I was an NBC page two weeks laterIt was 1976 and I was 20, still in college and clueless. Now in its 90th year, the NBC Page program is one of the most prestigious entry-level positions in the entertainment industry. I wish I could tell you there was one straight, surefire way to becoming an NBC page, but there isn't. My other friend Al got his NBC page job when the women who worked behind the scenes on "Wheel of Fortune" spotted him as a contestant on the show. She is the author of "My Peacock Tale: Secrets of an NBC Page."

Regis Philbin, on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” was the loud, flashy host of a loud, flashy giveaway. And Pat Sajak, who announced on Monday that he would retire as the host of “Wheel of Fortune” after next season? Pat Sajak was … just there. There is nothing on Earth so still as the center of a spinning wheel. For over four decades, since taking over from Chuck Woolery, Sajak has been at that spot, joshing with Vanna White, heaving the wheel on final spins, wincing at Bankrupts and tethering exuberant winners.
