A recent episode of “Wheel of Fortune” brought an unexpected moment. Michael Colen, a contestant known for his energetic personality and humor, received a serious yet subtle reminder from the host, Pat Sajak. 

During a commercial break, Sajak told Colen, “This is my show.” This interaction wasn’t intended to belittle Colen but served as a gentle nudge to maintain respect for the show’s norms.

Colen, who emerged victorious with a prize of $38,304, showed understanding and respect towards Sajak’s position. Throughout the episode, he displayed a unique charm, engaging the audience and Sajak with his jovial antics, which included dabbing after solving puzzles and light-hearted banter. Although his lively demeanor was well-received, it prompted Sajak to subtly remind him who the star of the show was.

Despite the reminder, the episode ended on a high note. It was apparent that Sajak appreciated Colen’s enthusiasm, as the show concluded with friendly handshakes and a hug. 

Pat Sajak, 77, has been a cornerstone of “Wheel of Fortune” for over 40 years. His interaction with Colen highlighted his ability to balance fun and order, ensuring that contestants like Colen have an enjoyable experience while adhering to the show’s standards.
