Uh, Moms Night Out dinners you do, huh? That's right. I have a wonderful group of--of girlfriends, and we're all moms, and we get together every month and we compl--we complain, we brag, we compare notes, and we celebrate each other.

And so you're worried about your fellow firefighters watching the game-- watching the show? Well, I'm not worried at all, Pat. Actually, it warms my heart. It warms my heart knowing, like, I can just hear it now. I can hear the trash talk when they see me on screen. [laughter] And that's great. I welcome it. I don't wanna say anything to make you nervous, but try not to mess up. That's... [laughter] - Nice having you here. - I'll do my best, Pat. - Good luck to you. - Thank you. - Adrienne, how you doing? - I'm doing fine. - How are you? - Good. I'm well, thank you. Adrienne Bean from Memphis, Tennessee. Now, you like to sing, huh? I do. I love to sing, but you know what? What? My family tells me that I can't, so I just keep trying. Well... [laughter] Maybe we'll just take their word for it and move on. [laughter] Uh, get ready. We're gonna do another "Toss Up," okay? This one is worth $2,000, and the category is "Occupation." Here we go. ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ - [bell chimes] - And it's Nino. Advertising executive. Yeah, that's it. You can put those down and relax. There you go. Put those devices away. So, you got the $2,000. Uh, I think most people know this is my last evening on the show, and at the end of the show, I have a few things I'd like to say, so we need to save a little time. How do we do that? So we're gonna cut out a round, which kind of robs you people, but here's what I'm gonna do. Here's what I've decided. Scoot over here. I have to reach in. It's been a long time since I've spun the wheel. I'm gonna spin it, and I'm gonna add $1,000 to what I land on, then everyone's gonna get that amount. How do you like that? There we go. - Love it. - Thank you. Let's go. Uh, huh, huh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! All right. [cheers and applause] So, everyone's gonna get 2-- you know what? It's not my money. Let's give 'em all $5,000. - Why not? - [laughter] NINO: Let's go! - Oh, my gosh. - Thank you. You know... [laughs] Little Jimmy's surgery can wait. Uh... - [laughter] - Anyway, so you got that. That's--you're off to a good start, all of you, and, Jim, you've got something there, don't you? Mystery Round I do, and I wanna thank you, Pat, for the past 13 years as your announcer, keeping me on my toes! And there's just one other thing I have to say. Tonight's Mystery Round is brought to you by Prevagen. ANNOUNCER: Prevagen. You might take something for your heart, but do you take something for your brain? In clinical trials, Prevagen improved memory. Prevagen. No prescription required. JIM: $10,000! All right. Thank you, Jim. You know, I've been around for a long time, and you are the best. Thank you for all the work you've done here. Uh, "Before & After" is the category for this round, and, Nino, you got that last "Toss Up." You are gonna spin first. All right, let's go. All right. And it's $600. T! Spoken like a true Marine. [laughter] Yes, there's one--one T. There you go. N. There are four N's. Whoo! That's nice news. Takes you to $2,800. What do you wanna do now? I would like to buy an A. Well, you know what? There is no A. [groans] I am sorry. Adrienne, your turn. - TAMMI: Come on, Adrienne. - NINO: Let's go, Adrienne! R. One R. Gets you going. - I would like to buy a vowel. - Yes. O. Well, let's give her a couple of O's, Vanna, please. All right. Now, let's have a letter. S. One S, worth $1,000. So, you got that $1,000, and you have $600 that you already had. You would be risking $1,600, but there could be $10,000 back there. There could also be a "Bankrupt." Are you gonna take that chance? - I'm gonna go for it. - Go for it. Pick it up. [cheers and applause] [audience groans] You know what? Don't put that down. - We never wanna see that again. - [laughter] Throw that out behind you. And, Tammi, you take your turn. I'm gonna spin. B. Yes, there are a couple of B's. Ah, speaking of B. All right, what letter do you want? L. There are two L's. Pick up that trip. NINO: Yeah! That's a $12,000 trip to Barbados. Nicely posed. Thank you. Now you can put it right down there and tell us what you wanna do next. I'd like to solve. Oh, go ahead. Spelling bee in your bonnet. Yeah, that's it. [cheers and applause] - You didn't waste any time. - Thank you. You know, we heard from Jim earlier. If you hold that up, we'll hear from Jim again. Pick it up, and here he goes. Win Here I go. Settle into that laid-back island rhythm, Tammi. Retreat to the pink sands and turquoise waters of Barbados at The Crane Resort. Delight in Old World charm from grand colonial-styled suites, a relaxing spa, and more... - [laughs] - ADRIENNE: Nice, Tammi. Well, you add everything up, including that sort of free money early on, you got $20,890. We have lots more to give away, and we will get to it after these words.

We're gonna take a real quick break, and when we come back, I have a few parting thoughts. Stay with us. Pats Farewell Well, the time has come to say goodbye. I have a few thanks and acknowledgements before I go, and I wanna start with all of you watching out there. It's been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade, and I've always felt that the privilege came with the responsibility to keep this daily half-hour a safe place for family fun-- no social issues, no politics, nothing embarrassing, I hope-- just a game. But gradually, it became more than that-- a place where kids learned their letters, where people from other countries honed their English skills, where families came together along with friends and neighbors and entire generations. What an honor to have played even a small part in all that. Thank you for allowing me into your lives. Every time we taped a show, I met three new people from all parts of this wonderful country and the world who were kind and considerate, who rooted for each other, who took great pride in talking about their family, their hometown, their--their friends, their schools, their jobs, even their pets. In the end, they were the real stars of the show. I genuinely liked these people, and I'll miss the chance to meet more of them. To our staff and crew, particularly the veterans with whom I've shared this stage for five years, 10 years, 20, 30 and more, it's been a joy to work with you. Your skills and dedication and good humor made this a place I always wanted to be. Everyone pulled together and cared about each other and about this show. It worked because you made it work. It looked great because you made it look great, and you made my job so much easier. And I want you to know that your efforts never went unnoticed by me nor unappreciated. I'll miss you guys. The best part of the last couple of years has been the chance to work with my daughter Maggie, to watch her grow in her role and as a person. She interviewed me recently, and I talked about my life and the show. I hope you've seen some of it online. I really enjoyed doing it. I have to admit, it's a little weird to be interviewed... [chuckles] by your own daughter, uh, but she did a great job. Maggie is liked around here because she's talented and smart and funny, but she's loved around here because she's kind and caring and humble. Lesly and I are blessed to have two such wonderful kids. There's Maggie, of course, and her fabulous brother Patrick and his new family. As for Lesly, she's been my wife and life partner for 35 years. I love her for who she is and what we are as a team. Finally, to my professional other half, dear Vanna, like me, she takes the show very seriously but not herself. I shudder to think what these 40-plus years might have been like had they brought someone in all full of themselves, playing the prima donna role. Vanna is as sweet and unassuming as she seems. We've seen a lot of changes in each other's lives over the years, but we've always been there for each other. I want to thank her for her lovely goodbye on yesterday's show, and while I'll very much miss working with her, I take solace in the fact that we live about 5 miles apart, so we'll see plenty of each other. But I will miss our nightly closes and her laughter and her good nature. She's a very special woman. And I know you're all pleased to know that she'll be back next season. And by the way, you'll still see plenty of me for the next few months. That's right--summer reruns. So, the jokes will be the same, but I'd appreciate it if you'd laugh again anyway. That's it. Thank you all so very much... and goodbye. [applause] ♪♪♪ [applause continues] ♪♪♪ Captioned by Los Angeles Distribution and Broadcasting, Inc. The fun never stops at Wheel!
