The television world has been rocked by the news that longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak will retire after the show’s next season. Having held that post since late 1981, Sajak has become a part of our everyday lives much like Bob Barker and Alex Trebek were. The question now is whether Vanna White, his co-host for nearly as long, will follow him out the door.
Anyway, with this news, it’s worth looking back at Notre Dame’s Amanda Pottorff, who made it to the show’s bonus round in March 2020:

Pottorff didn’t solve the episode’s final puzzle, but she walked away with a nice chunk of change and a trip to Antigua. The Observer, Notre Dame’s student newspaper, ran a story about her if you want to know more about her experience. Her appearance came tnearly two years after that another student, Kathleen Capella, who won $20,201, including a trip to Aruba, but also lost in the bonus round.
Most importantly, Pottorff has completed her studies at Notre Dame. She graduated last month with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. Here’s hoping she does great things.
