Angels—— “Wheel of Fortune” co-host Vanna White’s contract has been extended for another two years, producers announced Tuesday, meaning she will remain on the show through the 2025-2026 season.
The news comes one week after the premiere of Season 41, the final season for longtime host Pat Sajak, who announced his retirement this summer.
Beginning in early 2024, White will work alongside TV personality Ryan Seacrest, who will serve as the new host of “Wheel.”
White and Sajak have co-hosted syndicated game shows for four decades. Sajak began writing “Wheel” in 1981, succeeding Chuck Woolery. Vanna White joined the show in 1982 and since then the pair have become some of the most recognizable faces on broadcast television.
The game show began as a daytime game show but became a nighttime syndicated television show in 1983, with contestants trying to fill in words and phrases by guessing letters in pursuit of money and prizes.
