Vanna White shared a heartfelt farewell message to her “brother” Pat Sajak on the eve of his final Wheel of Fortune episode.
The pre-recorded message aired during Thursday night’s show.
“I can’t believe that tomorrow is our last show together,” White, 67, said in the clip. “It’s hard to put into words what these past 41 years have meant to me, but I’m going to try.”
“Eight thousand episodes flew by in the blink of an eye.”
The duo started hosting America’s Game together in 1982, when the show first began airing in syndication. Over the years, they have become one of television’s most iconic pairs.
“As the years have passed, we’ve grown up on television, but we’ve also shared so much more behind the scenes,” she said, reflecting on their personal moments.
“What an incredible and unforgettable journey we’ve had. I’ve cherished every minute with you,” White added, holding back tears. “You’re like a brother to me, and I consider you a true lifelong friend. I will always adore you. I love you, Pat.”
After the segment, the two shared a hug on stage.

Though Sajak is retiring from Wheel of Fortune, White will continue her role at least through the 2025-2026 season.
I will certainly miss Pat Sajak as the host, but I am excited to see what Ryan Seacrest will bring to the show!
