"Yes, I used to watch the show as a kid with my grandparents, my granny and my bumpa," Taylor, the "Wheel of Fortune" player, explained.

"I watch nightly with My Momma who has Alzheimer’s and we’ve been watching it together since ‘85," one fan wrote.

"I would have dinner with my parents once a week. I drive an hour each way to see them. It was always worth it. They would be so happy to see me… After dinner, we would… all sit down to watch 'Wheel of Fortune.' I always held my dad's hand," another fan wrote in the comments.

"Always love those memories. I wish I could have one more time holding my dad's hand [watching] the Wheel. I watch it every night in his memory!"

"Wheel of Fortune" premiered on television in 1975, and Sajak started hosting it in 1981. Co-host White joined Sajak in 1982.
