WoF: Pat Sajak Schtick......

[Kevin Prather]

I recall one episode about two years ago where the answer to a $3k bonus question was blown by an audience member blurting it out. Pat seemed very jovial after the break, joking "Oh, wow. We had such a fun time pummeling that audience member.

Another one that sticks out from earlier in the season is when he and Vanna were sword fighting.

You mean he and stage manager John Lauderdale pillow fighting?

I also remember Pat operating the hand-held camera, as well as playing rock-paper-scissors with one of the contestants.

I'd like to see Pat play a PSP game (shameless self-promotion) next time, or maybe see him lounging in the hood of one of the cars.

I'd like to see him holding up cue cards, each bearing the name of another famous Pat, such as Kiernan, McGroin, Day, Finn, and of course O'Brien.

/Hey, if someone can come up with "Mike Litoris," why not "Patrick McGroin"?

It was probably just a prop from wherever props come from.  Probably explains the bottle and any other objects.

Crew member, can't remember his name. I know he gave Pat an umbrella at a taping last year.

No, doggonit. I'm referring to the instance where Pat and Vanna were sword fighting with gigantic keys.

My guess is that this statement was made so that the OP could Horan and show off that he knows the name of the WOF stage manager. What he sadly doesn't realize is that it impresses nobody.

(Except maybe Pat O'Brien. That guy's great.)

2.  Has anyone ever been to a taping, or heard of an incident where an audience member blurted out an answer, and a contestant heard it?? Or something similar?? Pat, on almost every show, is going ""Shhh, Shhh, audience very quiet please...shhh" Makes me think that audience members inadvertently shouting out the answer to a puzzle happens a lot.

The GSC 2004 Tour Group saw this when an audience member blurted out a puzzle at roughly the same time the contestant solved it.  The man in the audience had to plead with his life not to be summarily executed by the WOF staff.

It was also very interesting to see Pat turn stern and cold during the break.  When Pat Sajak is annoyed with you, you must REALLY have done something wrong.

The one that got me laughing earlier this week was when Pat was wearing a Kimono (similar to the one you see him wearing sometimes during a classic WOF clips montage). I also remember one, from some time back, where he was giving one of the contestants a massage. Either way, it's good for a snicker.

However, his funniest moments, to me, were when he did his speel (or however ya spell it) at Charlie O before the Jackpot Round from years back. You can't beat a good viagara espresso...

I enjoyed that, too. I kinda wish it had continued beyond the one season it was used, but I guess it got old.
