"When I first started and was much younger and could tolerate those things ... We had a different show then. You didn’t win money, you won fake money with which you could buy cheesy prices. A turntable would go around and housewives from Teaneck would say, 'uhhh for a $100 I’ll have the lamp. No, I’ll have the ... ' It was the most boring two minutes of television. But because we had all those prizes, we had endless time between shows. Our dinner breaks would be two-and-a-half hours long while they drove in new cars and boats and gazebos and stuff. At NBC at Burbank we had a place called Los Arco’s across the street, which is Spanish, as you know, for the Arcos ... and they served great margaritas. Me and Vanna [White] would go across and have two or three or six, and then come and do the last shows, and have trouble recognizing the alphabet. They’re really good tapes to get a hold of."

"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. Now if I were to inhale the cork in a bottle of wine I’d keel over, I’m getting a little older. I would be hesitant to have anything to drink. Although I’m hammered at this moment."

I always wondered about him and Vanna and if he ever tagged that. She was the bomb for a while there in
the 1980's. She still isn't too bad..... yes, I likely would.. ( holy shit she turns 55 in less than a month )

I have no doubt he and Vanna took a few spins on the wheel when the lights went down.

Do you think he....bought a vowel?



I'm not really sure what we're talking about. I just don't want to feel left out.

Sajak and Vanna used to get wasted during tapings.

How he didn't get a DUI for being drunk behind the wheel, I'll never know.




Totally took that from one of the comments on the original link

I think he spun the wheel on Vanna and came up Bankrupt.

He would have told everyone by now....obviously

RPB, please get an avatar, you do not look right. Thanks.

I dunno about that. Maybe he still gets a free spin from time to time as long as he keeps his mouth shut.

Maybe he got a free spin and is saving it for later.
