A Contestant’s Stunning Confession About Vanna White’s Backstage History Sends Shockwaves Through the Studio – Even Ryan Seacrest Was Floored!

A WHEEL of Fortune contestant has revealed that Pat Sajak and Vanna White crashed her honeymoon, and her husband nearly crashed into Vanna.

The hilarious and sweet moment comes as the duo’s long time together is ending and Pat, 77, is retiring on June 7, 2024.

Pat kicked things off on Tuesday night by interviewing the mom-of-two and asked, “Now Vanna and I were on your honeymoon?”

The broadcast cut to Vanna, 66, who threw up her arms and looked caught off-guard, unsure what was coming.

The contestant explained that their honeymoon coincidentally came as the iconic duo was filming a commercial spot.

She said, “So when my husband and I went on our honeymoon, you guys were filming promos there.

“So we watched you film by the pool, on the beach, and even one night we were having dinner.

“I excused myself from the table, and when I came back, my husband told me, ‘I nearly walked into Vanna. And I had no idea.’”

Pat replied, laughing, “Well there you go, I’m glad we could be a part of your honeymoon, and I’m sorry about knocking on the wall the way I did.”

Laura went to the bonus round with the highest score of $38,030, a trip to the Caribbean, and was joined by her husband offsides, whom Pat called “my old friend.”

Laura could not solve the tough puzzle as “Whirwild Year,” but Pat admitted the $40,000 bonus prize she missed out on was nearly equal to what she won.

PAT’S WRAPPED FILMING

Meanwhile, Pat has not only set his last day as host but taped his farewell episode, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.

He will bid farewell to the masses at the end of Season 41 on Friday, June 7, 2024.

But a rep for Wheel of Fortune exclusively confirmed to The U.S. Sun that Pat has filmed his last slate of six episodes on April 5, 2024.

This includes his final episode, fittingly titled “Thanks For The Memories,” and is already filmed, the show exclusively shared.

That means Pat is done hosting the show and the episodes fans are seeing come as he’s already retired.

The episode will be a TV milestone as the host has doled out puzzles and prizes alongside Vanna White, 66, since 1981 and 1982 respectively.

The show did not share if Pat’s farewell episode will be an all-out tribute with memories from over the years or simply a normal game ending with him saying goodbye.

Tickets for Pat’s penultimate five episodes were opened to the public at the last minute, while his farewell episode was reportedly not open to the public and was invite only.

Pat announced in spring of 2023 that he’d be leaving the iconic game show and that Season 41 would be his last.

Shortly after, Ryan Seacrest announced on Instagram that he would replace Pat as the new host come fall 2024.

Vanna will be joining Ryan for at least his first two seasons as host under her new contract.

The show airs weekdays at 7:30 pm ET on ABC, so fans can catch his sendoff on June 7 at that time.
