Vanna White will remain with Wheel of Fortune as the show enters a new era.
White has signed a two-year contract extension to continue as co-host of the syndicated game show through the 2025-26 season. That will take her two years into the hosting tenure of Ryan Seacrest, who will take over for longtime host Pat Sajak in fall 2024.
Sajak announced in June that he would retire as Wheel of Fortune’s host — a position he’s held for four decades — at the end of the 2023-24 season. Sony Pictures TV, which produces the game show, named Seacrest as his replacement soon thereafter, but White’s status remained up in the air until now.
“This is such great news,” Seacrest said in an interview with Willie Geist for NBC’s Sunday Today show. “Vanna has been such a staple on that show and in our living rooms for so many years.
