Mon Mar 10 23:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Vanna White Reveals Shockingly Short “Wheel of Fortune” Filming Schedule
**New York, NY** – Vanna White, the iconic letter-turner on “Wheel of Fortune,” surprised listeners of “Elvis Duran and the Morning Show” by revealing her surprisingly short work schedule. White, who has co-hosted the game show since 1982, disclosed that filming only takes 34 days a year, despite taping six shows each day.
While hosts Elvis Duran and Danielle Monaro expressed disbelief, White playfully countered their sympathy, highlighting the glamorous aspect of changing into six different dresses daily. The revelation prompted calculations about her extensive time off – approximately 331 days a year – a fact White admitted she hadn’t previously considered.
White’s comments come after a recent two-year contract extension, securing her place on the show through the 2025-2026 season. This renewal followed reports of concerns about her future and allegedly stagnant pay for 18 years. TMZ reported she subsequently negotiated a “substantial pay increase” after earning a reported $3 million annually.
The transition to co-hosting with Ryan Seacrest after Pat Sajak’s retirement has been an adjustment, White acknowledged, but she praised Seacrest’s professionalism and humility. “Wheel of Fortune” is currently in its 42nd season.
