After asking a personal question to Vanna White, the long-time host of Wheel of Fortune, Pat Sajak, 75, has come under attack from the “woke” mob. During the Wednesday night episode, while they were hosting the program, Sajak asked Vanna White a personal question to which she responded with groans from the Wheel of Fortune studio audience. People at home, on the other hand, interpreted his sexually charged inquiry incorrectly and began berating Pat Sajak for interrupting Vanna White while they hosted the show.
After contestant Ashley Fabian, a professional opera singer, won $67,410 in cash and prizes during her appearance on the show, Sajak asked her whether she would consider being a radio host.
“Are you an opera buff at all?” Sajak asked White.
“Yes. I’m not a buff, but I like opera,” she replied.
“Have you ever watched opera in the buff? I’m just curious,” Sajak continued.
The audience responded with a few chuckles and a lot of complaints.
When she was done, Sajak just sat there. White remained polite while shutting him down. She made it clear to Sajak that he should not go down the line of questioning any further with a firm “no.”
The question of Sajak’s borderline harassing remark on the TV show sparked a heated debate on social media.
“I feel like I just witnessed a #metoo moment on Wheel of Fortune?” twitted one person.
“My wife and I looked at each other, and we were like, what did we just hear?” another asked.
“Did Pat Sajak just ask Vanna White if she watches the opera naked?” said another person.
“Dude is trying to keep the thrill alive for this job any way he can. I’m amazed he hasn’t resorted to torturing contestants during the show,” stated another one.
“I feel sorry for Vanna for having to stand there and smile through Pat’s ‘metoo’ comments. He thinks he’s funny, but he is totally inappropriate. Children watch this show and see this. He needs to go ASAP,” wrote on twitter a former fan.
“Wheel of Fortune, someone please replace this man. Pat Sajak is absolutely inappropriate in asking Vanna White if she’s watched opera naked? Are you serious? Gross,” said one angry fan.
“‘Have you ever watched opera in the buff?’ Pat Sajak (said) to Vanna White. When did this game show turn into Wheel of Fortune After Dark?” said another critic.
Sajak’s joke was thought to be unoriginal by one customer, as well as being inappropriate for a generation.
“Boomers are the target audience for this program. They think the behavior is funny & completely acceptable. Wheel is out of touch with the younger audiences & their views,” one woman commented.
“Not very appropriate and cringe? Yes…. Cancelable? No,” stated another person.
