Vanna White is giving Wheel of Fortune fans a little update on her old pal Pat Sajak nearly one year after his exit from the show.
"I talk to Pat all the time. He’s doing great. He’s healthy, he’s happy,” White, 68, said on the Holding Kourt podcast on Wednesday, April 2. “I just had dinner with him about a month ago, so I just want to let everyone out here know he’s doing good.”
Sajak, 78, of course hosted the syndicated game show for 43 years before retiring in June 2024. Ryan Seacrest then went on to become the new host, while White is still co-hosting through at least the summer 2026 when her contract is next up.
White also talked about how it was a difficult decision whether to continue doing the show after Sajak left. “Am I going to stay? Do I go out with [Sajak] after 41 years together? It was going to be hard to work with somebody else, you know, after being so familiar with [Sajak],” she explained. “It was just very hard for me to make that decision because I’m happy with my job. I still love my job. I decided to obviously stay on and I’m glad I did. There’s always contracts, there’s always controversy and all that stuff, but everything’s fine. I’m happy. We’re here.”
As for Seacrest, 50, White praised his performance after stepping into the role, saying, “Everyone has watched Pat and me together for 41 years. To bring someone new in, it’s hard to get used to. You want to stay with what’s familiar but [Ryan] has stepped in and done a great job.”
Sajak is set to return for the final episodes as host of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, which premieres on ABC Wednesday, April 30 at 8 p.m. ET.
