Wheel Of Fortune’s Vanna White Replaced on Upcoming Episodes After Contracting Covid… as Producers Move Forward as Contract Negotiations Drag On
- White reportedly contracted Covid-19 in late July
- Instead of waiting for her to recover, Wheel Of Fortune had a replacement fill in
- Producers replaced her as she fights for a salary bump after years of stagnation
Vanna White, the longtime co-host of Wheel Of Fortune, will be absent from some upcoming episodes of the series.
The popular game show will continue with a new person filling in for her after the 66-year-old television mainstay contracted Covid-19 in late July, according to Puck News.
Instead of postponing filming until she had recovered, producers decided to move forward.
They approached Bridgette Donald-Blue, who was named ‘Teacher of the Year’, and offered her the job as a temporary replacement for several episodes, most likely the usual six episodes filmed in a single day.
However, White’s absence comes as she continues to negotiate her contract with the series. She has gone years without a raise and has been earning a fraction of what her former co-host Pat Sajak made, even though Ryan Seacrest has taken over his role.
Out of action: Wheel Of Fortune co-host Vanna White will be replaced on several upcoming episodes after contracting Covid. The show opted to replace her as she continues to renegotiate her contract after making a fraction of former co-host Pat Sajak’s salary for years
