Pat Sajak Retirement, Wheel of Fortune and The Pat Sajak Show

Pat Sajak is retiring from "Wheel of Fortune" after 41 seasons. The hosts reflect on Sajak’s career, including his short-lived late-night talk show on CBS (1989-1990). Sajak had hoped to emulate the thoughtful style of Jack Parr, but the show failed to compete in an era that favored the high-energy comedy of Arsenio Hall and Johnny Carson.
