Pat Sajak

"Television people have put blinders on and they absolutely refuse—and movie people too—to admit that they can have any influence for ill in our society. You know the argument: We only reflect whats going on. We do not perpetuate it. And yet not a week goes by in this town where theres not an award ceremony where theyre patting each other on the back, saying, You raised AIDS awareness [or] Therell be no more child abuse thanks to this fine show you did. The argument is you can only do influence for good; you cant influence for ill. That makes no sense at all."

"You better go shopping for that dog."

"I had so many nicknames in high school I cant even begin to start the list right now."

"Political pornography is not unlike the sexual kind: difficult to define, but you know it when you see it."

"“But my question is this, how did Pat Sajak gain authority over werewolves?” Pat Sajak smiled. “I could say it was dumb luck, like a spin on my show. Or I could say its a curse. Or I could tell you the truth."

"That was my nickname in high school."

"Its hard to get burned out on doing a TV show."

"A celebrity has just as much right to speak out as people who hold real jobs. This is America, after all, and you should not be precluded from voicing your opinions just because you sing songs, mouth other peoples words on a sitcom or, for that matter, spin a giant multi-colored wheel on a game show."

"Pat Sajak, whose new late- night talk show is scheduled to go up against Carson, says he will eschew Johnny Carsons introductory monologue to avoid the "miilisecond" of "panic" he sees in Johnnys eyes after a failed joke ("The Good Fortune of Pat Sajak," by Diane K. Shah, Dec. 11)."

"I would be surprised... if someone at CBS wasnt thinking that eventually Johnnys gonna retire and if we have somebody in place, well be in good shape."

"Sexual scandals are especially effective against Republicans who can then also be accused of hypocrisy inasmuch as theyre always spouting off about morality and junk like that. Of course, some personal issues such as former Klan membership or leaving the scene of a fatal accident are off limits for obvious reasons"

"I now believe global warming alarmists are unpatriotic racists knowingly misleading for their own ends. Good night."
