The show, which blends word puzzles with elements of luck and strategy, has become a cultural staple. It has captivated audiences for over four decades. Hosted by Pat Sajak from 1981 until his retirement in 2024, with Vanna White as the longtime co-host and letter-turner, the show now features Ryan Seacrest as host alongside White. Its enduring appeal lies in its accessibility. It blends suspense, humor, and lighthearted competition.
