White reflected on their extraordinary 41-year journey, standing side by side through over 8,000 episodes since the show’s first syndicated broadcast in 1982. Together, they became household names, turning Wheel of Fortune into what many call “America’s Game” and a nightly tradition for millions of viewers.
Calling Sajak “the brother I never had,” White spoke of their bond—one built on trust, respect, and decades of shared memories both on and off the set.
For fans, the farewell is bittersweet. After more than four decades, saying goodbye to this iconic duo feels like the closing of a chapter in television history. For Vanna White, stepping onto the stage without Pat Sajak by her side will mark the start of an entirely new era.
