Vanna White wished “Wheel of Fortune” co-host Pat Sajak an emotional farewell this week in a clip set to air on the show Thursday, the eve of Sajak’s final episode.
Sajak, who announced he would be leaving the show last year, will host his final round on Friday, June 7. Next season, Ryan Seacrest will take over the esteemed role of host, while White will stay on board.
“I can’t believe that tomorrow is our last show together,” White said in the clip Thursday. “I don’t know how to put into words what these past 41 years have meant to me, but I’m going to try.”
Sajak has hosted “Wheel of Fortune” for 43 years, since 1981. Sajak and White, who joined the show in 1982, have worked together on upwards of 8,000 episodes over the years.
