He may no longer be spinning the Wheel, but Pat Sajak<\/strong> continues to bring the dry humor to social media.<\/p>\n After a nearly 10-month break from X, the retired Wheel of Fortune <\/em>host, 79, returned to the app formerly known as Twitter earlier this month, joking about Ozempic<\/a> and asking his followers a hypothetical question about “a friend” who wants to host “an imaginary game show” in his basement. Classic Sajak humor!<\/p>\n Now, the legendary TV host, took to X to joke about his Wheel of Fortune <\/em>residuals<\/a> \u2014 and how much they’ve paid off since Ryan Seacrest<\/strong> took the Wheel (literally) in September 2024.<\/p>\n The game show icon wrote:<\/p>\n If Sajak actually got paid based on the, well, good fortune of Wheel of Fortune<\/em> contestants, this season he’d have more money than ever \u2014 given that contestant Christina Derevjanik<\/strong> won the biggest prize the show has ever seen.<\/p>\n On the September 30 episode of Wheel<\/em>, the Stamford, Connecticut resident won a historic $1,035,155 after correctly completing the bonus round puzzle \u2014 and picking the million-dollar wedge.<\/p>\n Seacrest and longtime Wheel <\/em>co-host Vanna White<\/strong> were over the moon about Derevjanik’s record-breaking win.<\/p>\n “Ecstatic doesn\u2019t even cover it, my first million-dollar win just set a new Wheel record!” Seacrest, 50, posted<\/a> on his socials at the time, alongside a series of photos from the episode. “Biggest win ever. Biggest grin ever. I\u2019ll never forget this moment.”<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Parade<\/a> on Oct 26, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
