Vanna White – Having Difficulty Moving On
According to the Daily Mail, Vanna White is having difficulty co-hosting the show without her main man at her side.
Pat Sajak retired from Wheel of Fortune. Producers replaced him with Ryan Seacrest. But the two haven’t gotten along since.
An insider told the outlet that Vanna finds it hard to “jibe” with the American Idol host since she’s used to working with her former co-host. She might consider exiting the game show before her contract ends in 2026. Vanna renegotiated her contract. But she might get out of it.

“Vanna is retiring from the show sooner when her contract ends, but there is a part of her that wants to walk away sooner,” the insider told DailyMail.com. “It’s just so difficult to do this without Pat. She just doesn’t jibe with Ryan like she did with Pat, and no one really ever expected her to. There is just no way that she possibly could.”
Vanna White is satisfied with her time on Wheel of Fortune. She devoted most of her life to the show. The former model feels she had an incredible run with Pat Sajak. She also understands that producers want to bring this show in a new direction.

I feel like this if Vanna white is having problems with walking then she should do what is best for her.
She turns squares around for 3 .illion a year. Almost everyone person would love the job. No, I don’t feel she needs more money for her job. She needs to be thankful for her blessings.
I’m not a Ryan Seacrest fan. He has an ego. Vanna has been a show stopper for years. Her not getting a raise for 18 years is wrong. She was there for everyone for years and no one graciously gave her what she deserved. She should walk and receive a huge bonus for it. They’ll hire some cute bimbo at a low price and save money. I won’t watch it anymore with Ryan Seacrest as host.
Vanna is highly over rated. 3 million for prancing around in fancy clothes and traveling.
Many would love to do that!
Pat Sajek was highly overpaid! His sarcasm did not appeal to me and many at all !! Good riddance !
Both Seacrest and Vanna should be replaced!!!!
