Ex-NFL player hilariously fails on easy chance to win ‘Wheel of Fortune’ puzzle: ‘You know the rules of the game?’Pat Sajak bluntly tells ‘Wheel of Fortune’ contestant he didn’t have ‘any chance’ at winning
“Now a lot of people, especially young people, are kind of afraid of poetry,” Sajak, 77, said at the beginning of the episode as he got to know the contestants. “It’s a little daunting. But you do spoken word stuff?” She continued, “Thank you, Pat, for all you’ve done over these last 41 years. The smiles, the jokes, the laughs, the cheers. Congrats on your retirement. We’ll miss you when you’re gone. Just do me one favor before you go and help me bring this money home.”The crowd — and White — applauded Royal-Fortune’s performance while Sajak seemingly had no reaction.
Royal-Fortune went on to fulfill her wish. She ended up solving the final puzzle round with the phrase “kicking things off” — earning her a bonus $50,000 prize.Sajak announced his retirement last September. His final show will come in 2024, and Ryan Seacrest, 48, will be his successor.Police 'doing due diligence' in manhunt for Maine shooting suspect
