The Instagram post only mentions him retiring from J!. He was on Wheel much longer, since Shopper's Bazaar. I hope Wheel's social media acknowledges him as well since that's where he was first.

That's a pretty incredible run there for someone whose been around since the golden age of game shows. I'll best remember him as giving the signal for the "less than a minute" warnings on J!, where he would point his index finger down towards Alex. Any idea if anyone else from the Woolery era is still with the show, or is Pat now the longest-lived staff member of the show?
