When inquired about her concerns regarding her dynamic with Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White openly expressed some apprehensions as they embarked on their collaboration in “Wheel of Fortune.” Although White had been acquainted with Seacrest for approximately two decades, she was uncertain about establishing the same connection she shared with Pat Sajak, her long-standing co-host.
During an interview on CBS Sunday Mornings, Vanna discussed the challenges of adjusting to a new co-host. She reflected on her lengthy tenure with Pat Sajak, noting how their enduring collaboration resulted in a seamless rapport, something she was unsure could be replicated with Ryan.
Despite her initial reservations, Vanna was reassured by Ryan’s commendable performance in his new role. Ryan Seacrest paid homage to Pat Sajak in one of his final appearances in June, penning a heartfelt tribute to the veteran host and expressing his best wishes for Sajak’s retirement.
Last summer, Vanna faced a contract negotiation issue that cast doubts on her continuation with the show. Eventually, both parties reached an agreement, confirming her stay for at least another season.
Ryan Seacrest’s debut as the new host of “Wheel of Fortune” is scheduled for broadcast on Monday, September 9. This episode will allow viewers a chance to witness the new interaction between Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest as they commence their fresh journey on the beloved game show.
