This is actually a charming little interview. She knows she isn’t needed to turn the letters, she acknowledges that she just enjoys doing the show and isn’t ready to retire, she doesn’t seem to have any illusions about her job. Good for her.

I think Ryan Seacrest has done quite well so far. Very friendly demeanor and banter with the contestants. Vanna is part of the it whether she’s needed or not.

Next there will be a hard hitting interview with Ed McMahon revealing that the Tonight Show didn’t really need him.

She is smart. People act all shocked when they find out how much less she got paid than Pat. Maybe she could have negotiated for a big salary and got it, but how long would that last? She knows the show doesn’t need her, and they would have certainly let her go at some point. OR, she could happily accept 3 million dollars year after year for about 6 weeks of work.

I’m barely interested in watching since Sajek left and got replaced by Kim Kardashian’s bestie. Removing Vanna would remove the soul of the show.

It doesn’t need her, but its a good paycheck I’m sure.

You’re wrong about that one, Vanna.
America needs you now more than ever 🦅

This sub can act pretty weird about Vanna White sometimes.
It’s just a game show. None of it matters. None of it is necessary. But she’s been a part of it since the 80s. There are definitely people who enjoy and appreciate that she’s on it lol.
StoneColdAM on
If she retires, would they find a new co-host or just have Ryan Seacrest do everything?
Hank_Scorpio_ObGyn on
The board doesn’t need her but she’s an ambassador of the show.
You think of Wheel of Fortune and you *know* Vanna White will be “turning” the letters.
The show will lose something without Vanna.

It’s OK Vanna, neither do we really need Wheel of Fortune

I get the money aspect but wish she would have retired with Pat. She just reminds me of how much better it used to be.

They shouldve made her host and then gotten new letter girl/guy

It’s nice when someone in a job we would all love to have is content and doesn’t crave more.

Without Vanna, the show may as well be one of those generic game shows you see on the late night cable TV.
The entire reason this show has gone on so long was people grew up with Pat & Vanna, and it is comforting to watch them on TV.

When she retires she should be replaced with a sexy humanoid robot

How dare Vanna White speak about Vanna White that way! Vanna White is a national treasure, and she would be wise to remember that.

Sure didn’t need Pat Sajak’s openly evil ass

Vanna was a f*king gift and they should be happy as hell they had her.

I mean same could be said about the host themselves especially wheel of fortune. They could be given just a screen telling them when they get to spin and stuff

Can you imagine the show without her?? Yeah, she doesn’t need to turn the letters, but an automated board doesn’t have any soul. She’s an important part of the show

They haven’t needed her since they made the letter board digital instead of those manual turnaround letters.
Shaggarooney on
Who cares? Pretty woman turns letter boxes. Its part of the show. A human element, if you will. Just watching boxes turn by themselves is very cold and meh. Seeing someone wish you luck, and take actual part in the reveal is something.
Its the little things that make up that quality of good show. Take them away and replace them with automation, and it losing something.
There should always be a hot girl turning the letters on wheel.

What’s funny, a while ago they had Pat Sajak’s daughter Maggie sub in for Vanna temporarily, and it was clear that Vanna’s job requires so much skill and practice we don’t realize.
Maggie wasn’t terrible, but she hesitated, lost track of the letters sometimes, stumbled frequently. Vanna had smooth, practiced transition between the letters, no hesitation, looked like second nature, all while giving the human touch to the game board that her role is supposed to give. Didn’t realize it until I compared her to someone new to the job.
Vanna’s really, really good at her job and it wouldn’t feel right to watch Wheel without her.

The show technically hasn’t needed Vanna since the mid-90’s.
The various international versions also don’t need a Vanna, but they still have their own versions anyway.

She is key to the vibes.

I noticed that when the NES version of wheel of Fortune came out in the last 1980s. If they can change the letters on the screen in a video game,they could change the letters on a screen in real life.
Once the letters were no longer physically turned, but electronic, she technically became unnecessary.

What are they going to do?
It’s bad enough that a felon is running for president.

I remember when the letters were physically turned around. I think it’s a fake touch screen now.
