle for that mispronunciation.
While that was sad enough, what was funny was his expression as Pat Sajak told him he did not solve the puzzle. If looks could kill, Sajak would be dead right about now. Funk soul brother.
One thing we can all assume, Jonny will never ever take Flamenco dance lessons.
Vanna White is beginning her 35th season, yes 35th, of Wheel of Fortune, and yet the 60-year-old looks even more gorgeous now than she did in 1982. I need to know what her secret is? If it is turning letters around, than give me some letters ASAP because she looks like she won the grand prize of ageing.

The other day on Wheel of Fortune, almost all of the letters were turned around for a clue and Kevin was convinced he knew the answer. Instead of guessing the answer straight away, he went the greedy way and kept spinning the wheel. Finally, he was down to his final letter. A letter he got, oh so wrong.
Most people who know old Hollywood and Broadway plays, know the answer is A Streetcar Named Desire, but not Kevin. He thought the M was a K, and that would make it a whole different kind of story.
A title I am surprised that Pat Sajak didn’t say aloud because he has wicked sense of humor. This would’ve been something for him to have as much fun with as we are having.
What else is there to say, but, “Stttttteeeeeeelllllllaaaa!”
