Vanna White stays as ‘Wheel of Fortune’ co-host through 2026


Pat Sajak may be saying goodbye to “Wheel of Fortune” next year, but his longtime co-host Vanna White is sticking around for the time being.

In a news release sent to CNN on Tuesday, a representative for Sony Pictures Studios – the studio that produces “Wheel” – confirmed that White has extended her contract for two years and that she’ll remain on the show through the 2025-2026 season.






Vanna White will continue to serve as “Wheel of Fortune” co-host through 2026.




White will continue to flip the letters on the famous wordplay game show as it goes through a major transition next year, when Sajak takes his final spin as host and Ryan Seacrest steps in to take his place.

Who wants to be a game show host? These days, you already have to be famous

The iconic TV duo of Sajak and White have co-hosted the Emmy-winning game show for over 40 years, and stand as two of the longest-serving hosts of any television program in the game show category.

White has turned the letters on the game board as contestants attempt to solve word puzzles on “Wheel” for over 7,000 episodes, providing banter with Sajak along the way while never wearing the same outfit twice (except for that one time).
