tweeted on X, announcing his retirement in June. “I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last.

It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. (If nothing else, it’ll keep the clickbait sites busy!)”While Sajak and his letter turning colleague Vanna White, 66, have helped “Wheel of Fortune” become one of the most successful game shows in history, drawing in more than 26 million viewers per week, according to Sony Pictures Television, throughout his tenure the legend’s onscreen antics have occasionally left viewers quite puzzled and perplexed.Before he says goodbye and is replaced by a very eager Ryan Seacrest, here’s a look back at the times Sajak’s actions left fans bankrupt for words.Fans went ape when Sajak accepted the answer to one game show puzzle.In October 2023, contestant Nadine Cedro of Toms River, New Jersey, was poised to answer the crossword puzzle in which the four separate word answers were all the second half of a compound word that began with “butter.”Before she answered, Sajak reminded Cedro of the rules.“Don’t say anything, don’t add anything,” he warned. “Go ahead.”Cedro then proceeded to seemingly say “fly,” “fingers,” “bean,” and “nuts” — but the right answers were “fly,” “fingers,” “bean,” and “nut.” Despite adding an “S” to nuts, Sajak accepted the answer as correct, driving fans nuts.“She said ‘nuts’, not ‘nut,’” one fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
