Sajak to End Fox News Talker
By Kim McAvoy -- Broadcasting & Cable, 10/3/2003 5:45:00 PM

Fox News Channel and Pat Sajak have mutually agreed to end his weekend one-hour talk show.

An announcement is expected Sunday, which is also expected to be his last original broadcast.

The appropriately named Pat Sajak Weekend had aired Sundays at 9 p.m. and again Mondays at midnight.

Who wants to bet that the \"mutual agreement\" came about after Fox offered to pay Sajak extra if he says nothing but nice things about his Fox News experience?

I guess we'll have Rolf Bernischke weekend now.

  Good for Pat. it was probably a pain in the ass to have to be in New York every weekend to tape this thing anyway. At least now he has his weekends free......like every good game show host should!  :-)

Although I wished Pat the best, from what I saw of the show, it just couldn't work. Pat's a much better conversationalist (is that a word?) than he is an interviewer, and I don't want to watch two people have a conversation for a half hour that I'm not a part of.

 As if he doesn't get enough time off during the year as it is.

He works something like 38 days a year.
