How ridiculously easy is, and how did he luck into, his job?

He's had some good one liners on the rare occasions I watch Wheel. Showed some acting chops on Larry Sanders. Vanna's job is a billion times easier an I bet that she didn't make THAT much less than Pat did..

Surprises me, frankly. I do remember he was Ed Grimley's hero.

It certainly seems to come with job security since the show has been on the air forever.

At least Alex Trebek has to do a lot of reading and speaking and at times pronouncing foreign words.

It is legitimately the dream job. Dude even said he's done it drunk, lol.

No but I would love to do it. Work only about 7-8 months a year and get to travel to cool locations for free for your game show hosting job.

It's not easy to host a show like that. Have you seen a game show with a weak host? It totally throws off the vibe. Pat's got charisma and a great voice. I didn't realize how great his voice actually is until I heard him on a radio interview. He's an all-time great.

Apparently he stumbled into. Can't remember the exact story.

It's likely much harder than you think. Having contestants in the game, your coworker, all of your camera/production crew, a studio audience, and a TV audience at home all focusing directly on YOU, waiting on your instruction and to follow your lead...I know I wouldn't want to do that. But then again I don't do well in front of crowds.

Be that as it all may, it's an easily exhausted topic and I don't see much future for this thread. So....

Is a 4x television really worth the extra cost?

Thousands upon thousands of shows and stuff becomes second nature. Plus it's not live, and a studio audience understands if you flub something and have to go back and reshoot it.

Plus Sajak hooked a playboy centerfold on top of the gravy train job

I once attended a party at Vanna White's house. True story. My business had connections with Michael Kaye, her husband.

Why would you tell us a false story about Vanna White?
