Wheel Of Fortune, esteemed co-host
Vana White braved a lot more than touching some glass screens when things went awry with a confetti launcher. It was a momentous occasion for contestant Laura Trammell however, who became the first player to ever win a house in the bonus round. The major win was almost overshadowed by the mishap though. Luckily no injuries were reported.
Seven Blanks To Victory
The episode started off well as Trammell sailed to victory and reached the bonus round with a handsome sum of $23,690 in prize money. With only seven blanks on the screen and the possibility of a brand new car, a house, or six figures on the line, Trammell solved the puzzle with the phrase, “I caught a glimpse.”

Pat Sajak has hosted
Wheel of Fortune. He s made quite a career for himself since replacing
Chuck Woolery on the game show in 1981. Pat has won three Emmys, been nominated for 19, and hosted over 7,000 episodes of the show. However, Sajak hasn t only been a game show host - before his work on
Wheel, the Chicago-born Sajak had many other jobs.
Pat first worked at a local radio station while in college, giving an hourly news briefing in English during the overnight show, which happened to be in Spanish. From there, he enlisted in the Army and was made a finance clerk in Vietnam, just before the war there began. He was able to get himself transferred to Saigon, where he got a job back on the radio, becoming what he called the Good Morning Vietnam guy. He spent a year and a half doing that, then was assigned to a base in Texas, but after some time there, he got his superiors to change his orders and he was sent to the Pentagon.
