Pat Sajak, host of Wheel of Fortune, has sparked controversy for a personal question to co-host Vanna White during a recent episode. Following a contestant’s win, Sajak, 75, asked White, 65, if she was an opera buff, leading to an awkward follow-up: “Have you ever watched opera in the buff? I’m just curious.” The studio audience reacted with groans, and White professionally shut down the line of questioning.
Social media ignited with discussions about the incident. One Twitter user questioned if it was a #MeToo moment, while others expressed discomfort. One person urged Sajak’s replacement, criticizing his inappropriate comments. Despite differing opinions on the appropriateness of the joke, it highlights the challenge of maintaining relevance for shows like Wheel of Fortune among diverse audience demographics.
