Pat Sajak turns 70 today 10/26. He has also now hosted WOF longer than Barker hosted TPIR. Barker's first and last first-run TPIR episodes aired 34 years, 9 months, and 11 days apart(9/4/1972-6/15/2007). Sajak's first and most recent WOF first-run episodes aired 34 years, nine months, and 29 days apart(12/28/1981 daytime debut-10/26/2016). Far as I can remember, Sajak is only the third person to host a daily US game show past the age of 70, with Trebek and Barker being the other two. MOnty Hall was 69 when he hosted the last 13 weeks of the 1990 run of LMAD.
