Pat Sajak hosted his last episode of the popular TV Game Show Wheel of Fortune on June 7, 2024, after a 41-year run. Sajak, 77, has been the host of the widely-popular puzzle game show since it was on network daytime television in 1981. On the final episode of Season 41, he praised long-time co-host Vanna White, saying “Finally, to my professional other half, dear Vanna. Like me, she takes the show very seriously, but not herself.” Sajak and White have shared many memorable moments over the years. They won’t let Pat’s retirement keep them apart.
“While I’ll very much miss working with her, I take solace in the fact that we live about five miles apart, so we’ll see plenty of each other.”

While the Wheel Of Fortune will never be the same without long-time host and legend, Pat Sajak, he has other fish to fry. Although he is preparing and ready for the final spin to air, Pat had one leg out the door with his new gig already lined up before the season finale.
End Of An Era
Now that the final spin is about to air, it has been a week of memory lane for the Wheel Of Fortune cast. Admittedly, Pat Sajak knows it will be “okay” for him to move on from the life he’s known for more than four decades. Confessing to his daughter, Maggie Sajak, he says, “I’d rather leave a couple of years too early, than a couple of years too late.” Although he knows he could still give the show more time, he says there are some other things he would like to do in his life.

It was all just a game at first to Pat Sajak, but then it became something much more meaningful. The longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host’s final episode heading the game show airs in just a few hours — and the production has released a first look preview ahead of the broadcast, in which Sajak expresses gratitude to his audience.
“I have a few thanks and acknowledgements before I go. And I want to start with all of you watching out there,” Sajak begins in the footage, addressing the camera on the “Wheel of Fortune” set. “It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes, night after night, decade after decade. And I always felt that the privilege came with the responsibility to keep this daily half-hour a safe place for family fun. No social issues. No politics. Nothing embarrassing, I hope. Just a game. But gradually it became more than that.

Grand Knighthawk Infiltrating The KKK happens to be a tale that would fit very well in a season of something like American Crime Story. It’s a story that makes your blood boil and your skin crawl. A story about which you probably had barely any idea. The ABC News documentary Grand Knighthawk: Infiltrating the KKK can very well fit into all three categories quite neatly. KKK stands for Ku Klux Klan, the infamous and most notorious white supremacist organization in the United States of America. Most of you already know that, as I am assuming that you are reading this only after watching the documentary. In this article, we are going to summarize the whole thing and run an analysis of it.
