how was Wheel of Fortune not parodied by SNL for its first 30 years?
Until recently, there wasn\'t much that lent itself to parody. Jeopardy 1999 and Celebrity Jeopardy got their humor from making jokes about the future and stupid celebrities, respectively. Family Feud sketches were all, at some level, character-based. It was a reference point several times, though. Ed Grimley, Jr., mentioned above, was a huge fan of WoF. We saw him audition for the show, and we saw him on a trip that he won in his appearance. After that, he fought off the Devil with a picture of Pat. The Devil, played by Jon Lovitz, said, \"No, not Pat Sajak! I couldn\'t find a more perfect fellow, I must say!\" Later, when some underwear ads that Vanna had done before WoF appeared in Playboy, Dennis Miller showed the letters \"T_TS\" and \"_SS\" and added, \"For $250, you can buy a vowel.\"
