Pat Sajak on "Today"?
vtown7:
Was flipping around this morning and found that there was a piece on NBC about Pat having some kind of surgery/injury/something or other, due to a contestant wrapping their legs around him.
Anyone have any info? Just curious, that's all.
Cheers,
Ryan :)
PeterMarshallFan:
I just saw it on MSNBC. The contestant, who won $48,000, is suing Pat for $2 million claiming Pat jumped on him and wrapped his legs around him after he won, injuring him.
Gus:
I saw that on FARK.com today.
Looky here. Pretty long story, actually.
vtown7:
Thanks for the link.
As if the contestant release forms weren't long enough... I'm guessing they're going to get longer!
Surely Pat has sustained some injuries from other contestants though too?
Cheers,
Ryan :)
(who anticipates that the late night talk crowd will have a field day with this)
Matt Ottinger:
My gut instinct is that this guy doesn't have much of a chance to collect a dime. Sony lawyers ought to be able to squash him like a bug. I'm sure, for example, that the contestant release covers ANY injury suffered while taping, regardless of how it happened. Proving that these particular injuries were the result of this particular five-second event three years ago will be tricky too.
Also, since when does Sajak spontaneously leap into a contestant's arms without reason? Especially since he LOST the bonus puzzle? That doesn't sound like something the notoriously laid-back host would do.
