At-home viewers were critical of Sajak’s off-the-cuff remark.
“I feel like I just witnessed a #metoo moment on @WheelofFortune?” one fan tweeted of the conversation, while another fan wrote that it was an “inappropriate comment.”
“I’m sure he was trying to be funny in his own way but it definitely crossed the line,” added the viewer.
However, others saw no issue with Sajak’s comments, chalking up the moment to playful chatter among longtime co-workers.
“People love shows and sitcoms with filthy language and violence then want to jump on Pat Sajak for everything he says. I’m sure his intent was a play on words from Vanna’s I’m not an opera buff,” a viewer tweeted on Wednesday. “I don’t think he was trying to insinuate anything inappropriate.”

“Believe it or not, Pat Sajak and I have only had one argument in 36 years, and that was over putting ketchup on a hotdog,” White told Fox News Digital at the time, before explaining her go-to condiments are ketchup and mustard, while Sajak opts for just the latter.
