Sajak's message for Vanna White
During the show, Sejak also shared his gratitude to his "professional other half" co-host Vanna White saying that she takes the show very seriously, but not herself.
They share a genuine respect and affection for each other as Sejak said, "Vanna is as sweet and unassuming as she seems." Sajak also thanked White for her touching farewell message in the previous episode.
On June 6, in the penultimate episode of Sajak, Vanna White gave an emotional farewell to her friend and co-host. She said she was grateful to Sajak for making her feel "so comfortable" and "so confident" from the start.
"As the years have gone by, we've grown up on television, but we've also shared so much more behind the scenes," White said, reflecting on their journey together. Even though we had a great time filming, my favorite moments are the ones we shared with our families outside of the studio—memories, achievements, and life events."
She also said that Sejak is like a brother to her and she has enjoyed every minute of the show with him. This shows how much gratitude and mutual respect they share which is vital for any show to be a success.
In his speech, Sajak however assured viewers that his relationship with White would continue beyond the show. He mentioned that they live only about five miles apart, ensuring that their friendship would endure.
"While I'll very much miss working with her, I take solace in the fact that we live about 5 miles apart, so we'll see plenty of each other, but I will miss our nightly closes and her laughter and her good nature," Sajak stated.
