Vanna White had some reasonable fears going into her new partnership with Ryan Seacrest for “Wheel of Fortune” … and said she was worried the two wouldn’t have chemistry.
The longtime television host discussed working with Seacrest during an interview with CBS Sunday morning …explaining that even though she had known Ryan for decades, she didn’t know if they would be right together on stage.
Vanna admits she didn’t know what to expect when it came to Ryan because they were working together Pat Sajak so long… and she wondered if they would have the same natural rapport.
Despite her initial fears, Vanna says Ryan is doing a great job in the role…a huge relief for her, one imagines.
Of course, Ryan say goodbye to Sajak before one of his final episodes in June… writing a loving tribute to the show’s longtime host, applauding him for all his hard work and wishing him well in his retirement.
Meanwhile, Vanna had her own contract dispute last summer, leaving her future with the show up in the air. Ultimately it is two parties came to a deal …and she’ll stay for at least one more season.
Seacrest’s first television episode as host of the show drops on Monday, September 9… and you can bet his chemistry with Vanna will be on full display.
