Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek are in the same fam. We got Pat, along with the permanent and temp letter turners, Vanna White and Pat's daughter, Maggie, Thursday night in WeHo leaving Craig's.

Pat Sajak Drunk. In 2012, Sajak admitted that he and Vanna White used to get drunk before the taping of early Wheel of Fortune episodes. By then it was a different Show. He also added that their drink of choice was Margaritas. Pat is not bald and the hair he has is his very own. Pat Sajak Plastic Surgery. Pat Sajak and Vanna White are back with a new 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,' featuring stars playing for their favorite charities. White said it's a first for the long-running show.
If you're playing 'Wheel of Fortune,' you have to know which letters you want to choose.
However, for a new celebrity version, three letters — namely, ABC — did the choosing.
The network adds Pat Sajak and Vanna White to its roster of primetime game-show personalities as 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' launches a new Thursday slate of contests. (In the others, 'The View's' Sara Haines hosts 'The Chase,' and Craig Ferguson presides over 'The Hustler.') Even with stars taking the spins, 'Wheel of Fortune' remains the familiar game that's long been a syndication powerhouse, with the celebrity players donating their winnings to charities.
The game itself always is the ultimate 'star' of 'Wheel of Fortune,' though, and Sajak said, 'That's been part of my success, recognizing that. It's not ‘The Pat Sajak Show.' I may be the most charming and delightful host in the world — and I probably am! — but if there's no game, there's nothing there. You can't get in the way of it.'

Viewers 'want to see the puzzle and solve it,' said Sajak. 'Unlike most shows like ‘Jeopardy!,' the object is not to try to solve the puzzle first; it's to try to make some money (by picking as many individual letters as possible), so it's leisurely in that sense. The player's not trying to solve it instantly.'
That should remain the case as celebrities vie to win money for the organizations they designate. With the late Alex Trebek having hosted a playoff between 'Jeopardy!' champions in a special ABC series last winter, Sajak believes that 'greased the wheel a little bit' for the 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' order.
'It's a tricky business,' Sajak noted. 'The one thing you don't want to start doing is to overexpose the show. In some markets, you'll have a half-hour of (the syndicated) ‘Wheel of Fortune' followed by an hour of (the ABC) ‘Wheel of Fortune,' and I don't think you can do that too often without watering it down. But for a limited run like this, I think it's fine.'
Sajak appreciates the career longevity he's had thanks largely to 'Wheel of Fortune,' which he has hosted since 1981. His popularity was reaffirmed by the fan outpouring during his absence after emergency intestinal surgery in late 2019. (White moved over and filled in as host, and Sajak's country-singer daughter Maggie was a guest letter-turner.)
'What I take the greatest pride in personally,' Sajak said, 'is that it's very tough to be welcomed into a house for nearly 40 years. The fact that Vanna and I still are is the best thing I can say about it, from a talent or skill point of view.'

Tragedy in Burbank today after a three car accident on Highway 99took the lives of Wheel of Fortune host and his longtime sidekick, Vanna White.
The two were travelling together after a production meeting and were on their way back to studio when a completely bizarre and wholly unpredictable series of events ended in freeway chaos and the deaths of Sajak, White, and three others of no consequence as they lacked celebrity status.

Pat Sajak And Vanna White Then And Now
A truck carrying chicken coops swerved on an on-ramp to avoid a pair of iguanas that happened onto the freeway. This caused his cargo to escape, flying everywhere and obscuring driver vision. More cars swerved, crashing into each other left and right. One such was the vintage Pinto of Pet Sajak with his beautiful letter turner in the passenger seat.
That's actually all irrelevant as it was Sajak's choice of car that did him in when he hit a pylon, causing his defective vehicle to blow up in a massive fireball. Death for both was instantaneous.
The pair had bought the rights to 'Wheel of Fortune' in the 90's and kept it a roaring success. As a thank you to the efforts of President Trump for bringing back the America they loved, the show was left to him for his 2020 campaign.
