Vanna White bids an emotional farewell to Pat Sajak ahead of his final show

Vanna White delivered a heartfelt message to her “brother” Pat Sajak on the eve of his final episode of Wheel of Fortune.

The pre-taped messaged aired during Thursday night’s show.

“I can’t believe that tomorrow is our last show together,” White, 67, said in the clip. “I don’t know how to put into words what these past 41 years have meant to me, but I’m going to try.”

“Eight thousand episodes went by like that.”

The pair began hosting America’s Game together in 1982, when the show first aired in syndication.

They have become one of television’s most iconic duos.

“As the years have gone by, we’ve grown up on television, but we’ve also shared so much more behind the scenes,” she said as she reminisced about the pair’s more personal memories.

“What an incredible and unforgettable journey we’ve had. And I’ve enjoyed every minute of it with you,” White added, holding back tears. “You’re like a brother to me, and I consider you a true lifelong friend, who I will always adore. I love you, Pat.”

After the segment ended, the two shared a hug on the stage.

You can watch Vanna White’s entire message to Pat Sajak, 77, in the video below.

Although Sajak will be retiring from Wheel of Fortune, White will continue her job through at least the 2025-2026 season.

I will certainly miss Pat Sajak as the host, but I can’t wait to see what Ryan Seacrest brings to the show!

Please share if you’re going to miss Pat!
