HomePat Sajak -- I Was Drunk on 'Wheel of Fortune' 1/26/2012 9:05 AM PST BY TMZ STAFF Pat SajakI Was Drunk on 'Wheel of Fortune' 
Pat Sajak used to be WASTED on "Wheel of Fortune" back in the 80s -- this according to the game show host himself.
Pat made the confession during an interview with Dan Le Batard -- claiming in the old days, he would down "two, three, or six" margaritas at a Mexican joint near NBC studios during the show's 2-hour dinner break ... before heading back to finish taping.
According to Pat, Vanna was also guilty of drinking on the job -- but they've since stopped the mid-show imbibing tradition.
Pat added, they were so drunk ... they would often "have trouble recognizing the alphabet."

If you had any questions before about whether or not Pat Sajak is the man, this should erase all doubts...

This was very common for early gameshows. I've never heard anyone speak of wheel of fortune before, but I do recall watching a "behind the scenes" type of do***entary on early shows and learned that Gene Rayburn (sp?) and the panel on The Match Game were fairly regularly loaded. As it was told, you could always tell the shows that were taped early in the day vs. later in the day... the night tapings got a bit crazy cuz everyone was hammered.
Ah... those were the days!

Not a big deal Pat. I've always assumed that the only way you could actually watch that show was if you were hammered drunk.

Did anyone watch the video interview in its entirety? Pat's tongue is firmly planted in cheek when discussing this and you can tell he's kind of exaggerating for the sake of having fun. This wasn't a big reveal, just a goofy anecdote, now completely blown out of proportion.

This was back in the 80s when you had to spend your prize money on their crappy merchandise. Wonder how many times a drunken Sajak stumbled backstage and mounted the ceramic Dalmatian.
