Is Wheel of Fortune letter-turner, Vanna White’s exit looming despite signing a contract through 2026? Her future was uncertain for some time due to contract negotiations.

Wheel Of Fortune Vanna White’s Exit Looming?

The alphabet hasn’t been the same since Vanna White started flipping letters to reveal puzzle answers on Wheel of Fortune in 1982. With her wholesome good looks, sparkling smile and movie star wardrobe, White winningly combines girl-next-door charm and Hollywood glamour. She’s a darn good cheerleader too! It’s made her an American icon. On the eve of taping the final show with retiring longtime host Pat Sajak, she shared memories and mused on what’s next. Do you remember your first day on Wheel? Vanna White: I remember being extremely nervous. It was hard for me to even talk. My mouth was just shaking out of nerves because it was, “I can’t believe this is happening. I’m on a TV show.” What got you through it? Pat. [He said,] “Calm down, it’s going to be Ok.” I was just a little old girl from North Myrtle Beach,...

A contestant kicked off a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune with a bang, so to speak, with a shocking yet humorous response.
Tavaris Williams rose to instant fame when he went head-to-head with his competitors for a $1,000 toss-up round.
The Port St. Lucie, Florida resident had his buzzer in hand, ready to solve the puzzle in the “Phrase” category as veteran tile-turner Vanna White, 67, began revealing letters on the board.
When the puzzle revealed, “_ _ _ _ / I _ / T _ E / B _ _ T!” Tavaris was certain he had the correct solution and tapped his buzzer.
When host Pat Sajak, 77, called on Tavaris to answer, his response sent the studio audience and his challengers into a tizzy and stunned the longtime Wheel of Fortune host.
“Right in the butt?” Tavaris responded, somewhat questioning his response.

Sometimes, things don’t work out the way people might hope on game shows like Wheel of Fortune. That happened this week when one specific player’s answer ended up being Nsfw. The guess not only shocked Pat Sajak but caused another contestant to stop and make sure she heard it right.
Here is what the contestant guessed on the puzzle and the reaction from his opponent.
Man Makes Hilariously Wrong Answer On Wheel Of Fortune
Three contestants prepared for a new puzzle on Wheel of Fortune. This was the first toss-up puzzle of the show on Thursday.

One Wheel of Fortune‘s guess in the latest game left his fellow competitors scratching their heads and plenty of fans laughing as Tavaris responded to a “Phrase” puzzle with, “Right in the butt!” Tavaris’ enthusiastic answer stirred up an audible gasp from the game’s live audience as shock overtook them and even led one of the other players to go, “What?!” Ultimately, host Pat Sajak jumped in to inform Tavaris, “No,” that wasn’t the correct phrase. In the end, Tavaris’ guess wasn’t even the correct amount of characters for the board. Dawg pic.twitter.com/xDBiJq8FuG — Big Cat (@BarstoolBigCat) May 24, 2024 The corresponding phrase turned out to be “This is the best,” which even Tavaris admitted was a “better answer.” While the blunder may have left Tavaris a little shaken, Sajak made sure to let the player know, “You’ve already made an impression on us.

Audience members at the taping of the May 22 edition of Wheel of Fortune were openly disappointed on behalf of finalist Paul Dodson who lost out big-time when faced with a devilishly difficult puzzle. They outright booed when Dodson was unable to complete the puzzle and the answer was revealed to be a near impossible-to-guess word under the category “What Are You Doing?” At that stage of the game a $1 million jackpot was up for grabs. With the usual accompanied R, S, T, L, N, and E, the puzzle board read: “_ _ _ _ _ L _ N _.” Dodson guessed the letters C, H, P, and A, none of which appeared on the board. The final answer was revealed to be “Quibbling” to which the audience first gasped at then proceeded to boo. Dodson, beside host Pat Sajak, encouraged audiences to boo louder, using his arms to ...

Generally, the Wheel Of Fortune long-time host, Pat Sajak, tries to be fair. While he has held down his post for more than four decades, there are times he rubs fans the wrong way with his decisions. Undoubtedly, during a recent episode, some fans were critical of his enforcement of a rule over a minor mistake. Specifically, a small infraction that cost one player a beautiful getaway.
Pat Sajak Comes To Terms With Criticism

Pat Sajak is only a few weeks away from retirement and is showing his softer side as of late, like on Tuesday’s (May 21) Wheel of Fortune, where he sympathized with a contestant after a baffling puzzle blunder. The contestant in question was Brittany Collins, a children’s hospital facilitator and Bingo player from Louisville, Kentucky, who faced off against Susan Meissner from Charleston, South Carolina, and Blake Swoboda from Houston, Texas. Collins looked primed for a successful night when she nailed the $1,000 and $2,000 Tossup puzzles under the “Things” and “Food and Drink” categories. However, she hit a brick wall when she faced what appeared to be an obvious “Phrase” puzzle. The puzzle board read: “A N _ T _ I N G / I S / P O S S I _ _ E.” Instead of choosing to solve, Collins asked for another letter and shockingly selected an “R,” which, of course, was wrong. Wheel...

Wheel of Fortune viewers are taking sides after host Pat Sajak made a judgment call that cost a contestant a trip to Mexico.
Dee Merritt, a Navy sexual assault response coordinator from Portsmouth, Virginia, made her Wheel of Fortune debut last week.
The hopeful contestant faced off against her competitors, Kerry Ruiz, a wellness studio co-owner from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Amanda Morris, a billiards player from Wilmington, North Carolina.
All three contestants were given the opportunity to solve a puzzle during the Express Round in the Phrase category.
The six-word phrase on the board read “_ N O _ _ / I T / O _ T / O F / T H E / _ _ _ _,” and Dee was the first to buzz in, confident she could solve the puzzle correctly.
“I would like to solve,” Dee told host Pat Sajak. “Knock it out the park!”

An unlucky Wheel of Fortune contestant cost themselves a trip to Mexico after missing one tiny two-letter word from their spoken answer. Now many fans are saying that the ruling was “too tough” and “unfair.” Last Thursday’s (May 16) episode saw a face-off between Kerry Ruiz, a wellness studio co-owner from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Amanda Morris, a billiards player from Wilmington, North Carolina, and Dee Merritt, a Navy sexual assault response coordinator from Portsmouth, Virginia. During the Express Round, the three contestants were faced with a six-word “Phrase” puzzle that read, “_ N O _ _ / I T / O _ T / O F / T H E / _ _ _ _.” Merritt was first to take a guess at solving the puzzle, answering, “Knock it out the park.” At first glance her answer seemed completely correct to many viewers. But it wasn’t precise enough. “I’m sorry,” host Pat Sajak responded as the buzzer sounded to indicate Merritt was incorrect.

Wheel of Fortune fans are up in arms over one of the game show’s rules, and they’re calling on producers to implement some major changes.
The popular weeknight game show has operated with the same rules for almost 50 years.
One rule, in particular, though, has Wheel watchers griping online because they feel it gives contestants an unfair advantage.
If a contestant wins a trip during their appearance, the value of the trip is credited to their overall winnings as a cash dollar amount.
This means the player not only walks away with an all-expenses-paid trip but is also awarded the dollar amount—something that doesn’t sit well with Wheel of Fortune viewers.
A critic who considers this rule to be unfair gameplay took to Reddit recently to voice their opinions in a post titled, “I wish the money won for trips weren’t added with their cash wins.

Happy anniversary to the Writers Guild of America strike! On May 2, 2023, Hollywood writers officially put their pencils down in an effort to bring compensation closer in line with the revenues generated by their movies and TV shows. A steadfast refusal by studios to engage with writers on some issues led the strike to be prolonged, and eventually, the Screen Actors Guild joined the work stoppage as well.

A recent episode of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune saw Krysten Ritter fail to solve a puzzle even though only two letters were needed to complete the board. When she lost out on the chance, she admitted that she had no idea who Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce — the answer on the board — were. Even more shocking, none of the contestants knew who the brothers were.
Here is what went down and how fans reacted to the moment.
Krysten Ritter Has No Idea Who Travis Kelce Is
Jessica Jones star Krysten Ritter competed on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune this week and failed to win one round, even though every letter was in place other than two. The board read “Travis & Jason *el*e.” Ritter stared at the board and had no idea what the answer was. Pat Sajak told her to go ahead and spin if she was still stuck.

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak harshly criticized his future successor, Ryan Seacrest.
Following Pat’s June 2023 announcement that he would be retiring as the host of Wheel of Fortune after a 40-year run, viewers learned that Ryan would be taking over beginning with Season 42.
As Pat, 77, finishes out final season on Wheel of Fortune, Ryan has been dealing with some personal issues.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Ryan, 49, and his girlfriend of three years, Aubrey Paige Petcosky, 26, broke up last month.
“After three beautiful years together, Ryan and Aubrey have mutually decided to part ways,” a source told People of their breakup, adding that the former couple plans to “stay in each other’s lives as good friends and support one another’s endeavors.”
Current Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak caught wind of the news, and according to a source, he isn’t surprised, given his opinion of Ryan.

While Pat Sajak is retiring from Wheel of Fortune next month, Drew Carey has no intention of giving up his The Price Is Right hosting duties any time soon, if ever! Carey took over the The Price is Right in 2007 following the retirement of legendary host Bob Barker, who passed away at the age of 99 last August after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. It’s a role the 65-year-old comedian still cherishes and hopes to hold onto forever. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the CBS Fall Schedule Celebration last week, Carey was asked how much longer he thinks he’ll stay on as Price Is Right host. “I’ll say, for the record, I wanna die on stage with a microphone in my hand,” he said, confirming that he doesn’t intend on going anywhere.

The saying goes that good things come to those who wait, and that was definitely true for one Wheel of Fortune contestant on Friday night (May 3). On Friday’s episode, Tracy McBride, a mother of one from Greenville, South Carolina, told host Pat Sajak that she’d been trying to get on the show for 28 years. “When’s the first time you tried to get on this show?” Sajak asked. “20 years ago,” McBride replied before correcting herself. “I take that back. 28 years ago! I tried at the age of 20.” “Wow,” Sajak responded. “But you haven’t been trying all those 20 years?” “Periodically, I would update my information, and I’m here through faith and perseverance; I made it,” McBride continued as the studio audience cheered. “We’ve been waiting for ya,” Sajak added. “I told ’em, I said, ‘I’m not leaving until Tracy gets here.'” View this post...

A Wheel of Fortune contestant opted for the wrong letter, and it cost her big time.
Kimberly Wright from Apopka, Florida, appeared on the long-running game show, and it appeared that she had a win in the bag.
Kimberly was going to work on a puzzle in the “Living Thing” category, and everything was going well until she made a mistake that left her short of more than $7,000.
After Kimberly’s spin landed on a $3,500 wheel wedge, she opted for the letter “P,” bringing up multiple Ps worth $7,450 and a puzzle that read, “D U _ _ – _ _ L L E D Platypus.”
When host Pat Sajak asked Kimberly what she wanted to do, she chose to spin yet again.
This time, Kimberly landed on the “Express $1,000” wedge, requiring her to call another letter.
When Kimberly told Pat she would be calling the letter “F,” the live audience immediately groaned, realizing that “F” was not on the board,...

Drew Carey believes the late Bob Barker made a mistake regarding his time hosting The Price Is Right, and he doesn’t plan on repeating it.
After Barker retired, the 65-year-old actor and comedian took over the game show’s hosting duties in 2007.
That’s given Carey 17 years of experience hosting the popular game show, which features popular price-guessing games like Plinko and Wheel spins for big money.
There’s also the memorable Showcase Showdown round, which offers some sweet prize packages, and some contestants surprise Carey and the viewers with their bids.
Carey recently commented on his longevity as the game show’s host and discussed how long he plans to continue with the gig.
In addition, he spoke about another celebrity who is taking over for a longtime game show host.

Ryan Seacrest will take over the helm hosting Wheel of Fortune later this year, but fans of the show think someone else would do a better job filling Pat Sajak’s shoes.
As Monsters and Critics previously reported, Pat Sajak announced his retirement earlier this year.
Season 41 will be Pat’s final one as the longtime host of Wheel of Fortune, and this fall, Ryan will take over, beginning with Season 42.
Although Ryan has plenty of experience as a TV host, some critics think another well-known television personality would be better suited for the job.
In a recent Reddit thread, one Wheel of Fortune viewer made a bold proclamation when they posted, “Joel McHale > Ryan Seacrest.”
“I don’t know if he was in the running for Pat’s replacement, but I think Joel McHale (Card Sharks) would have been a great pick…” Redditor u/baracuda68 wrote in the caption.
