Pat Sajak has been Host of Wheel of Fortune since 1981, when it aired on network daytime television. The top-ranked syndication version made its debut in 1983 with Sajak at the helm; since then, it has brought him three Emmy Awards, a People's Choice Award and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"I was very lucky in that I always knew that I wanted to be in broadcasting," notes Sajak. "My early heroes were people like Arthur Godfrey, Dave Garroway, Steve Allen and especially Jack Paar. They helped shape what a television personality was, paving the way for so many others."

Sajak majored in broadcasting at Columbia College, Chicago, while also working at a small local radio station as a newscaster and announcer. He joined the U.S. Army in 1968, was sent to Vietnam. There, he spent a year and a half with Armed Forces Radio in Saigon - and, much like Robin Williams in the feature film, he started each day by shouting, "Gooood morrrning, Vietnaaam!"

Following his discharge, Sajak spent time at another radio station in Murray, Kentucky. After a year, he decided to move to the nearest big city - in this case, Nashville - and enter the television business. Sajak was hired by WSM-TV as a staff announcer, eventually expanding his role to talk shows and reporting the weather. There, he was spotted by a talent scout for KNBC-TV in Los Angeles and, in 1977, he joined that station as its weatherman.

Four years later he was chosen by Wheel of Fortune’s creator, Merv Griffin, to take over hosting duties on the series' daytime edition.

Sajak has also hosted his own late-night talk show and guest-starred in dozens of comedy, drama, game and talk series. He currently heads his own production company, P.A.T. Productions, in association with Columbia Pictures Television, has amassed a half-dozen platinum records through his music publishing company and owns a radio station in Annapolis, Maryland.

Sajak splits his time between Maryland and Los Angeles. He and his wife Lesly, a photographer, have two young children.

=====================================

Since she made her debut on Wheel of Fortune, in 1982, Vanna White has built a phenomenal following worldwide. As she begins the 2001-2002 season, her "Vannafans" continue to grow - with her weekly fan mail continuing to number in the thousands.

Becoming a household name globally was not something Vanna expected while growing up in the small resort town of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. After attending the Atlanta School of Fashion Design and becoming one of the area's top models, she moved to Los Angeles with the goal of an acting career. Just two years later, while competing against more than 400 other hopefuls, her intelligence, All-American beauty, grace and exuberant personality won her the coveted spot as Co-Host of America's favorite game show.

But no one, especially Vanna herself, anticipated the kind of audience response she received virtually from her first apperance. Surveys have shown that her presence has contributed greatly to Wheel of Fortune’s phenomenal ratings. And, although she has been called it's silent star, Vanna does indeed talk–and quite well. A much sought-after guest on television's talk show couches, Vanna's autobiography,"Vanna Speaks," was a nationwide best seller when published in 1987. She has also been featured on numerous magazine covers.

In 1992, Vanna was recognized in the "Guinness Book of World Records" as "Television’s Most Frequent Clapper." Averaging 720 claps per show, she puts her hands together more than 28,000 times per season! As Wheel of Fortune enters its 18th season in syndication in Fall 2000, she will have worn more than 5,400 different outfits at the puzzleboard.

Beyond her work with the series, her calendar is full: commercial endorsements, acting roles (she starred in the NBC movie "Goddess of Love"), a nutritional video, her own line of dresses, travel to exotic locales, interviews, photo layouts and more.

Through it all, one aspect of Vanna’s life remains unchanged: her down-to-earth appreciation of the work her off-camera colleagues do in keeping the show on top of the ratings charts. "All you see on the TV screen are our contestants, Pat and me," she explains. "But it’s the scores of other people who put the show on that really make Wheel of Fortune spin like it does. Then there’s the game. We just have a winning combination."

Vanna resides in Beverly Hills with her husband George and their two small children, Nicholas and Giovanna.
