A WHEEL of Fortune contestant with giant hair she still has from the 80s was relentlessly teased – so to speak – by Pat Sajak.
Jennifer, from Indiana, proudly showed off her retro style in all its glory, but the soon-to-retire host continued to make nasty comments.

Jennifer, who shares two adult children with her husband, immediately turned heads for her style.
She donned a stately, still blonde hairstyle that hasn’t changed since the ’80s.
Pat, 77, gave a little speech about this during his interview with each contestant.
“This woman, it may not shock you to hear this,” said the host.

“In the 80s, it was voted Best Hair in High School.”
The crowd applauded and Pat continued, curious as to why she never changed her look.
‘NO, IT’S ADORABLE!’
“So when you like something, you stick with it, is that it?” Pat joked.
“Stick is a good word because of all the hairspray I use,” she deftly joked.
However, the host didn’t finish: “Have you changed your hairstyle over the years?” he asked.
“No,” she replied bluntly. “I’m glad I still have hair at my age!”
Pat responded remorsefully, “No, it’s beautiful!”
“I’m glad you – I feel the same way,” he finished sarcastically.
Fans took to social media and were impressed with the look, even though Pat wasn’t there.
‘NOW THAT’S A HAIRSTYLE’
“#WheelofFortune Now that’s a hairstyle,” wrote one X user.
“This lady’s damn hair is stiff as hell. #WheelofFortune,” wrote another.
Jennifer lost to Shannon, who couldn’t solve the bonus puzzle but went home with over $16,000 – in fact, they both did so with very close scores.
PAT’S PACKED FILMING
Meanwhile, Pat not only marked his final day as host, but also recorded his farewell episode, which The US Sun can exclusively reveal.
He will say goodbye to the masses in the season 41 finale on Friday, June 7, 2024.
But a rep for Wheel of Fortune exclusively confirmed to The US Sun that Pat filmed her final six-episode series on April 5, 2024.
This includes its final episode, aptly titled “Thanks For The Memories,” and it’s already filmed, the show is shared exclusively.
This means that Pat is done hosting the show and the episodes fans are seeing come after he is already retired.
The episode will be a TV milestone, as the presenter has been handing out puzzles and prizes alongside Vanna White, 66, since 1981 and 1982, respectively.
The show hasn’t said whether Pat’s farewell episode will be a total tribute to memories from all the years or simply a normal game ending with him saying goodbye.
Tickets for Pat’s penultimate five episodes opened to the public at the last minute, while her farewell episode was not open to the public and was invite-only.
Pat announced in spring 2023 that she would be leaving the iconic game show and that the 41st season would be her last.
Shortly after, Ryan Seacrest announced on Instagram that he would be replacing Pat as the new host in the fall of 2024.
The show airs weekdays at 7:30 pm ET on ABC, so fans can catch his farewell on June 7 at that time.
