It’s Time for Pat and Vanna to Go

Pat Sajak admitted last week that he and Wheel of Fortune co-host Vanna White used to drink to nearly a drunken state during breaks in the taping of that show. He said he could sometimes barely read the letters on the board after returning for the taping of the next show. While Sajak said they no longer engage in that kind of behavior, he offered no apologies, nor did he seem to think there was anything wrong with what they did.

On almost any other job, showing up to work while nearly drunk would be grounds for dismissal. I don’t think two popular game show hosts should get any special treatment. Besides, the loyal viewers of Wheel of Fortune deserve better. Therefore, I say it is time for both of them to go. They should be replaced with people who have more respect for themselves, their careers, and their television audience.

It's time for them to hit it! I could never understand why he was so popular anyway.

Steve, I'm glad at least one person agrees with me on this. :-)
