"From the big shoulder pads to the skimpy dresses, I've worn it all," she told Yahoo Life in 2022. "The designers send their latest clothes every year and I wear them. So it's really up to them. It's their style, and I'm modeling their clothes. So the pressure really isn't on me." (Gerardo Mora/Getty Images)

"I can't imagine. Everybody relates ‘Wheel of Fortune’ to Pat and Vanna. We're like Ken and Barbie, you know?" White said prior to Sajak's retirement announcement. "We've been in everybody's homes for 40 years, so it would be weird having somebody else turn my letters." (Eric McCandless/ABC via Getty Images)

Sajak announced in a post on X in June 2023 he will be leaving the show after its 41st season. (Ricky Middlesworth/ABC via Getty Images)

"Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last," he wrote. "It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. (If nothing else, it’ll keep the clickbait sites busy!)" (Christopher Willard/ABC via Getty Images)

"I can’t describe how I feel," White told TV Insider regarding the news. "I feel happy for him. I can’t imagine doing the show without him after 41 years. I sum it up as [like] reading a good book. It always has to end. This has been the best book I’ve ever read." (Christopher Willard/ABC via Getty Images)

Sajak's final show will air on June 7, after which Ryan Seacrest will take over. (Christopher Willard/ABC via Getty Images)
