On Thursday night, the program played the prerecorded message.

White, 67, remarked in the video, “It’s unbelievable that tomorrow is our last show together.” “I’m going to try, but I don’t know how to put into words what these past 41 years have meant to me.”

“In that manner, eight thousand episodes passed by.”

When America’s Game debuted in syndication in 1982, the two started hosting the show together.

They are now among the most recognizable pairs on television.

“We’ve grown up on television, but we’ve also shared so much more behind the scenes as the years have gone by,” she reminisced about the couple’s more intimate experiences.

What a remarkable and life-changing adventure we’ve had! And I’ve loved every second of spending time with you,” White said, fighting back tears. “You’re like a brother to me, and I will always adore you as a true lifelong friend.” Pat, I adore you.

The two hugged on stage as the program came to a close.

The video below is Vanna White’s full letter to Pat Sajak, 77.

White will stay on Wheel of Fortune until at least the 2025–2026 season, despite Sajak’s retirement.
