As game show host Pat Sajak takes his last spin on the Wheel of Fortune, an Ontario entrepreneur, rapper and self-described religious viewer, Bishop Brigante, will tune in and try to solve the Hangman-style puzzles.

The draw, for him and millions of viewers spanning generations, is family-friendly fare delivered with a sense of humour. But Brigante also has a connection to the Wheel. Last year, his fashion brand, TheEnds, was showcased as a prize on the spinning board for six episodes of the popular show."We were sitting here one day thinking, you know, we always see these prizes on the wheel," he says.

Brigante says he has always been drawn to word games, and grew up guessing along as Sajak urged contestants to buy a vowel or pick a consonant. He has carried on the tradition with his own family, including his eleven-year-old daughter. It was a miss that put TheEnds fully on the map during its run on Wheel of Fortune, though Brigante says he never wanted the attention at the expense of a teenaged contestant under the bright lights and pressure.

Brigante also says the show’s next host, radio and television personality Ryan Seacrest, has big shoes to fill, and that Sajak has made an imprint in countless households around the world.
