It's true that Pat Sajak still hosts Wheel of Fortune, but when the daytime version existed, in 1989 (I believe it was early that year), he was replaced in the daytime version only by Rolf Bernirschke (I may have misspelled the last name). Could you update it please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.200.116.197 ( talk) 19:55, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
This was an April 1st episode, let's remember. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmbjspd ( talk • contribs) 23:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Anyone know what the reasoning is with the alternate speling Sajdak? Just saw it as part of "E! True Hollywood Story" on "Wheel of Fortune". Typo or legitimate birthname and the D was omitted for some reason (without a source, my guess is for ease of pronounication?) Dwp49423 18:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I've read several places that his birth name is "Sajdak." I don't know whether he's legally changed it to "Sajak," or whether the better-known spelling is just a stage name. JTRH 15:36, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
Pat's birthname was indeed spelled "Sajdak"; he legally changed the spelling to match his stage name after he became successful. This is mentioned in various cites already cited in this article. Arxiloxos ( talk) 06:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
I was watching reruns of Super Password, and on an All-Star Special, he was actually playing it.

Since Wikipedia is not to include unverifiable content (see Attribution), I've removed the paragraph about "unsubstantiated" rumors that Sajak has a hidden ponytail. -- Adavidb 10:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
"Some people have suggested that Sajak's politcal commentary lacks credibility because he is a game show host."
I removed this crap because it's weasel words, pure and simple.

I beg your pardon but I'm italian and Wheel of Fortune is hosted here by Mike Bongiorno... but about baldness? Bongiorno too was always doubt do be bald -- Watcheach ( talk) 09:56, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
I don't think so. Hard to believe he still has black hair at the age of 60. -- 4.85.129.14 03:29, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
"However, Fred Silverman, then head of NBC daytime programming, rejected his hiring, claiming he was "too local", and Merv responded by imposing a moratorium on new tapings until Sajak was hired." Merv's autobiography claims this, but given Woolery left in December of that year, and I'm pretty sure Silverman was gone from NBC before that, I have my doubts.

Wheel of Fortune only selects male contestants who are shorter than average, and taller height automatically disqualifies potential contestants. My wonder is whether this preference comes from the network or from Pat himself, who is, at best, only 5'10". Wheel of Fortune only picks short contestants.
(I was disqualified at a contestant try-out due to my height, and I'm only slightly tall at exactly 6'.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.157.20.151 ( talk) 23:13, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
While working on Category:Climate change skeptics, I noticed that this article has been added to that category, yet there is no mention in the prose of this article that this article's subject is considered a climate change skeptic (complete with reliable sources). A quick online check showed that reliable sources do exist showing this to be the case. Please add this to the prose to this article or delete the category from this article.
