Damn all the old game show hosts are counting their days.

I can't imagine a world without Pat Sajack and Alex Trebeck.

[hordak]

You thought he was 54? He looks older than my dad and he don't have 3" of makeup on and turns 80 next year....

Yep, Vanna still touches the monitors to reveal the letters though. Maybe they didn't replace her and changed the monitors remotely

Looked up Vanna's first appearance. Pat made a joke about creepy uncles to welcome her. So there's that.

He's a scumbag right wing nut so it's good he is recovering but he should retire

Her first host episode actually aired a couple nights ago. It was trending on twitter. A lot of people were attacking her for being awkward but she did pretty good for being nervous and was able to laugh at herself for looking at the wrong arrow and thinking she landed on bankrupt during the final spin 🤣

I read it as "Wheel of Time" so the second half of that headline was a trip.
