Vanna White Reveals She Works Only 34 Days Yearly on Wheel of Fortune

Vanna White, co-host of 'Wheel of Fortune,' revealed in an interview that she only works 34 days a year, surprising fans of the long-running game show. During her appearance on 'Elvis Duran and the Morning Show,' she explained that filming includes six episodes per production day, leading to over 330 days off each year. White, who has been with the show since 1982, recently signed a contract extension ensuring her role through the 2025-26 season, reportedly after not receiving a pay raise in 18 years. Her new salary follows negotiations that aimed to align her compensation closer to her former co-host Pat Sajak's earnings, which were around $15 million per season. While she expressed her initial fear about working with Ryan Seacrest after Sajak's retirement in 2024, she acknowledged Seacrest's efforts in taking over the hosting duties. Fans continue to appreciate her contributions while being astonished by the amount of time she spends off-screen each year.
