Current Events > Pat Sajak says goodbye to 'Wheel of Fortune'

(+) Yeah! (+)

Damn your validation meant everything to us

I know. Sorry to ruin your day (and possibly your life) but them's the breaks.

Alright, here comes at least 4 pages of back and forth. Time to hide this topic. My family and I enjoyed the many fun years of Wheel of Fortune.

I'm a big fan of the Triple Toss-up they added with the bonus if you get every single one. Fits the pace of the show much better than trying to force another puzzle and always having to do the final spin when it's already halfway solved.

so you just want to ignore that he is a bigoted piece of shit

Sometimes it's okay to just shut the fuck up.

You've needed to follow your own advice here many a time, including presently.

You're acting like the guy died or something. This is a game show host leaving his job to enjoy his retirement, that's it. And his toxic, bigoted, elitist views are fair game to bring up.

You know, every time you call me a name, it becomes less effective in the future. At this point, any time I see you saying "waahhhh Gob is bad person" I just laugh about it. May I ask what your goal is when you address me directly? Do you want something from me, or are you just taking shots because you have nothing better to do?

Where did I call you a name, Gobs? Find the post. Go on, I dare you.

You're remarkably salty about being called out for supporting a bigot and trying to downplay bigotry as just a "political view" but again that level of intellectual dishonesty is par for the course for ole Gobbles.

Some people get so whiny when we call out their problematic faves

It's impolite to try to force your opinion on people who clearly aren't interested in your opinion.

Times like this I wish Chris Hardwick hadn't been cancelled.

What did he get cancelled for? Im not going to lie I always disliked that guy for no real reason. Something about him seemed off.

Nah, I'm good. Nothing negative will happen because I'm speaking my mind right now. There is absolutely nothing you or any of the other haters in this topic can do to me.

Or his beloved washed up children's book author

I feel like you're not looking for a discussion at this point. Like people here are clearly focused on the fact that he's a long time game show host. Quite literally before most of us were born. That is certainly noteworthy.

Pointing out his bigoted views is perfectly fine, but like what direction do you expect all of this to go? Do you want to actually talk about something, or are you looking for argument?

Topic is a bit of a mess

here is the thing he should not be celebrated at all

he should have been fired years ago for his bigoted views

Yeah, sometimes people can't help but swarm in and share their unwanted opinions. It happens.

Okay. Fair opinion.

But you understand why people are nostalgic about the game show itself, right?

I'm afraid you have severely misunderstood my statement.

yes guess what i grew up watching it to

and i dont care nostalgia is a worthless toxic feeling

Just because you don't want to acknowledge that he's a bigot doesn't mean that people can't share that fact, Gobs. I know you struggle with things like that, so I'm just trying to help.

Why are you lying? Your sole purpose in this topic is to antagonize others and put people down. You already know you're not "trying to help" anyone.

Who are you trying to fool, here?

Jesus.

Legendary run tbh. He was doing this when I was a kid.

I've done nothing but state facts, and I'm trying to help you understand why supporting a bigot is bad.

Maybe we need to make you a picture book.

No. You aren't. You know you aren't.

So why are you lying?

Once you realize way too many people on CE will answer the last question with the exact wrong answer it becomes a lot easier to avoid the endless back and forth that tends to take place here.

Gobstoppers12 posted...

No. You aren't. You know you aren't.

So why are you lying?

I'm not. I genuinely want you to stop supporting bigots but it looks like you're a lost cause. Sad.

Just throwing it out there that topic derailment and sealioning are both forms of trolling and that it would be a shame if somebody who didn't have him blocked were to mark Gob's posts

You know, just as a hypothetical

Murphiroth posted...

I genuinely want you to stop supporting bigots

If you honestly think you're ever going to change my feelings in any way by acting in the manner in which you do, you have been wasting an awful lot of your own time for no benefit.

I truly hope you never sincerely thought you were going to convince me of anything, because if you did, that's truly regrettable. I'm apologizing to you, on your own behalf, for all the time you have forced yourself to waste.

You can stop now. I don't want or need your input = )

So, if you truly thought you were "helping me," then you can stop talking to me, because you aren't and you never were. But if you're actually coming at me for your own entertainment/self-fulfillment, then you'll keep doing it.

I guess we'll find out which one of us is actually telling the truth in the near future.

But he didn't "support" anyone lmao. Is he buying Pat Sajak a gift? Bankrolled his retirement? No. No one here is "supporting" him in any way.

just a reminder toon supported NFTs so you know how valuable his opinion is

AceMos posted...

Just a reminder that's a lie, I never supported nfts(much like no one here is supporting pat sajak) and have corrected you several times on this but you continue to try snd pull this card when you csnt actually argue what I'm saying.

TMOG was saying something about derailing, how is that not what you and Murphy have been doing this whole time?

this topic is just 1 example of you defending NFTs

AceMos posted...

For you, perhaps. That's also perfectly fine for you to feel that way. But isn't it also fine for people to feel nostalgic for a childhood show, even if the host of that show turned out to be bad?

He blocked me for pointing out two of his alts so nothing I can do there.

But I didnt defend them, and if fact say they are stupid many times. I just knew that some corporations. And some people would try to use them.

And now you've committed to completely derailing the topic over a two year old thread you aaved for some reason, that you didn't even glean the correct conclusions from.

All so that you can defend your position of antagonizing people for their non support of pat sajak.

Do you see the problem with how things play out like this?

no no it is not because at the end of the day you are propping up a bigot

nothing can change the fact he is a bigot he has used his wealth and influence to hurt ppl

Anyway, back on topic...Pat Sajak is one of the most iconic game show hosts of all time. He goes right up there with Richard Dawson, Alex Trebek, Bob Barker, Monty Hall, and Gene Rayburn.

AceMos posted...

You can't police other peoples feelings for someone neither of you know. Thats overstepping.

And no ones propping him up. He is not benefiting from anything happening in this thread. He is never going to see it or know it happened.

No one is proppsing up or supporting pat sajak here. Saying that pat sajak provided good entertainment for you as a kid is also not propping him up or supporting him. He can have undesirable stances and for that to still be true.

You guys need to stop making every single topic of discussion into some moral battleground. This stuff literally does not matter that much. You're on gamefaqs. This is not actually doing a good to anything, its just looking for an argument like the other guy said.

Umbreon posted...

He blocked me for pointing out two of his alts so nothing I can do there.

Please let me know who those alts are so I can block them as well

Umbreon posted...

They're long since closed.

He made two alts named Democratic_Hope and Republican_Woes. Both shows up on the same day and both start making topics. He even had the nerve to try to deny it before being called out.

Lord_Ephraim even found evidence that Humble was asking mods about making alt accounts.

Wait, you think Humble and Gob are the same person?

hm, just thinking about it, in this day and age, i would've thought wheel of fortune wouldn't last as long as pat sajak. but what do i know, i guess people still somehow watch it.

end of an era for sure, the future's strange

I think my brain just switched user around for some reason. LMAO that's a bit embarrassing.

Yeah no, I have no clue if gob has/had alts or not. My bad.

I followed the chain of quotes back to a source, and I can just go ahead and squash Umbreon's claim right here and now.

I have zero users blocked. Which means he must have me blocked. So he's straight up lying.

I don't have alts.

Hell of a run, hope he has a great time with his family and friends from here on out.

Same. A lot of my childhood was spent watching him with my late grandmother. 41 years is a good run. Apparently he'll still be doing some theater project in Hawaii. All these years of seeing guests win trips to Hawaii, the man now finally gets to go to Hawaii himself and enjoy himself.

It's funny because this was my first introduction to Pat Sajak. I had no idea who he was.
