Vanna White absent from ‘Wheel of Fortune’ due to COVID ‘sniffles’
Vanna White Tests Positive for COVID, Takes Break from ‘Wheel of Fortune’
Popular game show host Pat Sajak announced on Monday that Vanna White will be absent from “Wheel of Fortune” for the rest of the week after testing positive for COVID. This news comes as a surprise to fans, as White was expected to miss some episodes this season for the show’s annual Teacher’s Week.
Sajak, known for his witty banter with White, joked about how he can’t even find his mark without her. He reassured fans that White is feeling fine, with only a little sniffle, but she tested positive for the virus.

Bridgette Donald-Blue, the 2023 California teacher of the year, stepped in to fill White’s shoes on Monday’s episode. This is a rare occurrence, as White has only missed work four times in her four-decade-long tenure on the show.
White, who first appeared as a guest hostess in 1982, quickly became a permanent fixture on “Wheel of Fortune.” Her absence this week coincides with Sajak’s announcement that this season will be his last before retirement. Ryan Seacrest is set to take over as the new host next year.
Despite her temporary break, White will continue to be a part of the show in the near future, as she recently secured a significant pay raise. Her attorney negotiated for her to receive at least half of Sajak’s earnings, resulting in a substantial increase in her salary.
While fans will miss seeing White on their screens this week, they can look forward to her return and the exciting changes coming to “Wheel of Fortune.”
