Vanna White is bidding her pal farewell.
Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak is starring in his final episode of the game show on Friday after an impressive 41 seasons, and his co-host just delivered the sweetest speech! In a YouTube video released ahead of Pat’s last ep, Vanna said:
Grab your tissues!

Pat started hosting the show in 1981 and was joined by Vanna the following year. They’ve since graced televisions worldwide together for more than 8,000 episodes! Incredible! Reflecting on the start, the 67-year-old said:
Awww!!
She continued:
Vanna is mom to Nikko Santo Pietro and Gigi Santo Pietro with her ex-husband George Santo Pietro. Pat and his wife Lesly Brown share children Patrick Michael James Sajak and Maggie Sajak. The clip showed photos of both families as the TV personality continued:
While she’s sad to see the 77-year-old leave the show, she knows this isn’t the end of their friendship, adding:
She blew a kiss to the screen, and then the pair were seen hugging after watching the clip together. Ch-ch-check it out!
There’s so much history between them! Love knowing they’re as close off-screen as they are on! Wheel of Fortune won’t be the same without Pat! BTW, Ryan Seacrest is set to fill his shoes, and Vanna has closed a deal to stay on through at least the 2025-2026 season. So, the show isn’t ending, but it’s certainly the end of an iconic era! Thoughts? Let us know (below)!
