It's true that Pat Sajak still hosts Wheel of Fortune, but when the daytime version existed, in 1989 (I believe it was early that year), he was replaced in the daytime version only by Rolf Bernirschke (I may have misspelled the last name). Could you update it please?

Yes, Rolf replaced Sajak. Producer Mev Griffin's first choice of Jimmy Connors but NBC snatched him up for the sports department. (according to E!: True Hollywood Story-Wheel of Fortune.)

[edit] April 1 episode

This was an April 1st episode, let's remember. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmbjspd (talk • contribs) 23:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sajak or Sajdak

Anyone know what the reasoning is with the alternate speling Sajdak? Just saw it as part of "E! True Hollywood Story" on "Wheel of Fortune". Typo or legitimate birthname and the D was omitted for some reason (without a source, my guess is for ease of pronounication?) Dwp49423 18:48, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

I've read several places that his birth name is "Sajdak." I don't know whether he's legally changed it to "Sajak," or whether the better-known spelling is just a stage name. JTRH 15:36, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I found a TV Guide source that includes his birth name, and will include the reference in the main article. --Adavidb 00:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Ok, that reference is already included in the Infobox – so why the renewed edit controversy? I added another source reference to the article text. —Adavidb 00:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Super Password

I was watching reruns of Super Password, and on an All-Star Special, he was actually playing it.

[edit] Ponytail

Since Wikipedia is not to include unverifiable content (see Attribution), I've removed the paragraph about "unsubstantiated" rumors that Sajak has a hidden ponytail. --Adavidb 10:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Do we need to mention his religious belief of Protestant?

I don't think so. Hard to believe he still has black hair at the age of 60. --4.85.129.14 03:29, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

It's brown (probably dyed). 67.76.100.26 23:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
