What ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Fans Miss About Retired Host Pat Sajak
After a host of criticism, Wheel of Fortune fans have been coming around to supporting Ryan Seacrest as the new host.
However, that doesn’t mean they don’t miss longtime host Pat Sajak, who retired in June after 41 years of hosting the game show. Fans took to the Wheel of Fortune subreddit on Wednesday, December 11 to reflect on what they’re “missing most about Pat.”
The original poster made sure to credit Seacrest — who took over as host at the beginning of season 42 in September — as “a great replacement,” before praising Sajak for one of his go-to jokes.
The reddit user missed Sajak, 78, joking after a contestant would say “I’ll take it,” regarding their total prize winnings, by responding, “You have to, it’s in the rules.”
Others chimed in, agreeing that they miss “Pat’s sense of humor,” with one poster writing, “Those corny jokes always cracked me up!”
