I finally got around to watching my recording of Pat Sajak's final
"Wheel of Fortune" episode - his closing speech was classy, and the
episode/contestants were actually decent with the finalist winning $50k
off this final puzzle.

I watched this last Friday. I agree that Sajak went out with class. I
hadn't watched the show in a long time. I was surprised how few times
the big wheel was spun, even if they hadn't cut off a round so he could
say goodbye. Sajak simply added cash bonuses for the three contestants
early in the show.

Vanna said nothing on air.

 That's odd.

She was given time to give her good-bye speech the night before. The final episode was all Pat's.

I've thought over the years that if Sajak really wanted that talk show, he
shouldn't have tried for a bloated imitation of Johnny Carson but a low
key show like Dick Cavett.
