Wheel of Fortune hostess Vanna White is ready to take her relationship with her beau, John Donaldson, to the next level.
It’s been 12 years since Vanna and John began dating, and friends of the couple say they’re ready to become Mr. and Mrs.
A friend recently spoke with Closer Weekly and revealed that after some hesitancy on Vanna’s part, the couple is ready to take the plunge.
“John’s always wanted to make it official, but Vanna was hesitant, only because she didn’t feel it was necessary to marry again,” the source recently told the outlet.
Although Vanna hasn’t been in a rush to walk down the aisle, the friend reveals that she changed her mind and is ready to meet John at the altar.
“Things change, though,” the insider shared. “Vanna just feels like the timing is right.”

If there’s one thing Wheel of Fortune fans want to see before Pat Sajak retires, it’s a contestant winning a $1 million prize.
Pat is hosting his 41st and final season of Wheel of Fortune and will officially retire in June 2024.
Before Ryan Seacrest takes the reins this fall, Wheel of Fortune viewers are growing antsy as they await a $1 million winner.
A contestant named Marsha recently had a big night on Wheel of Fortune, and her Bonus Round was shared on the game show’s YouTube channel in a video captioned, “Heads or Tails: Marsha will successfully solve the Bonus Round puzzle.”
Marsha opted for the “Phrase” category and came up with the correct solution with the help of Wheel of Fortune’s typical consonants, R, S, T, L, and N, and vowel E, along with her own picks.
When all the letters were revealed, Marsha’s puzzle read,...

A recent Wheel of Fortune Bonus Round puzzle had Pat Sajak questioning his co-host, Vanna White.
Vanna has served as the long-standing tile-turner on Wheel of Fortune since 1982, revealing puzzle letters to contestants and viewers.
A lot has changed since Vanna began her job on stage, however, with the implementation of technology.
When Vanna first began her job, she had to turn each letter tile to reveal contestants’ guesses physically.
But now, the board is digital, so all Vanna needs to do is tap each letter, much like using a touchscreen device, rather than turn them.
Regardless of the technique, Wheel of Fortune viewers rely on Vanna to do her job during each and every episode.
A recent episode saw a player named Ryan enter into the Bonus Round, where his category of choice was “Phrase.”
Vanna revealed the routine consonants R, S, T, L, and N, along with the traditional vowel E,...

Wheel of Fortune viewers are livid and have accused host Pat Sajak of cheating a contestant out of $50,000.
While Pat Sajak finishes out his 41st and final season as the host of Wheel of Fortune, fans of the show have been more outspoken about his behavior on-air.
In recent months, many have claimed that Pat is robbing contestants of big money, either because he heard them incorrectly or he has a personal vendetta against them.
During a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune, a contestant named Tamara from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania tried her hand during the game’s Bonus Round.
The category was “What Are You Doing?” and after being supplied with the customary letters R, S, T, L, N, and E, Tamara chose her own, G, D, B, and A.
This left Tamara with a puzzle that read “_ _ _ N _ N G / A / B_ _ _ / _ L _ B.”
“Now, pay attention [to] what’s up there,...

For the second consecutive year, the Massachusetts-based band headlined a concert as part of Silver Scream Con, a horror convention curated by Ice Nine Kills mastermind Spencer Charnas. After last year’s intimate performance effortlessly sold out the 850-seat Cabot Theater in Beverly, Ma, this year’s event was booked at the Lynn Memorial Auditorium in Lynn, Ma.

Viewers felt sympathy for a Wheel of Fortune contestant on Tuesday’s (September 12) episode after he lost out on a big money prize due to what many deemed an “unheard” of phrase, while another said it was “impossible.” Mark Henderson, a theater professor from Jackson, Mississippi, made it to the bonus round and had a chance to add $50,000 to his winnings, having already amassed $13,990 during regular play. Feeling confident, Henderson picked the “Phrase” category and the additional letters “G, Y,” and “O.” Unfortunately, those letters didn’t help much, and Henderson was left staring at a puzzle board that read, “_ _ _ R L _ N G _ R O _ N _.” “Well, it’s a phrase. You have ten seconds to try to do something with that,” host Pat Sajak said. Henderson was completely baffled and didn’t say anything until the last second, randomly guessing, “Carling Brown.” “Well, you said something,” Sajak said,...

Ahead of Wheel of Fortune‘s Season 41 premiere on Monday, September 11, fans have rallied behind Vanna White, vocalizing their support on the show’s social media channels. The long-running game show has released some new promo material which shows hosts Pat Sajak and White side-by-side. Season 41 marks Sajak’s final season before he retires and is replaced by Ryan Seacrest. “Probably the last season since Ryan Seacrest will tank it and you wont give Vanna a raise,” wrote one fan, referring to White’s reported contract disputes with Sony Pictures over a pay rise. White’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, alleged that the long-time letter-turner hasn’t received a raise in 18 years. “Great job you two!!! She needs a raise already!!! What are you waiting for???

Vanna White is back filming Wheel of Fortune after missing a recent set of tapings due to Covid, marking the first time in 30 years that the letter-turner won’t be on screen in some capacity. As TV Insider reported, White missed filming for this fall’s upcoming Teachers Week episodes. The show’s bosses decided that rather than reschedule the tapings they would go ahead without Vanna, citing that it would have been difficult to re-organize with busy teachers. Stepping in as letter-turner in White’s absence was 2023 California Teacher of the Year Bridgette Donald-Blue. According to some Wheel of Fortune Reddit forum users, subsequent tapings were canceled until White could return. The long-time co-host was said to be back last week, where she filmed three weeks worth of episodes. “Just because it might get lost in the shuffle of just reading the headline: Vanna taped three weeks of episodes this week,...

Vanna White is being temporarily replaced after she contracted Covid-19 amid her contract negotiations.
White came down with Covid in July while Wheel of Fortune was filming their yearly “Teachers Week,” during which all contestants will be teachers, which will air in October.
Elementary school teacher Bridgette Donald-Blue will take over for the week until White recovers. Donald-Blue won California’s Teacher of the Year award for 2023.
This is the fourth time White has missed the show since she started 41 years ago. In 1986, she was replaced by Susan Stafford when her boyfriend, John Gibson, died in a plane crash. Her second time missing the show was in 1991 when she went on her honeymoon with George Santo Pietro, whom she later divorced in 2002. Tricia Gist filled in for White then and later in the year when White was sick.

Jeopardy! hosts Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik are used to asking the questions, but that won’t be the case next month when they compete against one another on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. That’s right, Jennings and Bialik will appear on the rival game show on Wednesday, May 10, where they will battle one another and Wheel of Fortune co-host Vanna White, who, for the first time ever, will be “calling the letters instead of revealing them.” This much-anticipated Wheel special will air at 9 pm on ABC following Jeopardy!

Ask around, and you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who has not seen at least an episode or two of the popular game show Wheel of Fortune. The show is fun and, let’s face it, a little addictive to watch. Pat Sajak has been hosting Wheel of Fortune for decades and is arguably one of the most recognizable faces on television. However, he wasn’t the first to be in that iconic position. Wheel of Fortune hired Pat Sajak after the original host asked for more money.

After 40 seasons fronting the show, Pat Sajak has teased that he may be ready to relinquish his hosting duties on ABC’s Wheel of Fortune. But if he does decide to leave, who could possibly replace him and what does it mean for his long-time cohost Vanna White? Could she take over from Sajak, or will the show’s producers look to bring in a new face, or possibly a whole new hosting team? The show has been around since 1975 and was originally hosted by Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford before Sajak took over in 1981. In 1983, a nighttime spinoff of the daytime show was announced, which he and Vanna have hosted ever since. During his tenure, Sajak has received 19 nominations for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show Host, winning three times. So we ask, who in the current TV landscape would be perfect to take over Wheel of Fortune?...

Wheel of Fortune introduced some big changes on Monday’s (September 12) premiere of its milestone 40th season, and fans have mixed opinions. Among the new looks was a brand new puzzle board. The original version of the show, which premiered in 1975, had a puzzle board where co-host Vanna White had to flip the letter tiles manually. This was updated to a digital board in 2013, with host Pat Sajak saying, “The new board… it’s heat-activated if you will.” Now, the latest board is even more advanced, even using technology that was used on the Mars rover. “The technology behind how Vanna interacts with it is something that’s used in self-driving cars. It’s used on the Mars rover… so now we can put up our logo or any graphics we want to; we can also change it [back] to the puzzle board,” said the show’s executive producer Bellamie Blackstone.
