The “Wheel of Fortune” wasn’t the only thing spinning for Pat Sajak and Vanna White back in the day.
Sajak said in an interview on ESPN2 this week that the longtime game show team occasionally would walk over to a nearby restaurant for “two or three or six” margaritas during a break in taping early “Wheel of Fortune” shows in California. They would “have trouble recognizing the alphabet” during the tapings that followed, he said
“I have no idea if the shows were any good,” Sajak said, “but no one said anything, so I guess I did OK.”
Now that he’s older, Sajak said he couldn’t do that anymore.
Sajak, a Farragut High School and Columbia College alum, has hosted the show since 1981, and White joined him a year later.
