Wheel of Fortune co-hosts Vanna White and Pat Sajak have been pioneer members of the long-standing American television game show. However, despite the pay gap between them, Vanna has been incredible and instrumental to the show’s success over the years.
Since Pat Sajak’s retirement announcement and the naming of American Idol host Ryan Seacrest as his replacement in June, many fans and viewers have been worried about Vanna’s fate on the show and the role she will fill going forward if she decides to stay.
To the delight of the fans and viewers, news making rounds has it that Vanna White has decided to remain on the show after several consultations and meetings. The 66-year-old has signed an agreement to extend her tenure on the show for the next two years.
This means that Vanna will co-host the show side by side with Seacrest starting from 2024 all through to 2026.
Hours after the news of Vanna’s tenure extension emerged, Ryan Seacrest, who will step in as Pat Sajak’s successor, shared his excitement about working with Vanna. “This is such great news,” Seacrest revealed during an appearance on Today. “Vanna has been such a staple on that show and in our living rooms for so many years. I have been very excited to work with her, but now that it’s official, I can say, ‘Congratulations Vanna! I can’t wait.’ ”
“She’s beloved by this country and by the viewers and I can’t even imagine standing next to her on that set being able to say, ‘Okay, let’s get to it.’ It’s great news,” he added. “I’m very, very happy to hear it and very happy I’ll be able to work with her.”
