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.
