Vanna White MISSING on Wheel of Fortune for First Time in 30 Years

There can be only One Vanna White 🌹🥰👍🙏💜😁

Not only is she a kind person...but she's also very, very smart. I think all of us could eventually become bored and complacent working the same job years after year after year. Regardless of the money being paid. We have seen again and again a famous actor or actress leave a great show...a show that put them on the map and gave them a career.... but they LEAVE to go "make it" on their own...to become a STAR....and they fail miserably, and forever regret their decision. A smart person, in this here-today-gone-tomorrow industry, does not walk away from a solid opportunity like that. That's just plain stupid. God knows you will have plenty of time to pursue other interests in due time. So, not only is Vana smart and very well-liked, she is also a grateful person and appreciates her career success. You don't turn your back on the one who butters your bread, certainly not in Hollywood of 2023. She will indeed get her raise. Not because she's demanding it, she will get it because she is deserving of it, and the production is LUCKY to have her.

It's good to hear that she's OK. What I first heard was that she saw a toddler on the side of the freeway and that's how she disappeared and a Whita Van took Vanna White

[linniem]

Vanna should get her pay raise. She has been dedicated for many years.

[saltywench]

You forgot about the time they tried to fire her. I think because she was pregnant? Or maybe because someone thought she was too old. Everyone in america had a FIT, and they kept her on.

[anthonyfreeman]

I’m impressed. That is quite a feat, being at the office every day of work. What a Babe!!

[jescis]

I don't think I was surprised… but I was surprised hearing about her missing a taping of the show! But she's still only human and getting sick, in one form or fashion, isn't anything against her! I still love her! I hope they don't cement Bryan though! Maybe have auditions?🤔🤔😮😮 I'm 46 now and I practically grew up with Pat Sajack and Vanna White! I hope when Sajack retires, he does it like Bob Barker who RIP was brought back some times… especially for his birthday! 😁😁
Also I remember when they made the board touch screens, Vanna White was getting carpel tunnel in her wrist when she was using the older puzzle board, so they made it those touch screen TVs! She'll be fine!

I loved the Wheel of Fortune! At least us guys we’re watching the letter turning or button to push. It the beautiful woman in the elegant gown turning the letters. Vana was in an episode of Married with Children. She was a millionaire who knew Al from high school and offered his wife, Peggy millions of dollars to divorce Al so he could be with her. If a Vana White, back in the 80s wanted me, and she offered my wife millions to let me be with her…. I couldn’t do it. I love my wife and my two little kids. It would be a bit tough. 😆. My wife looks just like Jennifer Love Hewitt. There has even been people who thought she Was her when we would vacation around the country and abroad

[thedocofrock]

been watching wheel since the start. love pat - his dry sense of humor is what i like the most and he's just a likeable guy. looks like my wheel days are over. seacrest is an absolute tool and completely unwatchable. kelley and ryan ? i called it the narcissists live. all they could do was talk about themselves. i this i that. worst daytime show on tv except for the view

[voozoo]

Pay this beautiful, beautiful lady MORE, MORE, MORE!! Fun fact: She is 1/2 LATINA & the other half, well, "WHITE"!! I kid you NOT!!

[JoshuaRicamonte-croh]

A year before the movie scarface
The TV show called wheel of fortune hits the small screen

[ThisSideGlassbottle]

She posed for Playboy and was a Guest for WWF Wrestlemania 4

[bojest]

A truly stimulating career (c'mon people)

[stephen]

Ryan Seacrest???? HATE THAT GUY!!! How's he going to smile for the contestants with silicone face!!

[koolblue]

Time to retire. Ryan Seacrest is a terrible decision to be host. Mr. Bland.

[Reneemfenn]

She needs back pay, bc she has received significantly less than the host.
(Maybe since she’s a women?)
Can’t have a show only with one person, and we are dependent on her gorgeous smile!

Hosts come and go, but there’s only one VANNA WHITE

[TT-biwu]

Sounds ungrateful for somebody’s sole purpose is to turn letters

[ch-Ivy]

Vanna gives great vowel and has a sweet comma between her Y.
