Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak made headlines this week after walking off set live on the show.
Sajak, 75, felt he had to remove himself from set after—get this—the third $100,000 grand prize win in a row.
The historic win happened when two Wheel of Fortune contestants both won the grand prize of $100,000 within the same week.
Furthermore, the two back-to-back wins occurred not just in the same week—which is a Wheel of Fortune first to begin with—but on consecutive nights: Monday and Tuesday.
However, records were shattered even further when the Wednesday night winner won the same $100,000 prize—the first ever Wheel of Fortune trifecta in history.

WHAT?! Another historic night! Bree is our THIRD $100,000 WINNER IN A ROW! Breaking News: Wheel of Fortune is running out of confetti! @KATUNewspic.twitter.com/WSAoBmhi8r— Wheel of Fortune (@Wheel of Fortune) 1644454704
Coming into the Wednesday night game, Sajak had been humorously speculating at the idea of a third-streak win.
He joked:
“Monday we gave away $100,000 in the bonus round. Yesterday we gave away $100,000 in the bonus round. So because of budgetary considerations, rather than cash, we're playing for luncheon meats tonight.”
Sajak even quipped that after two back-to-back wins, the show was running out of confetti.
Contestant Bree Yokouchi made Sajak eat his words, however, when she solved the puzzle "just you wait" and pulled off the third major historic win in a row.
Sajak, in awe over the extremely unlikely three time consecutive win streak, jokingly walked off set in response.
He said, throwing his card in the air:
“I'm outta here."
“That's it. I'm through.”
Twitter users are in awe over the historic win streak.
Reader, let me tell you: I SCREAMED when this happened! #WheelOfFortunehttps://twitter.com/WheelofFortune/status/1491577254601576455\u00a0\u2026— Traci Lee (@Traci Lee) 1644461099
24 spaces, 1 $100,000 prize. So any player has a 1/24 shot of landing on it. It happening twice in a row is 1/576. It happening three times in a row is 1/13,824. Amazing that this happened. Will we see it happen again tomorrow, where the chance would be 1/331,776?— Warth Bunan (@Warth Bunan) 1644455821
WHAT?! three in a row. Bree is already won $121,638 in the third $100,000 winner on Wheel of Fortune. Congratulations, Bree.— Charles Smith (@Charles Smith) 1644458401

He responded:
“That would be ridiculous."
“That would be virtually impossible.”
