Here is part of daughter Maggie's exclusive interview series with Pat, Thanks For The Memories, in honor of her dad's final week as host of Wheel of Fortune. You won't want to miss it: There are a few tears and, if you know Pat, more than a few laughs. 41 seasons and 8,000+ episodes went by just like that!
Following is a video that looks back at Pat's life from his start of hosting til today. Part 3 touches on things we never knew, like Pat Sajak as a father balancing family and career.
Enjoy!
