I posted on the "Wheel of Fortune" FaceBook page "I don't think Pat will be fired from Wheel of Fortune just because he made a controversial Twitter post, because did CBS fire Bob Barker when he was accused of sexual harassment and wrongful termination? I don't think so!  #teamsajak" Edit: I also commented on my post on the "Wheel of Fortune" FaceBook page: I don't care what you people say, because I'm still going to watch "Wheel of Fortune" each night at 6:30 PM! #teamsajak" |

I don't think Pat will be fired from Wheel of Fortune just because he made a controversial Twitter post, because did CBS fire Bob Barker when he was accused of sexual harassment and wrongful termination? I don't think so! No, but they did keep Barker around despite the myriad of lawsuits. Besides that, I've heard people claim over the years that Barker didn't actually leave on his own terms, but they've never been substantiated. As for Pat, I agree that I don't think he'll be ousted based on a couple of tweets...or his constant snarky comments about dumb puzzles. |

It's now increased to 15,000 :tdown: 15,000 signatures? A drop in the bucket compared to Wheel's audience figures. Now, if they were calling for Pat Sajak's head, I'd be concerned, but realistically that's not likely to happen either. |

Watching @midnight from last night. They mentioned the tweet and even had a little game based on it called "Wheel of Bats**t", featuring Happy Wheels and a puzzleboard based on the early 90's set. Pretty good, even though they apparently didn't see the tweet clarifying it was a joke.

I just watched it on their site. The board appeared to be a screencap of the 1997-2003 board from the iOS game, and the theme used was actually the 1983 "Changing Keys". The game they played looked and functioned almost exactly the same as a Toss-Up, but with a used letter board on a category strip on the bottom.

Maybe it's just me, but I find it funny that *I'm* pictured in this Game Show Confession...considering I used to do a college game show myself.  |
