You gotta give props to the show for not replacing Vanna White. Often you see women get "aged out" and replaced by younger, more attractive women. But Vanna has been at it for 37 years and still going strong.
Did you know, Vanna White's first time on a game show was not Wheel of Fortune! She appeared on The Price is Right as a contestant in 1980 (she never got on stage).
I just love vanna white, so gracious for her job and what she does, doesnt act too good nor does she make herself better than she already is. Shame she cant take like a few of those dresses home. let lady gaga design a dress for her
She's basically an American icon anything she touches now would turn to gold anyway. Imagine if she quit now and wrote a book or learnt her voice to commercials or just used your imagination..she's going to be rich regardless and some people in this country do far less for a living. Watch her interview videos, she woarks it before each show...she's a beast and a 60 years young one.
In 1973 Wheel of Fortune was actually called Shopper's Bazaar. Chuck Woolery & Susan Stafford was the first host. Pat Sajak joined in 1981. Vanna White joined in 1982. In 1997 Vanna used to turn letters, now she touches the letters.
I wonder if any of the Wheel of Fortune contestants have ever tried to spin the wheel backwards? (A handful of contestants on The Price is Right have tried to spin the Showcase Showdown wheel backwards, but Bob Barker wouldn’t let them get away with it.)
I watched this Show in Germany called "Glücksrad" when I was a little Boy. I habe learned to read and knowing the letztes in Pre-School better !! I loved it go patch with my brother or my Grandma ;) so great and I Played the PC Game on my old MS Dos PC and the Wheel of Fortune-Handhero (like a Gameboy) ♡
"Thank you, Johnny Gilbert! Today is a special day: It's July 22nd and would have been Alex Trebek's 81st birthday. He was a kind, intelligent, and philanthropic man, [...] Alex loved this game, so let's celebrate him and his legacy by playing the game he loved." -Robin Roberts
Now Vanna will be hosting for real in December after Pat Sajak's health scare--as Vanna will be hosting Wheel while Pat recovers from surgery from an intestinal blockage.
Rolf Benirschke - who was the host of the morning version of Wheel from January 10-June 30, 1989 - also spun a Bankrupt during one of the Teen Week episodes. What happened was that initially he thought he got $2,000 as the Final Spin, but it was after a contestant corrected him that he had in fact looked at the wrong arrow and actually landed on Bankrupt.
"What was the interview like to get that job? What was that process? That must have been really tough. Interviewer: 'All right! Let's start... let's start the interview here. Uh... Vanna White? Is that right? Okay... alright, let's start.' 'Alright... are you familiar with the alphabet? You are? Okay... wow.' 'If something were glowing... could you tell? You could? Wow, that wraps it up! Wow, welcome aboard! That's very impressive... that's very... impressive.'"
This has to make you wonder how many people that it must take to dismantle the wheel, and put it back together when they go on the road, no matter if they are going to Chicago, New York, or even Boston.
Did Vanna actually host the whole show? I seem to remember that they just switched places for the Bonus Round. I may be wrong, but that's how I remember it. ❤️❤️.
@@HelloKittyFanMan. If they fired Vana, a lot of the viewers who have watched for decades would get mad because they feel a different vibe. Shes just a part of the show
"Vana"? Who's that, @@parkerstromquist2849? Or did you mean Vanna? If that's whom you meant, then this is my reply: It wouldn't be a firing, ; just a layoff. But... I guess this is just one of those things that was once real and necessary that becomes the thing that's no longer functional that's just a piece of art from then on.
Interesting. Compare to Australia Wheel of Fortune the wheel takes longer to stop comparing to USA stops quickly and less time to wait and able to finish the puzzle quickly.
Only in America could someone like Vanna White get paid millions of dollars to do a job that a third grader could do. Congratulations, America, we should all be proud of that.
Pat Sajak is freaking hilarious.... He cracks me up. Both of them seem to actually enjoy each other during the show. Amazing though how much money they make for working 35 days a year though, but good for them....

TheDrexxus and she still looks good
You can’t replace Vanna no matter how old she gets
It’s time for that hag to go.
Who's here after Vanna hosted the show while Pat is recovering from surgery
Vito Mcsween I am.
Vanna was amazing! She hosts in the video games too!
I wonder if they're going to put the wheel in the Smithsonian when the show ends. They should.
Melissa0774 it should be in the tv museum
I doubt Wheel of Fortune is going to lose popularity. The ones that tend to lose popularity are the silliest game shows, like Minute to Win it.
also the wheel form price is right
Maybe the old school puzzle board

I liked the board better when Vanna had to physically turn the actual cubed letters
i can still remember when they made the change
Vanna White is Americas sweet heart.

Did you know Vanna appeared on" The Price is Right" as a contestant??😎
She is paid millions to literally do nothing why would she be a bitch?
@@northvilletunnels that’s what most people who get paid millions to do nothing turn out to be
Lady Gaga doesn't design her own outfits. Her sister and other designers do. If Vanna walks out in a meat dress..... I'm done. 😵
Wheel of Fortune is my most favorite game show. I watch it every single week day.
Pat was suffering from laryngitis, hence the role switching that day.
and I don't *THINK* they've been back to San Francisco since. (that's where it happened)
@@disneydanny2 The did return in 2004 but no at the Palace of Fine Arts.
Vanna's contract ends in 2022....
*sits on Indeed refreshing page furiously on New Years Eve 2021*
Nah, she will just retire and live off the insane pension fund
Will this be the last go for her, and she returns to SC?
It’s actually going to end in 2026. She will work 2 more seasons and then Maggie Sajak will take over.
Vanna is doing great hosting while Pat is recuperating from surgery.
Van a is a god full in
I remember they used to have Trebek and Sajak switch shows for april fools, i wonder if they still do that.
no they don't anymore!
Alex first sub hosted in 1980 when Wheel was an NBC daytime show.
I been a long time fan of Wheel of Fortune since I was a kid it is one of my favorite shows since 1978.
I wanna give both the Wheel and puzzleboard a try. =D
Makes millions touching a screen working only 35 days a year. What a life!!
Kevin Herrera Yea, they don’t really need her anymore in all honesty.
They switched because turning the letters was hurting her back

Imagine if, when a contestant finished the puzzle, Vanna rushed towards the letters very fast to complete the puzzle.

Tayshaun McElroy I remember watching the original show. It was on a lunchtime. Man I'm old
Really! I thought I heard that during the commentary but thanks for confirming what I already heard! - NOT
iirc i don't thiink Wheel has taped any show in San Francisco since that famous role rteversal for the bonus round

35 days!? Sign me up!
"But they work really hard on those days" oh boo fucking hoo
Would it be pretty funny if there would be a brand new 'Wheel of Fortune' host?
@@georgeshelton6281Your wish is my command! Huzzah! Ryan Seacrest is now host! 🪄
I bet she actually DID say "can you make my job easier?"
Seriously, that an impossible conclusion.
"That was the wimpiest spin"...😂😂😂
That's a hot mess, didn't even have to wait to see if this clip showed that answer
I can't believe it's been on the air so long!
Like price is right 50 yrs
Still watch the show just like my childhood days.
Now Vanna will be hosting for real in December after Pat Sajak's health scare--as Vanna will be hosting Wheel while Pat recovers from surgery from an intestinal blockage.
"Can you make my job easier than turning the letters ?"
Girl ... please.
Did you not hear the video?
Vanna is still stunning after all these years...and Pat reminds me of my uncle John...
Anyone else here because Vanna has hosted again?
Yup!🤣🤣ur here in 2019 too??
Chuck Woolery was NOT the 1st host of Wheel of Fortune...
*****
Chuck also did a SB pilot, iirc Chuck's SB pilot was recorded first,then Ed's and Merv ditched Ed for Chuck
oh wow I knew Ed had one pilot b ut never knew about his second one
The Edd "Kooky" Byrnes pilot was the first to be called Wheel of Fortune, with music by Maynard Ferguson ("Give It One").
Yes he was, If you’re splitting hairs over a onesie twosey unofficial show that doesn’t count
I realize that this is an old vid, but Vanna looks absolutely stunning
Vanna and Pat are a class act thanks for years of the best game show ever
Why has pat never spun a bankrupt or miss a turn?
He has, one time he spun 3 bankrupts in a row! Try doing that for money it would never happen lol
You can TH-cam a bunch of "Bankrupt on Final Spin" videos, but it happens every so often! :)
Most often these days, its edited out.

She messed up. You don't disable the wheel. You dissemble the wheel. It's OK.
Dismantle would have been good too. For both OP and the GMA host.
Since it isn’t an electronic machine that would be right.
This has to make you wonder how many people that it must take to dismantle the wheel, and put it back together when they go on the road, no matter if they are going to Chicago, New York, or even Boston.
Or Hawaii!
They came to my city, Houston, in 1998.
I wonder what letters are supported by the puzzle board?
I like wheel of fortune i answer it when i was there in usa
I was secretly hoping it was because Pat was telling Vanna how easy her job was or something lol
In my next life I want to be Vanna. LOL
I remember when vannah used to spin the letters
Good Lock to your Journey Sir. Pat!
Did Vanna actually host the whole show? I seem to remember that they just switched places for the Bonus Round. I may be wrong, but that's how I remember it. ❤️❤️.
Ur here in 2019 too??🤣🤣
Whoa
She didn’t host the whole episode.
I didn't see one damn thing of the video having to do with a one day job switch with Vanna White????
Chuck Woolery needs to stick with Love Connection. Pat & Vanna got this.....
Ya know, those monitors that replaced the mechanical letter blocks actually made Vanna obsolete!
From a technical perspective, yes. From a business perspective, hell no!

At the end, she said they disable the wheel. She should have said, they disassemble the wheel.
best till now i found on youtube
Thanks for this vdo
from me i liked your video
and shared this video. Thanks.
MY FAVOURITE GAMW SHOW
& Pat Sajak will be the big seven zero this year (October 26th)!
and works 35 days a year??! shaakin my head
Lara Spencer should be on the show at the puzzle board.
Funny how they don't seem to know what a hot mess really means....
Hits different now that Pat Sajak has officially retired… 😢
How did Lara Spencer ever get a career?
That's A Hot...Bass?
0:41 IS THIS A WHEEL OF FORTUNE 2ND EDITION PC REFERENCE?????
Pat Sajak is freaking hilarious.... He cracks me up. Both of them seem to actually enjoy each other during the show. Amazing though how much money they make for working 35 days a year though, but good for them....
Bonus Round prizes are:
Annuity: $20,000
Chevrolet Camaro T-Top: $20,787
GM MasterCard: $20,000
Chevrolet Camaro: $19,087
$25,000
35 days per year? nice job for 15mil per year
Now it’s temporary. Get well Pat.
So what would they do if the wheel broke while in transit?
Where does he actually say the reason for the 1-day job switch!?
he had laringytis i remember that one because i actually saw that all those years ago.
disable? did she meant dissassemble?
Vanna White will ALWAYS be gorgeous to me.
I thought the puzzle on the news channel wasn”that’s a fat asss”
"Touch-screen TVs"? Nahh, I really doubt those monitors have tuners.
Tv monitors, not full blown tv’s. You can call it that
@@jptwentyfour887: They're not TV anything without tuners. Also, if you're trying to form a plural, don't use an apostrophe.
I miss the days when pat was drunk and telling lame jokes and hitting on vanna all the time.
Joe Smith I remember the episode where he had sex with her on the wheel. those crazy 1970's
Anyone have a list of prize trip destinations?
Disassemble ! Verb- To pull/take apart.
Who's Robin Roberts?
An outstanding Hall-of-Fame baseball pitcher who dominated for the Phillies in the 1950s. Though it's possible they're referring to a more recent television anchor.
they look sooo fake
LOL, "disable"?
No, it's "disMANTLE," dummy, haha!
(Yes, that does effectively disable it, but still...!)
why wear xtra hi heels when u r 6 feet +???
I never touched the wheel on Wheel of Fortune before
I expect (strongly suggest) Pat Sajak to retire; and go find another young man, to be the new host
I remember when she was nekkid in Playboy. OMG 😍
I wish they had sent a better reporter....she was did a pathetic job
was did?
I wish you had spent more time on your comment... you did a pathetic job.
*spent
She was did a
why was there no video?
whos here after pat retired
When Pat is at the puzzle board, he appears to be belittling, Vanna's job. I know Vanna could care less though.
Micky and Minnie have proven Vanna’s job to be obsolete
I can imagine the two mice hosting a Toon version of the show in Toontown.
It's obsolete, BUT....Pat Sajak's daughter did it well and was attractive. Time to replace Vanna.
Omg these network news stations are terrible. I can't believe anyone still ingests information this way.
Yep, you know that age has moved in, especially when you run to youtube just find out about the Horse, lol........
I think Lara Spencer is hot
What kind of accent has the reporter got? Sounds part British.
Nice video of the day.
Happy Birthday to Chicago natives
Pat Sajak and Hillary Clinton!
Lol
Hillary Clinton? Don’t care about her
How would they play in Hebrew? Or techy vowel system?
Time to go younger. Vanna had a nice run. Pat should stay forever
Isn't Ryan taking over for Pat?
I heard Vanna is still in, as I saw something about contract negotiations.
I heard Vanna will work with Ryan until 2026 and she wants Maggie Sajak to take over.
She's the Imelda Marcos of dresses!
That A in the top right had no faith in her.
Give the show to Vanna! Change is good!
