- ‘Wheel of Fortune’ fans think it’s time for Vanna White to ‘retire or be removed’: “I’m not sure…” (marketrealist.com)
Local “Wheel of Fortune” fans are buzzing about the show’s future, and not just about new host Ryan Seacrest. A recent Reddit thread sparked debate about Vanna White’s long tenure on the show. Some viewers feel it’s time for her to retire, while others fiercely defend her presence, even suggesting she take over hosting duties.
The online discussion was ignited by a user asking for “hot takes” on the show. Opinions varied on Seacrest’s performance compared to former host Pat Sajak, but surprisingly, White’s role also became a key topic. Some fans championed White as a potential host, while others expressed a desire to see her on a different platform, like a talk show.
Adding fuel to the fire, a recent on-air gaffe has some fans speculating about White’s on-screen slip-up. During a “Winter Wonderland” themed segment, Seacrest took a tumble while skiing.
White’s reaction, caught on camera, led some to believe she uttered an expletive before rushing to Seacrest’s aid. However, other viewers dispute this, suggesting she said a different word entirely.
The incident has further divided fans, with some dismissing it as a minor mishap and others seeing it as a sign of something more.
