Pat Sajak Does Something He's 'Never Done' Before on 'Wheel of Fortune'
And he'll never do it again.
Pat Sajak has been hosting Wheel of Fortune for decades, but apparently, he still hasn't run out of firsts.
The longtime game show host checked something new off his list of experiences after a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune, where he got up close—and very personal—with one contestant.
In footage of the moment uploaded to Instagram on Tuesday, Sajak, 76, was seen talking to a contestant named Greg, who was rocking a major Santa-style beard that Sajak wanted to get his hands on.
"Now Santa Claus needs help in the holidays and I understand you fill that role," Sajak said to Greg in the clip, insinuating that Greg works as a Saint Nick impersonator.
"That's right. I've been helping Santa for 25 years," the contestant replied, although he said he's only had the "real" beard for about six years, which he claims has made "all the difference in the world."
"Do they still pull on it?" Sajak wondered, leading Greg to reveal that he usually tells them to give his beard a tug to prove he's the real deal. Naturally, Sajak wanted to test the theory himself.
He asked Greg if he could tug on the beard before walking over and giving it a pull, before jumping away and exclaiming, "I've never done that, and I will never do it again," as the audience roared with laughter.
