Wheel of Fortune isn't the only TV series to showcase Pat Sajak's talents on camera. The acclaimed host is ending his time on the beloved game show on Friday, June 7. Ahead of his retirement, take a trip down memory lane to see Sajak's other TV appearances over the years, from recent comedies like Fresh Off the Boat to his short-lived stint as a late-night host in the '80s and beyond.

This is an excerpt from the Wheel of Fortune: Farewell, Pat Sajak issue of TV Guide Magazine. For more inside scoop on the long-running game show and Pat's final episode, pick up a copy of the issue, available on newsstands and online at WheelofFortuneMag.com.

In the 2017 ABC comedy episode "B as in Best Friends," competitive mom Jessica (Constance Wu) and her neighborhood BFF Honey (Chelsey Crisp) head to Wheel of Fortune for the show's Best Friends Week. The two have some issues that they air during the game, as do Pat Sajak and Vanna White. When Honey realizes there are 11 O's in the puzzle, Sajak quips, "That's the hardest thing Vanna will ever do in her life." He even accuses his cohost of stealing his yogurt from the community fridge! Luckily, the two duos end up hilariously solving it. — Zoe Woolrich

By the late '80s, everyone was looking for the next Johnny Carson, and with the amiable Sajak riding a wave of popularity during Wheel</em>'s first decade in syndication, CBS launched The Pat Sajak Show in the late-night slot on January 9, 1989. They probably should have waited until Carson's Tonight Show left in 1992. With added competition from the younger The Arsenio Hall Show , which premiered the same month, Sajak's legacy series (above: guest Chevy Chase) never had a chance to break through and was canceled in April 1990. — Matt Roush
