“He's kind of the last of the old school,” said Adam Nedeff, author and researcher for the National Archive of Game Show History at the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York. He'll be forever known for standing onstage at the wheel, with Vanna White at the board. But he was 35 years old when he started hosting “Wheel of Fortune” and will be 77 when he leaves next year. He has a handful of other entries on his resume, disc jockey (many of his ilk also got their start in radio) and television weatherman among them.
