On Thursday night’s Wheel of Fortune episode, viewers saw a heartfelt pre-recorded message from Vanna White to her longtime co-host, Pat Sajak.
The 67-year-old White began, “I can’t believe that tomorrow is our last show together.” Her voice carried both gratitude and disbelief.
Reflecting on their decades-long partnership, she added, “I am not sure how to describe the significance of the last 41 years for me, but I will endeavor to do so.”
White noted that during their time together, they hosted the game show “eight thousand times,” building an enduring legacy in television history.
The pair began working together in 1982 when Wheel of Fortune entered syndication, and over the years, they became one of TV’s most recognizable duos.
Their easy chemistry, mutual respect, and shared humor kept millions of viewers tuning in for decades.
White affectionately referred to Sajak as her “brother,” emphasizing the deep bond they developed both on and off the set.
As Sajak prepares to leave, White’s words served as a touching tribute, marking the end of an era for “America’s Game.”
Fans are now preparing to say goodbye to a partnership that has defined Wheel of Fortune for more than four decades.
