When the news broke that MAGAt Pat Sajak was retiring and
leaving Wheel of Fortune, my first thought was “Is that show still on?”
But it is, and some folks were more concerned
with what would happen to Vanna White and now we know that her role will
be cut from the show soon, too.
My Thought: Vanna was a mindless, voiceless prop in an
evening gown who pretended to reveal the letters on TV’s version of hangman and
was paid $3 million a year. It’s called cost-cutting.
My Thought, Part Two: It appears that Vanna’s job of
pointing at letters might be saved as the producers of Wheel announced that Vanna’s
male counterpart, Ryan Seacrest, will be the new host and he’ll be so awful
they need Vanna around to keep the older viewers watching.
