Vanna White Reveals She Works Just 34 Days a Year on 'Wheel of Fortune'

The longtime co-host discusses her unique schedule, decades-long career, and recent contract extension through 2026.

Vanna White, co-host of 'Wheel of Fortune' since 1982, shared that she works only 34 days annually, filming six episodes per day.
Her schedule allows for 331 days off each year, a fact that surprised even White herself during a recent interview on 'Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.'
White has worn over 8,000 outfits during her 43-year tenure and attributes part of her role's appeal to her wardrobe's popularity with viewers.
In 2023, White successfully negotiated a raise from $3 million to $10 million annually following Pat Sajak's retirement, addressing a longstanding pay disparity.
She has extended her contract through the 2025-2026 season, continuing to co-host alongside Ryan Seacrest, but remains uncertain about her future beyond that.
