Jim Gaffigan’s Side-Splitting Observations About Wheel of Fortune

Jim Gaffigan made and shared some side-splitting observations about Wheel of Fortune. The popular funnyman will have you laughing hysterically with his spot-on comments about the long-running game show. Watch the short and hilarious clip to hear what Jim Gaffigan had to say about Wheel of Fortune and its former host, Pat Sajak.

Typically, television shows do not last long. A show that lasts two to three seasons is likely a big success. Given the considerable expense associated with producing a television show and the incredible amount of competition from places like Netflix, Hulu and Apple+, if shows don’t find their audience quickly, they are pulled off the air.

A show that manages to last decades is not the norm for sure. Shows like The Price is Right, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune are rare, beating the odds to become beloved game shows. In a clip posted on YouTube, Jim shares some thoughts and hilarious observations about one of those popular, long-running programs.

In the video, Jim recognizes that many people in the entertainment field are grossly overpaid for jobs that anyone could do. However, he then makes comments dripping in sarcasm that some people, like former Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, are rightly paid the big bucks for their unique skills.

“Was there anything Pat Sajak couldn’t do? Think about this. He was the host of Wheel of Fortune… He was like a Renaissance man,” Jim says, as he has trouble coming up with anything else to add to Pat’s list of skills and accomplishments.

Later, Jim adds how he would have liked to have been in the room when Pat announced his retirement to the show’s staff.

“I would have been like, ‘You know this isn’t a real job, right? You don’t get to retire from playing hangman. The appropriate thing to do is apologize and give back all the money,’” he said.

The clip ends with Jim mentioning that Pat has continued to work on the show in a consulting role, which does sound odd when the entire show consists of people saying letters for half an hour.

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.”
