The beloved host responded, "That Pat Sajak was still hosting Wheel of Fortune." Fans reacted to Sajak’s comments and praised the game show host.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic In my earliest years, the evening didn’t end until Vanna White said good night. I was in one of the parts of America where “Wheel of Fortune” comes on after “Jeopardy!” (the only proper order — a roughage-filled meal, then dessert). And I’d insist on staying up past the last ad break to hear the chat between White and “Wheel” host Pat Sajak for 45 seconds or so, wrapping on a sincere-sounding sendoff that gave me the all-clear to trundle up the stairs. Why did I have to wait for the last moments with Vanna? Well, part of it was a child’s literalism: she hadn’t said good night, so it wasn’t yet that time. But part, too, was an attempt to wring out every last moment of White’s particular charm from “Wheel’s” half-hour. White — perhaps even more than Sajak, a consummate emcee of the old school — seemed to represent in one person what “Wheel” was all about. A model for an endless array of spectacular gowns and an ornament on a show whose gameplay didn’t strictly require a letter-turner as technology improved, she represented all the glamour and luxurious promise of cash prizes, free vacations and the gilded sunlight of California. And yet presenting in complete earnest, from her glee or sorrow for a contestant who won the game or who bought the wrong vowel to her utter commitment to trading pleasantries with Sajak, she was a fabulous contradiction — a quintessentially middle-American celebrity.

Vanna White isn’t impressed with how Wheel of Fortune is shaping up post-Pat Sajak.

The 66-year-old “Wheel of Fortune” letter-tumbler reportedly feels like the producers have a “lack of respect” for her.A source told the Daily Mail that the game show bosses also think she’s “replaceable.”The news comes just weeks after host Pat Sajak announced his retirement after over 40 years.Ryan Seacrest was quickly announced as the replacement for Sajak, 76, which apparently led to some skepticism on White’s part.The insider alleged that she feels “disappointed” because the show’s heads “didn’t give her more of a chance to take over Pat’s job, or that she wasn’t able to give her two cents on the replacement.”White seemed to be blindsided by Seacrest’s host announcement.However, she still “respects” the “American Idol” alum, 48, and is “happy to work with him.”“But it just shows a lack of respect in her eyes that they have for her,” the source claimed.

wheel-y grateful for his time on “Wheel of Fortune” — even though Ryan Seacrest is taking his place soon.On Thursday, Sajak, 76, paid tribute to Merv Griffin, the creator of “Wheel of Fortune,” on what would have been his birthday, and thanked the presenter for taking a chance on him all those years ago.“Merv Griffin, the creator of ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ was born on this date in 1925,” Sajak wrote on Twitter.“I owe the man so much,” the message continued. “He absolutely defied network executives by insisting on hiring an unknown local TV weatherman to take over his show in 1981.
