Vanna White Opens Up About Initial Fears of On-Screen Chemistry with Ryan Seacrest
Vanna White shares her concerns about on-screen chemistry with Ryan Seacrest as he joins ‘Wheel of Fortune.’ Despite initial fears, White says Seacrest is doing a great job in the role.
Bollywood Fever: Vanna White, the beloved longtime co-host of Wheel of Fortune, recently opened up about her initial concerns regarding her new on-screen partnership with Ryan Seacrest.
In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, White admitted she was unsure if she and Seacrest would have the same natural rapport that she shared with former host Pat Sajak, with whom she worked for decades.
Despite knowing Ryan Seacrest for years, Vanna revealed that she had reservations about their chemistry on stage.
“I’ve worked alongside Pat for so long, and you never know how things will change when someone new steps in,” she explained.
The uncertainty of their dynamic was a significant concern for White, given the show’s long history and the strong connection she and Sajak had cultivated over the years.

However, Vanna was quick to add that her fears were unfounded. She praised Seacrest for doing “a great job” in his new role, expressing her relief that the transition has gone smoothly. “It’s a huge relief,” she admitted, indicating that their on-stage partnership is shaping up well.
Ryan Seacrest, who is stepping in as host following Pat Sajak‘s retirement, also paid tribute to the legendary host before one of Sajak’s final episodes in June.
Seacrest penned a heartfelt message, applauding Sajak for his years of dedication and wishing him well in his retirement.
Meanwhile, Vanna herself faced some uncertainty last summer due to a contract dispute that left her future with the show in question.
Fortunately, a deal was reached, ensuring that White will remain a part of Wheel of Fortune for at least one more season.
Fans won’t have to wait long to see the new duo in action, as Seacrest’s first televised episode as host is set to air on Monday, September 9.
With both Seacrest and White’s chemistry now confirmed, viewers can look forward to seeing the beloved game show continue its legacy with a fresh yet familiar dynamic.
