00:01 - And now it's time to play TMZ Wheel of Fortune
00:05 with today's contestant, Vanna White.
00:08 Okay, it's a phrase.
00:10 I love you, rat.
00:12 I love you, cat.
00:13 - I love you, Pat.
00:14 - Damn, we almost had it.
00:16 But yes, Vanna made an emotional video farewell to Pat
00:19 before his final show tonight
00:21 reflecting on their relationship.
00:23 - What an incredible and unforgettable journey we've had.
00:27 - And while discussing their 41 years
00:29 and 8,000 shows together,
00:31 Vanna teared up before leaving Pat with this final message.
00:35 - You're like a brother to me
00:36 and I consider you a true lifelong friend.
00:39 - Aw, he'll be spinning the wheel in her heart forever.
00:43 - It really is amazing when you think about
00:45 like bands that break up after six years
00:47 because they can't stand each other
00:49 and they work together
00:50 and there wasn't that competitive jealousy
00:53 between the two of them.
00:54 - Nope, they were a great duo
00:56 with dynamic chemistry and mutual respect.
00:59 - And nobody can replace Pat.
01:01 - Ryan Seacrest is the perfect person to replace him.
01:04 Okay, well, maybe him.
01:05 But will Ryan be able to capture Pat's edge?
01:08 - You also have to have a little bit of a bite.
01:10 Did you see Pat this week?
01:11 Like a girl was way off in her guessing the final puzzle
01:15 and he was like, "You weren't even close."
01:18 - I wonder if tonight he's just gonna say,
01:21 "That's the stupidest (beep) thing I've ever seen."
01:25 What are they gonna do?
01:26 Fire him?
01:27 - We'll find out.
01:28 Good luck, Pat.
01:29 We'll truly miss you and clearly so will Vanna.
01:32 - You made me who I am.
01:33 You really did.
