Wheel of Fortune contestant gets hassled by Pat Sajak over her hairstyle – but fans can’t look away
A WHEEL of Fortune contestant with giant hair she’s still rocking from the ’80s was relentlessly teased – so to speak – by Pat Sajak.
Jennifer from Indiana proudly displayed her retro style in all its glory, but the soon-to-retire host just kept spinning out mean remarks.

Jennifer, who shares two grown-up children with her husband, instantly scored attention for her ‘do.
She donned a towering, immobile blonde hairdo that she hasn’t changed since the ’80s.
Pat, 77, held a mini-roast about it during his interview which each contestant.
“This woman, this may not shock you to hear this,” the host said.
“In the 80s, was voted Best Hair in High School.”
The crowd applauded and Pat kept going, curious why she never changed up her look.
‘NO- IT’S LOVELY!’
“So when you like something you stick with it, is that it?” Pat quipped.
“Stick is a good word because of all the hairspray I use,” she cleverly joked back.
However, the host wasn’t done, “Have you ever changed your hairstyle over the years?” he asked.
“No,” she bluntly replied. “I’m happy to still have hair at my age!”
Pat remorsefully replied back, “No, It’s lovely!”
“I’m glad you – I feel the same way,” he sarcastically ended.
Fans took to social media where they were impressed by the look even if Pat wasn’t.
‘NOW THAT’S A HAIRDO’
“#WheelofFortune Now that’s a hairdo,” one X user wrote.
“This lady’s damn hair is stiff as hell..#WheelofFortune,” wrote another.
Jennifer lost to Shannon all said, who was not able to crack the bonus puzzle but went home with over $16,000 – in fact they both did with very close scores.
PAT’S WRAPPED FILMING
Meanwhile, Pat has not only set his last day as host but taped his farewell episode, The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal.
He will bid farewell to the masses at the end of Season 41 on Friday, June 7, 2024.
But a rep for Wheel of Fortune exclusively confirmed to The U.S. Sun that Pat has filmed his last slate of six episodes on April 5, 2024.
This includes his final episode, fittingly titled “Thanks For The Memories,” and is already filmed, the show exclusively shared.
That means Pat is done hosting the show and the episodes fans are seeing come as he’s already retired.
The episode will be a TV milestone as the host has doled out puzzles and prizes alongside Vanna White, 66, since 1981 and 1982 respectively.
The show did not share if Pat’s farewell episode will be an all-out tribute with memories from over the years or simply a normal game ending with him saying goodbye.
Tickets for Pat’s penultimate five episodes were opened to the public at the last minute, while his farewell episode was reportedly not open to the public and was invite only.
Pat announced in spring of 2023 that he’d be leaving the iconic game show and that Season 41 would be his last.
Shortly after, Ryan Seacrest announced on Instagram that he would replace Pat as the new host come fall 2024.
The show airs weekdays at 7:30 pm ET on ABC, so fans can catch his sendoff on June 7 at that time.
