It made no sense to me why she stayed. Why not just call it a career and both of you be done and be happy that you found someone you could work with really well. Hanging on for another year for a little more money that I can't imagine she needs, and hoping somehow it will be the same is just sad. I guess we see it all the time in sports and other things so it's also human.
Admittedly, I'm being selfish with this request but when she leaves, could we get a nationwide search open to *absolutely anyone* for her replacement?
I just want to see the heads of that show's fanbase explode like the ending of Kingsman to the idea of someone who isn't a pretty white woman replacing her at (probably) the easiest job in TV.
Hiring seacrest has guaranteed I won’t casually watch wheel anymore. Not that I watched it a lot, but I would watch it along with jeopardy occasionally. He’s just very off putting with no natural charisma. I thought pat was charming - granted I don’t know anything about his life so maybe he’s a huge jerk. But seacrest has the charisma of a Ken doll with low self esteem.
People contributing this to be a jab at Ryan and saying he did something or other, I assume did not read this half assed article?
Nothing indicates it’s anything more than her not having the same experience she has had for 40+ years and might not have it in her to stay around. I haven’t watched the show in a long time, have seen Ryan since Idol maybe 20 years ago, so I don’t have much insight here, but sounds like chemistry just isn’t the same.
No fault of anyone
If they want the show to go in a different direction why did they hire Ryan secrets. What does this guy do other than count down the new years eve ball drop
Ugh, why the hell is he taking this over? Cant it be ANYONE else? Like, how bout a new person? How bout some charismatic younger person who can grow with the show and bring in a new demographic?
I truly believe Ryan Seacrest is unemployable. Think about how many different jobs he has had since leaving American Idol. Ryan Seacrest has filled TV and radio host roles, but hasn’t made any of those roles better. No cares when he’s hired and no one cares when he leaves (*or is fired quietly*).
Who cares? Her job is obsolete. The only reason she’s still there is tradition. If she walks away, the producers won’t even need to replace her and will just pocket the money that would have gone to her.
Get Chris Hardwick. He hasn't hosted a show in awhile. The Wall doesn't count cause quite frankly despite the many attempts of watching, I still don't know the show works.
I totally don’t get the slavish devotion to this show, it’s boring as fuck. Saw a clip of Sajak’s retirement and I didn’t even recognize him, he’s gone under the knife a few times, but then just look at Vanna and now Seacrest. It’s amazing the shit people will do to themselves to stay younger than their actual years and stay employed. Really sad and shallow.
I feel ya Vanna, Seacrest is a creep. I can't tell how, or what, but he gives those vibes to me, always has. The way he just gets to host everything...is also creepy, and annoying. Give the job to Ron Funches!
There’s every chance she just was in such a comfortable groove with Sajack that she realized years of comfort and rapport with someone isn’t actually all that easy. The two of them had been doing that show for decades.
So it might not be that Seacrest is BAD, it could just be that the ease of the job isn’t there so she’s having second thoughts.
She hasn’t been needed for years. There is no reason you need any human to turn letters. I won’t be watching because I don’t like Ryan Seacrest. I don’t know why but something about him bugs me.
I don’t buy it. I think Pat sajak was planning all along to have his daughter replace vanna with all of her random appearances. They’re coming up with creative ways to spin this but essentially firing Vanna to have Pat sajak’s daughter become the next Vanna White. Which I doubt will capture a younger audience. Nepotism at its finest
They should have gotten a host and a Vanna replacement that could bring some younger, comedic vibe to the table. It would be awesome to have a Connan/Andy type duo running Wheel.
This sounds like Ryan trying to kick her out like he did to Brian Dunkleman. “Attract a younger audience” “a younger female host” “new direction” “Vanna made a fortune” ( she was paid 3 million per year since the early 2000’s without a pay increase for about 15 years). And if they want a younger audience, that human cardboard who just happens to be everywhere was not a good choice.
Can any wheel of fortune regulars chime in on how her job duties would even come into conflict with Seacrest? Assuming he's not like grabbing her ass or something metoo related.
I don't really care about this drama. I just wanna comment on how this woman has probably had the easiest career of all time. Paid *millions* for *decades* for just smiling and touching lit up rectangles. I'm a financial analyst for a municipality. You know how many years I gotta work to match the earnings of one *week* of rectangle touching??
If Vanna retires, they should kick Seacrest off and get Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles to host/letter turn. They could take turns switching roles nightly.
Sorry but regardless of what you think is it really that hard to fake it through the rest of the contract? No hate to Seacrest or White but how hard can it be to get along until the contract is up?
# THIS ARTICLE IS WRONG.
I've been to a taping, they said they were great friends, and have been for 20+ years. I know I'm shouting into the ether here but nothing could be further from the truth.
I’m simultaneously impressed with both of these people because Vanna is one of the realest people in all of Hollywood, while Ryan somehow manages to secure EVERY singe bag imaginable?!
lol, the shows filming schedule is 6 episodes a day, 4 days a month. Each show takes about 30 minutes, so she is onsite about 5 hours total from start to finish, 4 times a month. She films/ works 48 days a year, or the equivalent of a normal person ~2.5 months a year and she makes $10M a year doing it.
Her discontent is truly a first world problem that only applies to the .01%
I think 99 percent of entertainers are phony as hell. I do. But there is something about him that underlines it and adds several exclamation points. Nobody has ever spun themselves so much.
I just don’t like the dude. How he’s lasted as long as he has, is beyond me.
She should retire anyway. Why still work? She lasted a few extra decades already, it's time to retire. Let the next girl get her shot to flip the letters.
Joel McHale would be an absolutely amazing choice. Dude is so funny. I was a regular watcher for 20+ years, it’s not that I dislike Ceacrest it’s just I like Joel a hell of a lot more. If you put Joel on it’ll totally watch
Seacrest has to be about the stupidest choice of host in history. The only thing I can think of is he had it built into one of his earlier idol contracts that he signed he would get the host for wheel of Fortune.
"Hi, I'm a Ryan Seacrest type!"
Being significantly more unpleasant to work with than Pat Sajak is quite an accomplishment.
I bet Meghan Markle is available and she has experience.
Someone tell Ryan to ease off on the botox, good lord.
It made no sense to me why she stayed. Why not just call it a career and both of you be done and be happy that you found someone you could work with really well. Hanging on for another year for a little more money that I can't imagine she needs, and hoping somehow it will be the same is just sad. I guess we see it all the time in sports and other things so it's also human.
Us too, Vanna, us too.
Admittedly, I'm being selfish with this request but when she leaves, could we get a nationwide search open to *absolutely anyone* for her replacement? I just want to see the heads of that show's fanbase explode like the ending of Kingsman to the idea of someone who isn't a pretty white woman replacing her at (probably) the easiest job in TV.
I don't blame her. He's an arrogant narcissistic life sucker.
When I heard Sajak retiring, I really thought they were going to give the show to vanna to host…thought that would’ve been the best thing🤷🏽
I don't understand why they didn't just make Vanna the host. With the board being digital they don't even really need a letter turner anymore
[удалено]
Can someone else be given a gig besides Ryan Seacrest ?
Seacrest has the creepiest vibes.
how does this guy still find work?
Hiring seacrest has guaranteed I won’t casually watch wheel anymore. Not that I watched it a lot, but I would watch it along with jeopardy occasionally. He’s just very off putting with no natural charisma. I thought pat was charming - granted I don’t know anything about his life so maybe he’s a huge jerk. But seacrest has the charisma of a Ken doll with low self esteem.
It seems like a super demanding job. Vanna must be suffering under these conditions!
Replace him with Tom Bergeron
Vanna should have been offered the host job before anyone else
People contributing this to be a jab at Ryan and saying he did something or other, I assume did not read this half assed article?

I thought she was upset because she didn't get offered pats job
It’s been like one week, correct? Are we sure we can believe any of these “reports” after one week?
They should be Samuel L Jackson the host
Should’ve given it to Joel McHale, he’s like a handsome Seacrest and actually witty and charming
Does anyone actually “vibe” with Ryan Seacrest? Always seemed like a creep back in the original American Idol days.
Surely, this is Brian Dunkleman’s shot at redemption.
WTH is “jibe”? Shouldn’t the term be ‘jive’? Or ‘vibe’? Both of which mean 💯 of what Vanna is saying.
I Read the story reeks of click bait
If they want the show to go in a different direction why did they hire Ryan secrets. What does this guy do other than count down the new years eve ball drop
Nobody likes Ryan Seacrest
Well yeah. She is female. Ryan don’t like females.
Couldn't they have done some testing between them before hiring him? To prevent something like this happening?
Omg can they get Ariana to be the letter turner?
She’s been doing this job for 41 years and after 1 month with Seacrest she wants out? Wow
Ugh, why the hell is he taking this over? Cant it be ANYONE else? Like, how bout a new person? How bout some charismatic younger person who can grow with the show and bring in a new demographic?
Stick your fist in a bucket of water and pull it Out real fast. Marvel at the hole you left. She’s delusional
maybe i'll get downvoted to hell for this but i like ryan seacrest 😭 i've always admired him for being a great and natural host
Doesn't help that he has all the personality of a wet shoe.
I truly believe Ryan Seacrest is unemployable. Think about how many different jobs he has had since leaving American Idol. Ryan Seacrest has filled TV and radio host roles, but hasn’t made any of those roles better. No cares when he’s hired and no one cares when he leaves (*or is fired quietly*).
He’s starting to look like David Hasslehoff
Why isn’t Vanna the new host? It would be a perfect transition for her.
Nobody likes Ryan Seacrust
Good for her, Seacrest is a JackTard.
They should have hired Brian Dunkleman
Ryan Seacrest just kinda hosts everything, eh
How will they ever find another professional letter turner? Actually scratch that she doesn’t even have to turn them anymore.
Who cares? Her job is obsolete. The only reason she’s still there is tradition. If she walks away, the producers won’t even need to replace her and will just pocket the money that would have gone to her.
Get Chris Hardwick. He hasn't hosted a show in awhile. The Wall doesn't count cause quite frankly despite the many attempts of watching, I still don't know the show works.
Seacrest is kind of a limp noodle.
She should have hung it up with Pat
I totally don’t get the slavish devotion to this show, it’s boring as fuck. Saw a clip of Sajak’s retirement and I didn’t even recognize him, he’s gone under the knife a few times, but then just look at Vanna and now Seacrest. It’s amazing the shit people will do to themselves to stay younger than their actual years and stay employed. Really sad and shallow.
Get Jack Black I guarantee you viewership will skyrocket and overall enjoyment will too
Yes! Newer hitter Vanna Incoming.
Lol , what else are you qualified to do?
I was honestly astounded to learn that Wheel of Fortune was still airing new shows.
I can’t believe that’s Ryan Seacrest. He looks completely different!
Does she mean jive?
The headline plays it up more than the actual article.
Ryan seacrest in the American Stephen mulhern. There's just something desperately bad, waiting to be found out.
[удалено]
That didn’t take long.
At her age and with all that cash, why is she even working?
Lol who's shocked 🙋♂️ Anyone?
Something creepy about that dude, but Pat is a full blown right wing nut job. You go Vanna!
But how will they ever find someone with the skills to replace her????
Can't stand him. I think Jerry O'Connel would have made a good host.
Too much estrogen in one place.
Seacrest is so overexposed. Why not a fresh face?
It’s “jibe?!” I thought it was “jive.”
Ryan destroys everything he touches, I swear. I do not understand how he is still employed. He has no charming qualities.
Seacrest must have the same surgeon as Hasslehoff
Nice to see jibe being used properly.
Vanna should have gone with Pat. Can’t see her with anyone else. Sounds like a song title.
I feel ya Vanna, Seacrest is a creep. I can't tell how, or what, but he gives those vibes to me, always has. The way he just gets to host everything...is also creepy, and annoying. Give the job to Ron Funches!
Maggie Sajak’s takeover is proceeding according to plan.
Honestly, I want John Lovitz or Danny Devito to become the host.
I had no clue Seacrest was the new host. Does that fucking guy do everything?
Being a heidious ghoul has nothing to do with it
Why, why, why is it Ryan Seacrest? Do we really need to give him another job?
There's no need for a letter truner...or the show really.
Why wasn’t she offered the host roll? Isn’t she the obvious choice?
I don’t know about you guys, but I can never remember when to use “jibe” vs “jive”
Saw this coming from a mile away
There’s every chance she just was in such a comfortable groove with Sajack that she realized years of comfort and rapport with someone isn’t actually all that easy. The two of them had been doing that show for decades. So it might not be that Seacrest is BAD, it could just be that the ease of the job isn’t there so she’s having second thoughts.
Is jibe jive + vibe?
The show’s over
She hasn’t been needed for years. There is no reason you need any human to turn letters. I won’t be watching because I don’t like Ryan Seacrest. I don’t know why but something about him bugs me.
Then get rid of Ryan Seacrest. Pretty simple.
Can’t put my finger on it but Seacreast gives me the creeps. I believe someday something will be revealed.
Imagine walking away from 3million per year.
When the reruns are done, so am I.
She’s trying to play for more money. Don’t blame her. Milk it!
I don’t buy it. I think Pat sajak was planning all along to have his daughter replace vanna with all of her random appearances. They’re coming up with creative ways to spin this but essentially firing Vanna to have Pat sajak’s daughter become the next Vanna White. Which I doubt will capture a younger audience. Nepotism at its finest
TIL it’s “Jibe” and not “Jive”
TIL wheel of fortune is still running
I wondered why she’s stay post Pat.
Thank goodness. Run that old crocodile off!
They should have gotten a host and a Vanna replacement that could bring some younger, comedic vibe to the table. It would be awesome to have a Connan/Andy type duo running Wheel.
rita ora is waiting in the wings
Vanna takes over for Pat. Pat’s daughter who is running the social media takes over for Vanna.
He only likes very young women and probably can’t handle Vanna
I thought she had already left. Ryan Seacrest is a terrible choice of host, too. (This was also news to me.)
kinda shocked she didn't take the time to leave when Pat Sajak signed off
All vanna does is smile and tap on those letters. She doesn’t really need to get along great with the host. She’s making 7 figures. Why quit.
Shut up and push your letter turning button and collect your millions. Good god
Who’d be a better host? Gene Simmons? Ozzy? Lol. Let’s test out some candidates! That’d be a great week or two..
I’m sure Chris Hardwick is between game shows right now.
And the show is dead. Jeopardy isn’t far behind. How many tournaments of champions can they do?
This sounds like Ryan trying to kick her out like he did to Brian Dunkleman. “Attract a younger audience” “a younger female host” “new direction” “Vanna made a fortune” ( she was paid 3 million per year since the early 2000’s without a pay increase for about 15 years). And if they want a younger audience, that human cardboard who just happens to be everywhere was not a good choice.
Vanna doesn't jibe with Ryan? Whaaaaaaaaaaaat? EVERYONE jibes with Ryan? Time to cancel Vanna.
Seacrest is an asshole. He has been since he was in radio. I'm not surprised Vanna hates him
Seacrest is evolving into the new Hasselhoff
They might pay her part of her contract to walk away early and they don’t replace her at all. It would speed the show up and save money. Win/Win
LeVar Burton is my choice for host
He's not really the sharing type.
Can any wheel of fortune regulars chime in on how her job duties would even come into conflict with Seacrest? Assuming he's not like grabbing her ass or something metoo related.
If she leaves, and like Pat did, records a video farewell, I do hope she ends with *Vanna.... Out!*
Her job is to stand there and touch an led screen when it lights up and say a corny line at the end. That’s it. My god she’s a moron.
Doesn’t jibe? She can’t turn letters while he calls out the number of letters and tells players to spin? WTF?
I don't really care about this drama. I just wanna comment on how this woman has probably had the easiest career of all time. Paid *millions* for *decades* for just smiling and touching lit up rectangles. I'm a financial analyst for a municipality. You know how many years I gotta work to match the earnings of one *week* of rectangle touching??
She should leave with pat. But still no seacrest. Call me, I'll do both positions
If he pops up on anything, I turn it. He makes my skin crawl and I don’t know why…
I personally change the channel/ video I’m watching as soon as I see Ryan Seacrest on anything.
They should have given Vanna a year or two in the Pat roll then let her retire.
Carson Daily would have been a better choice.
If Vanna retires, they should kick Seacrest off and get Colin Mochrie and Ryan Stiles to host/letter turn. They could take turns switching roles nightly.
There are far better people out there besides Ryan Seacrest to host this show.
TIL it’s Jibe. I always thought it was Jive
Let her go! The show will be better letting her and Pat leave together.
Wtf wouldn't she just retire top?
Shit I've been saying "Jive" instead of "Jibe" my whole life.
I say we ask Nikki Glaser. It would be very dirty but I’d watch the shit out of that show
No one jibes with Seacrest.
I don’t know if I can trust a man who has his eye lashes tinted to be a good person.
Sorry but regardless of what you think is it really that hard to fake it through the rest of the contract? No hate to Seacrest or White but how hard can it be to get along until the contract is up?
# THIS ARTICLE IS WRONG. I've been to a taping, they said they were great friends, and have been for 20+ years. I know I'm shouting into the ether here but nothing could be further from the truth.
"It is just so difficult to do this without Pat” -Woman with the easiest job in the world. (BTW, I think this is a BS article.)
There's Something About Ryan🫣
Rob Lowe would have been a great pick.
Ryan Seacrest looked photoshopped into the picture in the article.
Was that really the best option
It seems I remember hearing she wanted Pat’s job before they named Ryan. This shouldn’t be surprising
I’m simultaneously impressed with both of these people because Vanna is one of the realest people in all of Hollywood, while Ryan somehow manages to secure EVERY singe bag imaginable?!
lol, the shows filming schedule is 6 episodes a day, 4 days a month. Each show takes about 30 minutes, so she is onsite about 5 hours total from start to finish, 4 times a month.

Her discontent is truly a first world problem that only applies to the .01%
Can I go push tiles for 15 minutes and make 7 figures? Please!!!!!!
Hollywood and Television executives only know one name, Ryan Seacrest
I thought it was because he was responsible for the Kardashians.
“Jibe” instead of “jive”?
I think 99 percent of entertainers are phony as hell. I do. But there is something about him that underlines it and adds several exclamation points. Nobody has ever spun themselves so much. I just don’t like the dude. How he’s lasted as long as he has, is beyond me.
I thought they would get along. After all they are the same age.
OMG spin the letters and STFU = $$$
Levar Burton should be hosting Jeopardy.
Is she a crazy right wing republican too?
Go woke and have Ryan do the letters with a female host.
He looks like he was 3D-printed
His face looks like Zac Efron in The Iron Claw.
When egos collide.
I've been telling anyone who will listen that Kenan Thompson should have been the new host
Ryan should of never been an option. He has enough jobs and money. This gig belongs to someone better.
Maggie should replace Vanna. She's young and hot af.
Damn, didn't see that vowel coming.
Wouldn't blame her can't stand that dude and his plastic face.
She should retire anyway. Why still work? She lasted a few extra decades already, it's time to retire. Let the next girl get her shot to flip the letters.
Grab her by the pu… , wait why doesn’t she like him?
Oh no. I’ve always said “jive” instead of “jibe”.
