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.”
