Pat Sajak may be most well-known as the long-running host of Wheel of Fortune — at least until he officially retired in 2024. But for everyone who would love to ask Sajak to buy a vowel, there's a Millennial who is still deeply haunted by his cameo appearance in a 1994 episode of Rugrats . Sajak — who voiced himself in the role — appeared as a caricature of himself in the season 3 episode "Chuckie Is Rich." As the plot goes, Chuckie's dad, Chas Finster, wins $10 million via the American Dunderhead sweepstakes — "the only sweepstakes with Pat Sajak's picture on it!" he declares — and Sajak himself arrives to present Chas with the oversized check. However, Sajak the Cartoon looks notably different than Sajak the Man. The animated version of the beloved game show host boasts large, saucer-like eyes and a bulbous head. When he announces to Chas that he won the $10 million prize, "his mouth opens wide enough to eat Chaz's head," one social media user described. But that comment is just a drop in the bucket. "WHY DOES RUGRATS PAT SAJAK LOOK LIKE THAT," one person commented on a YouTube clip from the episode. "pat sajak on rugrats should be considered a national threat," another shared. Over the years, Milennials across all social media platforms have seemingly been waking up in a cold sweat only to remember Sajak's cameo. "My sleep paralysis demon is Pat Sajak in the Rugrats," one person quipped. "Those beady eyes are nightmare fuel," another commented. "It's like he has no soul." Some "had nightmares about Pat's face for weeks as a child," as one person tweeted. Others still do. "Woke up too early and couldn't get back to sleep because I started thinkin about the time Pat Sajak was on Rugrats," they wrote.

(In real life, Sajak's son , Patrick, is a doctor, while his daughter , Maggie, is a social media correspondent on Wheel .) Like Sajak in cartoon form, the TV host's kid was animated with the same button-like eyes. "anyone else still have night terrors about the pat sajak baby from that one episode of the rugrats, or is that just me," another person asked. Perhaps the backlash is best summed up by a fan who simply wondered, "what the f**k did they do to Pat." Rugrats is available to stream on Paramount+, Hulu and more.Civil servants on the frontline of tackling the small-boats crisis to be given their own 'well-being room' - in case they feel stressed or anxious
49ers QB Brock Purdy resumes throwing, status this week unknownThe Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) Tuesday extended its warm wishes to Christians in Nigeria and across the globe as they celebrate Christmas and prepare for the New Year. In a statement signed by its national publicity secretary, Prof. Tukur Muhammad-Baba, the ACF stated the need for prayers and reflection, especially as Nigerians face significant economic, social, and political challenges. The forum expressed particular concern for the disproportionate impact of insecurity, corruption, and economic hardship on communities in Northern Nigeria. “Despite these daunting challenges, we urge Nigerians not to succumb to despair but embrace the spirit of the season, fostering hope and resilience,” the statement said. The ACF called on Christians and Nigerians of all faiths to pray for peace, security, and economic recovery in the country. The forum also urged for divine guidance for leaders to act with righteousness, fairness, and wisdom in addressing the nation’s problems. Highlighting the importance of national unity and moral renewal, the ACF appealed for repentance and reform among those involved in criminal activities and for divine strength to empower security agencies in their fight against terrorism and criminality. The forum concluded with prayers for a prosperous and equitable Nigeria, governed by justice and fairness for all citizens.Helping to drown out the noise
Global Smart Cities Market Forecast 2024-2033: Analyzing Growth Drivers, Market Share, Segments, and Emerging TrendsSenior members of Canada's cabinet held talks Friday with US President-elect Donald Trump's nominees to lead the departments of commerce and the interior, as Ottawa works to hold off the threat of punishing tariffs. Canada's newly-appointed Finance Minister Dominic Leblanc and Foreign Minister Melanie Joly met with Howard Lutnick, Trump's commerce secretary nominee, who will also lead the country's tariff and trade agenda. Interior secretary nominee Doug Burgum was also at the meeting held at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Leblanc's spokesman Jean-Sebastien Comeau, who confirmed the participants, described the talks as "positive and productive." Trump has vowed to impose crippling 25-percent tariffs on all Canadian imports when he takes office next month. He has said they will remain in place until Canada addresses the flow of undocumented migrants and the drug fentanyl into the United States. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised retaliatory measures should Trump follow through on his pledge, raising fears of a trade war. Leblanc and Joly "outlined the measures in Canada's Border Plan and reiterated the shared commitment to strengthen border security as well as combat the harm caused by fentanyl to save Canadian and American lives," Comeau said in a statement. Canada's Border Plan -- estimated to cost CAN$1 billion ($694 million) -- was crafted as part of Ottawa's response to Trump's concerns. Lutnick and Burgum "agreed to relay information to President Trump," the statement said. Trudeau is facing his worst political crisis since sweeping into office in 2015. Leblanc was named finance minister earlier this month after the surprise resignation of Chrystia Freeland. In a scathing resignation letter, Freeland accused Trudeau of prioritizing handouts to voters instead of preparing Canada's finances for a possible trade war. More than 75 percent of Canadian exports go to the United States and nearly two million Canadian jobs depend on trade. bs/aha Get any of our free email newsletters — news headlines, sports, arts & entertainment, state legislature, CFD news, and more.
