Bannings: If you're not nice
We're long overdue for a general game show thread. I'll merge the old topics into this all-in-WAN thread at some future date. In the meantime, let's start with this news:

Pat Sajak to Retire as ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Host

Forty years of Pat and Vanna on "Wheel of Fortune." It hardly seems possible. I remember when "Wheel of Fortune" and Vanna White were all the rage in the 1980s.

With the recent stories of Sajak's bad temper towards contestants,you have to wonder if retirement was his idea or if he was nudged out.

Trust Bob not to spin the Big Wheel of Life over 100.

Rest easily, Bob. I hope you've won the Big Showcase.

I'm sure he's been ready. Riding out the remainder of his last contract.
