LOS ANGELES | January 26, 2012

America's favorite game show of times past Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajack appeared on ESPN2 Tuesday and declared he used to host the game show while intoxicated. Sajack on Dan LeBatard is Highly Questionable said about his drunken game show days that when he first started the game show he was much younger and could tolerate the alcohol. Sajack said that he and Vanna White, who he commented smelled "great," would take 2 ½ dinner breaks at Los Arcos (now Acapulco Restaurant) in Burbank across from NBC and usually have around 4 margaritas, or more, only to return to the studio and have difficulty recognizing letters of the alphabet.

"I had a great time," Sajak continued. "I have no idea if the shows were any good, but no one said anything, so I guess I did OK."
