On Monday’s episode, Pat, 77, began the episode like he always does – talking to the contestants and asking them about their lives.

Joyce was a teacher, but has always had the dream of being a stand-up comedian.

“I want to be a stand-up comedian and follow your career,” she admitted.

“Oh ok. Except I’m ready to sit down actually,” Pat joked.

The host laughed before moving on to ask the next contestant questions.

Pat is known for his sarcasm and humor on Wheel of Fortune.

‘SAD WEEK’

After last night’s episode, fans started to get emotional knowing this is Pat’s last week.

They left well wishes for the host on X, formerly Twitter, as many of them were in tears over him leaving.

“This is a sad week. Is @patonwheel REALLY leaving? He’s the last of a rare breed of GSH’s who understood the art of hosting. Don’t know what I’ll watch at 7:30p. Farewell Pat. #WheelofFortune,” one fan wrote.

“I’m sad y’all, this is the last week of #WheelOfFortune with Pat Sajak. I’ll miss watching him for sure…” said another.

“I’m in tears over Pat leaving #WheelOfFortune,” a third added.

“Pat will 100% be missed on #WheelOfFortune #irreplaceable,” said another fan.

“Saying goodbye to Pat Sajak on Wheel of Fortune brings a flood of memories from childhood to my dad’s final days. Thank you for the memories! #WheelOfFortune,” a fan cried.

SAYING GOODBYE

Pat also revealed his plans for retirement on Monday morning before his final week.
