Vanna White will be missing (https://www.tvinsider.com/1102014/vanna-white-wheel-of-fortune-negotiations/) from a handful (https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/heres-why-vanna-white-absent-001251626.html) of 'Wheel of Fortune' episodes as she contracted COVID-19 in late July.

I heard about this and the actual reason why Vanna White is not gonna be on Wheel Of Fortune is because she really isn't ill but she is battling with the producers for a bigger money raise because she is very unhappy with her current salary and they have refused to give it to her. What I can see is when Pat Sajak leaves Wheel Of Fortune they will also replace Vanna White as well with someone new. Because when you look at it Vanna White is truly a wonderful cohost on Wheel Of Fortune and she is the main reason why Wheel Of Fortune is still surviving. But if Vanna White does indeed leave Wheel Of Fortune the show will get low ratings. I can imagine what Wheel Of Fortune's ratings will look like when Ryan Seacrest makes his debut next year

I don't watch Wheel of Fortune on a regular basis, only watch occasionally. Vanna White has been on WOF now for 40 years. She probably is paid a good salary, but frankly if I had the job I would be bored stiff after 5 years. All that walking and turning letters isn't the most educational job. You would think she want to do something else. I know she did a movie decades ago and it was flop.

Yes Vanna White played the mythical Greek love goddess Aphrodite in a TV movie, and I remember seeing some clips of it and the dialogue is laughably bad. As an actress, Vanna White makes a terrific game show hostess. That's to say her acting was terrible. I can't imagine how that movie got made and once it was, why on earth it was allowed to air! :rolleyes::lol:

They should......She has been with them since the start!!!
I hope it works out for her............
