Wtf - no one can replace him. This is going to turn in to a hot mess. Pat has been kind of crotchety so I bet he needs a big break.

I was expecting this. For the last year or so they've been pushing him very hard to retire. He has a lot of knives in his back. Almost weekly stories published criticizing his interactions with guests and so forth.

Will Vanna stay?

Why doesn’t Vanna just host. Isn’t her role as a letter Turner model a bit dated.

Vana hosted a few years agao when Pat was incapacitated. It was awkward. Whatever one says about Pat, he is quick on his feet and has good rapport with the guests (mostly).

R28, yes, daytime version. Chuck Woolley hosted. Winning contestants would spend their “earnings” on crap features in a showcase. I still remember the ceramic leopards 🐆 and jewelry from Dicker and Dicker of Beverly Hills. Half the fun of watching g was seeing the cheesy shit that people were forced to choose from. Big favorite of Darfur Orphan, I believe.

Dicker and Dicker had a store on Robertson Boulevard in Beverly Hills. But it closed for good in February 2020.

No idea if Ms. Ickson ever patronized the place.

I think it was more than “crotchety”, he kind of snapped a bit at several contestants recently. I also think he had a lot of knives in his back, his Q score likely dipped too low for his people to renegotiate a higher contract, and the show already has a backup plan and showed him a graceful exit strategy..

Considering that Chuck Woolery was the original host, and then Pat Sajak, and both are raging right-wingers, the new host will probably be Antonio Sabato Jr., Dean Cain, or Scott Baio.

Once a year for many years, Pat Sajak came here to Hawaii for a few weeks to do a play with his BFF Joe Moore, the principal news anchor at KHON-TV in Honolulu. They've been friends for years and did this to keep their acting chops in working order. While Covid stopped the yearly outing, they're back in 2023. This year, they're doing Neil Simon's THE SUNSHINE BOYS

During college, I worked in a dive-ish bar that had tons of regulars and a TV behind the bar. Every evening, the regulars would watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. I realized how dumb the regulars were by watching them try to guess the phrase on Wheel of Fortune. They couldn't figure it out until pretty much all the consonants were in place.

When Jeopardy came on, the regulars thought I was a genius because I knew some of the answers, including the Final Jeopardy answer.
