PAT Sajak's penultimate Wheel of Fortune episode was filled with tears as Vanna White stunned the host with the most moving video message. Pat's final week as host is fittingly titled "Thanks For The Memories," and Thursday marked his second-to-last show ever. Tonight, Vanna , 67, delivered an emotional message for Pat , 77, and the Wheel of Fortune audience.
It came one night before his final broadcast as host after 41 years together. First, contestant Hannah had a big win - she went to the bonus round with a trip to Africa and $31,000, choosing "What Are You Doing?" She aced the "Jotting down ideas" puzzle, winning $75,000 and a burst of confetti, a perfect penultimate moment for Pat. Pat then told viewers that Vanna had something prepared - and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
The broadcast cut to Vanna saying goodbye as she cried in an incredible pre-taped video . "I can't believe tomorrow is our last show together," Vanna said, forcing a smile. "I don't know how to put into words what these last 41 years have meant to me.
But I'm going to try. "Eight thousand episodes went by like that. "You made me feel so comfortable, so confident," said Vanna, who has become a letter-turning legend.
"You made me who I am. You really did." "We've laughed, we've cried, we've celebrated- oh gosh.
What an incredible and unforgettable journey we've had. Vanna added, holding back tears. "And I've enjoyed every minute of it with you.
" She took a deep breath and continued as her eyes well.
