Pat Sajak has been keeping a very low profile since he retired from Wheel of Fortune in 2023, but he stepped back into the spotlight Thursday at the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The occasion? Honoring Air Supply’s Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock as they received their star. Sajak praised the duo for over 50 years of entertaining sold-out crowds, and he knows a little something about staying power himself after more than 40 years on Wheel.
His speech got real about longevity, with Sajak admitting he understands the challenge of trying not to wear out your welcome. Then he lightened things up with a joke about considering an Air Supply tattoo but deciding against it because it might detract from his nipple ring. He’s 79 and still has the timing. Ryan Seacrest may be running Wheel now, but Sajak clearly hasn’t lost his touch for a room.
Air Supply’s induction is a well-deserved honor for a duo that’s been at it for five decades. Sajak showing up to celebrate them just made it sweeter. Which Pat Sajak moment from Wheel of Fortune lives rent-free in your head?
