Pat Sajak: I Used To Host "Wheel of Fortune" Drunk



Wheel of Fortune was a little bit looser in the '80s. Host Pat Sajak recently admitted that he and Vanna White used to drink -- a lot -- before the filming the show. When asked by Dan Le Batard if he ever hosted the show while drunk, Pat admitted, "Yes. When I first started and was much younger and could tolerate those things. We had a different show then." Sajak, 65, revealed that they used to have a two-and-a-half hour dinner break, which he and Vanna would spend at a local Mexican restaurant drinking margaritas. He recalled, "Vanna and I would . . . have two or three or six and then come and do the last shows and have trouble recognizing the alphabet. I had a great time. I have no idea if the shows were any good, but no one said anything, so I guess I did okay." Sajak began hosting the game show in 1981 and White joined him a year later.
