Pat Sajak, the decades-long host of Wheel of Fortune, dropped a bomb on Twitter today that may make you question everything you hold to be a universal truth.

To clarify: I do not host a game show. It's a program that features a risk/reward system to identify words & phrases.

This information comes to us despite the fact that Sajak’s own Twitter profile describes him as a “Game show host, icon, sexagenarian,” which I imagine is the description no matter what his age may be. So why the change of heart? And will other game show hosts persons with risky/rewardy shows based around identifying various things also come forward against this apparently derogative term?

While we’re on the subject of Pat Sajak saying things I don’t understand, his Twitter account is worth a romp. He’s got a lot of things to say about pretty much everything. Like sports:

Report: Super Bowl coaches refuse to name opponents. Referring to them only as "other sports teams."

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

When a politician begins a sentence with, "What the American people want…," it's time to change the channel.

Decided to get tough. Woman in mall asked if she could buy a vowel, so I gave her an "E" and I'm suing her for $250.

I think of myself as a man's man. I like my Scotch neat, my steaks rare and my Pop-Tarts untoasted.
