Vanna White shared a deeply emotional farewell message to her longtime co-host and dear friend, Pat Sajak, just before his final appearance on Wheel of Fortune.

The pre-recorded message was broadcast during Thursday night’s episode. White, 67, expressed her disbelief as she spoke to the camera, saying: “I can’t believe tomorrow will be our last show together”. She continued with a heartfelt reflection, adding: “It’s hard to find the words to describe what these 41 years have truly meant to me, but I’m going to try my best”.

In her message, White marveled at the immense journey they’ve been on, stating: “Eight thousand episodes have flown by in the blink of an eye”. White and Sajak first teamed up to host America’s Game in 1982 when the iconic show made its debut in syndication. Since then, they’ve become one of the most beloved pairs in television history.
