Title: Nice Pat Sajak interview
Post by: Matt Ottinger on June 28, 2012, 08:22:32 PM

In the grand tradition of those 60s and 70s game show hosts who were actors at heart and hit the road to do summer stock, Pat Sajak has begun a three-week run as Felix Unger in a Connecticut production of The Odd Couple. Here (http://"http://www.theatermania.com/connecticut-theater/news/06-2012/interview-pat-sajak-takes-the-odd-couple-for-a-spi_58519.html"), he talks about the role, the future of Wheel of Fortune, and why Vanna isn't in the play with him.

Interesting. Had no idea Pat not only had acting experience, but 10 years worth; he always seemed like he had more of a broadcasting background, as opposed to acting (like Gene Rayburn, Peter Marshall, or--yes--John Davidson).  Also nice to see that he doesn't view such a thing as summerstock to be "beneath" him.

/And anyone who saw Goddess of Love knows that asking Vanna to act is not a good idea.

I'm so mad it's sold out. He's performing an hour away from me -- I would have loved to see it.
