Pat Sajak Makes Us All Cry With Emotional Tribute To ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Co-Host Vanna White In His Final Episode: “We’ve Always Been There For Each Other”
Wheel of Fortune viewers got a special backstage look at what happens behind that iconic puzzle board.
Maggie Sajak, Pat Sajak‘s daughter who works as a social media correspondent for the show, shared a fun video in which she, her father and Vanna White gave fans a tour of Wheel‘s backstage area.
“So I’m behind the puzzle board and look who I found!” Maggie says as she pans the camera to give a glimpse of the control room, where her father happens to be hanging out.
“It looks like an election headquarters back here, I see the screens and everything,” Pat jokes. “I think I see some anchormen.”
After Maggie explains that the fans have been asking for a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes, Pat jokes, “Well we can’t show a lot because there are certain things that are highly classified.”
Per Pat’s suggestion, they then show a stand of water bottles labeled “Pat’s water.”
“They gave me enough to last me the rest of the season,” he jokes.
White also gave her own mini backstage tour in another video shared by Maggie on social media, in which the longtime Wheel co-host shared what she likes to keep backstage.
“They used to bring cookies. They used to bring chips. They used to bring all the bad snacks, and I used to eat them,” White says in the video. “I said, do not bring them anymore.”
These sweet videos come just ahead of Pat’s final days on Wheel of Fortune as Season 41 comes to an end on June 7. The longtime host, who has been on the show since 1981, will soon be replaced by Ryan Seacrest.
However, White will be staying on as co-host through the 2025-2026 season. And she’ll definitely have a thing or two to show Seacrest.
“I can’t wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White,” Seacrest said in a statement.
Pat’s last Wheel of Fortune episode airs Friday, June 7.
