Vanna White shared an emotional message for her longtime co-host Pat Sajak ahead of his final episode of Wheel of Fortune. The pre-recorded tribute aired during Thursday night’s show, marking the end of an era after more than four decades together on television.
“I can’t believe tomorrow is our last show together,” White said, visibly emotional. She reflected on their incredible journey, admitting it was difficult to fully express what 41 years had meant to her. “Eight thousand episodes went by just like that,” she added, capturing how quickly time had passed.
The duo first began hosting the beloved game show in 1982, when it entered national syndication. Over the years, they became one of television’s most iconic partnerships, bringing consistency, warmth, and familiarity to millions of viewers.
White described Sajak not only as a colleague but as a close friend, even calling him her “brother.” As his final episode approaches, fans and colleagues alike are honoring the legacy they built together on one of America’s most enduring shows.
