Drew Weisholtz is a reporter for TODAY Digital, focusing on pop culture, nostalgia and trending stories. He has seen every episode of “Saved by the Bell” at least 50 times, longs to perfect the crane kick from “The Karate Kid” and performs stand-up comedy, while also cheering on the New York Yankees and New York Giants.
Pat Sajak’s final episode as “Wheel of Fortune” host is on the horizon, so when will Vanna White follow suit? White, who’s been on the show since 1982, signed a contract extension to remain on the program through the 2025-2026 season. She says in a recent interview that she has thought about leaving the program, but isn’t sure when she will walk away from it. “I don’t know. When I heard that Pat was retiring, I thought maybe I should retire too. But I’m not ready!” she told TV Insider.
Later that month, it was announced that Ryan Seacrest will take over the reins from him. White is grateful she has gotten to star on the show. “I never would have thought that this would turn into a 40-plus-year job,” she said. “I’m happy that I am myself . I don’t play a character. I am who I am. It’s a fun show that everybody of all ages enjoys. We give money away!” White also credits Sajak for helping her get through her first day on the job, when she was nervous.
