Because, God forbid someone makes a spelling error. I mean, yeah, the writer should've done some quick copy editing, but cut the guy (or girl) some slack.
I'd honestly give them slack considering Sajak isn't a common name.
-
Eh, I wouldn't. Unless the writer personally knows someone named Sajack, then that ought to ping as an uncommon name, and a 30-second visit to, say, wheeloffortune.com is in order.

I'm just wondering how long Vanna will be kept around. Sooner or later, there's going to be the pressure to get someone young and hawt in her place.

I wouldn't be surprised if Sony already has Shandi's name on the back burner. She'd be the perfect fit for that show!

I had Claudia Jordan in mind myself. Or Vida Guerra. Or that hot chick at b-dubs.

[/quote]
That's choice! Next time I'm up in the North Coast and the sound goes away for that half-second, I will say, "There goes Angely's Blackout button again!".
You see, friends? The game show connections are everywhere!
By the way, Blackout's anniversary is tomorrow. In its honor, a moment of silence. Fitting for that show, hmm?
Swinging this all the way back to topic, Blackout host Bob Goen hosted Wheel Of Fortune for two years.

It's better than my idea of a moment of unconsciousness.

This way, if Pat leaves and Chuck comes back, we'll have a Lingo reunion.
Then the new catch phrase will be, "Sajak left Wheel".

Somehow I think Vanna's replacement is already named. Her name is Automatic Display

Honestly, if they didn't have an HPOA to look at during wide shots of the board, that would be the beginning of the end of the show.
-
Vanna will be there forever and justifiably. She's sorta like Susan Lucci or Genie Francis in that her fans will always see her as being young.
My question is will Pat eclipse Bob Barker for one-show hosting longevity??

He'd have to hang in there for another ten seasons. Considering what he's said in the past about renewing his contract, if Pat is still hosting Wheel at the age of 70, I will be amazed.
-
So, what's the over/under on:
A. The retirement of Pat or Alex?
B. How long actually elapses between the first "Who should replace Pat/Alex?" thread and the actual announcement?

Good news: The typo is fixed.
