I'll take Alex Trebek retiring for 100.

[Lingofan97]

Someone mentioned that when Alex decides to retire, Johnny Gilbert will also retire. It will also be the same for Vanna when Pat decides to retire. Alex and Johnny and Pat and Vanna are the modern day "Johnny and Ed" When one leaves the other one will leave also.

It would be weird if that were all to happen in the same year. I could see Pat lasting on WOF longer than Vanna.

And Ken Jennings should be the new host of Jeopardy!

[patnvanna83]

That would be interesting. I could see a female host of WOF, but Jeopardy? I don't know

as the main host or letter toucher?

and seriously i don't want Pat nor Vanna to ever retire from Wheel it just won't be the same without them.

[Lingofan97]

as the main host or letter toucher?

A woman as the main host would be good, but do we really need a letter toucher on WOF, or is Vanna just the "Shandi" of Wheel of Fortune?

But we DONT need a Vanna on WOF. The show could survive without.

It could be manually controlled. Back in the old days when someone needed to manually set up the board backstage and then needed someone to turn it, then we needed a co-host. But now it's not 100% needed, like Mikki on Catch 21.

yeah but the difference here is that but Mikki Padilla flips the Cards while Vanna White Turns/Touches letters.

On Catch 21 the cards could be turned electronically, but that could look cheap and as if GSN is cheating with it.

Bingo. Games like that need to be done with two people. Personally I think if anyone ever brought back TJW they'd need to utilize the 70s/80s setup. Watch the one from the 90s where the computerized version would stop between two and then an entirely different category or dollar amount whichever it was then would appear altogether. That would evoke all kinds of conspiracy theories now.

but mostly keep the format like it was in the 70s to the early 80s.

and by TJW i'm assuming you meant The Joker's Wild am i correct pzimm7778?

Thank you! I have someone agreeing with me on that. We don't need a Vanna but we need a Mikki from Catch 21, so they game doesn't look rigged.

What you say makes perfect sense. Games that involve a "chance" aspect need to have more of a human element to them. I don't gamble but if I did, was a regular at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino here, and went in with the goal to win and not just spend $20-30 and pass the time away I wouldn't play a slot machine that was computer generated. Sure, it may be checked out for regulatory reasons to ensure fairness but you'd always wonder how legit it is.

[pzimm7778]

Not to mention those claw machines I messed with as a kid and my son wants to do every time we see one are regulated too....and you know how big a ripoff and rigged those things are!

Speaking of gambling, I think it would be fun if Wheel of Fortune has more gambling come next season. All they have now I believe is the $10,000 slot which could also be a bankrupt slot. (50/50 shot)
