Sajak says he and Turner letter Vanna White regularly consume alcohol prior to registration would be to fill idle time created by the original format of the show game.

"Our lunch break is 2 1 / 2 long hours while driving in new cars and boats and gazebos and stuff," says Sajak Le Batard. "So at NBC in Burbank we had a place called Los Arcos across the street, and they served great margaritas.

"So Vanna and I would go through and have two or three and six and then come to the last show and find it difficult to recognize the alphabet."
