Wheel of Fortune co-host Vanna White revealed the surprising number of days she films the popular gameshow during a recent appearance on Elvis Durant and the Morning Show.
“We film about 34 days a year,” White revealed last Wednesday (March 5). “That’s it.”
White, 68, revealed her surprisingly short schedule after Morning Show co-host Nate Marino claimed that he only recently learned that the show didn't air live on a nightly basis. The longtime Wheel co-host then joked that she still has to make multiple outfit changes between tapings.
“Come on. You could feel bad for me,” White said.
“I do not feel sorry for you one bit,” Duran jokingly responded. “That sounds like a great job.”
The radio personalities appeared to be stunned that White only appeared on set less than 10% of the calendar year.
“So weird. You have 331 days off a year?” Marino asked.
“Yes, I guess so,” White responded.
“And no one deserves it more than you. You’re just the best," Duran said to the legendary gameshow co-host.
White, who began her career as a model before making her Wheel of Fortune debut in 1982, was reported to earn an annual salary of $3 million before renegotiating her contract in 2023, which resulted in a "substantial pay increase," TMZ reported at the time.
