'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune': Vanna White to Return as Host
The Big Picture After the sudden exit of stalwart host Pat Sajak from the long-running weekday primetime game show Wheel of Fortune, fans of the series were left wondering whether Sajak's cohost Vanna White was also set to exit the series. However, it looks White will at the very least continue her role in some capacity, as she has just inked a deal to return as host for the spinoff, so to speak, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
White's current contract for the main Wheel of Fortune series is still up in the air, though her current contract runs through 2024. Her cohost, Sajak, announced his departure from the series this June, in a decision that came as a shock to many. Sajak's replacement was quickly procured, however, and Ryan Seacrest was announced to host only a few weeks after Sajak's announced departure.
A Spinning Wheel The decision to quickly replace Sajak was likely strategic, as to avoid any chaos similar to what Wheel of Fortune's time slot neighbor series, Jeopardy, faced when searching for a new host. Sajak will still serve as host for the upcoming 41st season of the show, however, Seacrest will take over during Season 42, and he will also serve as a consulting producer on the series. The game show has been renewed through Season 45.
No decision has been made regarding White's contract for the main series, however, her presence has become an integral part of the series as a whole, and her role would perhaps be even more difficult to fill than Sajak's. White joined the show in 1982, over 40 years ago. Both Wheel of Fortune and its celebrity version are produced by Sony Pictures Television, which also produces Jeopardy.
