Wheel of Fortune, the beloved game show that's been spinning its way into living rooms since 1975, might be gearing up for its most sensational twist yet. With Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest at the helm, you'd think all's well that ends well. But hold onto your vowels, because the rumor mill suggests a star-studded shakeup might be just around the corner.
Enter Kim Kardashian. The reality TV mogul and fashion icon, 43, is reportedly in the running to become the next letter-turning luminary if White, 67, decides to step down. According to a new report, the producers are eyeing none other than Kardashian to inject some fresh glam into the aging format.
"They've compiled a list of folks to replace Vanna — and Kim is at the top," the insider told Life & Style. "Kim is a very close friend of Ryan's and would bring a whole new audience. Ryan wants to make the show younger and sexier. He's responsible for the Kardashian reality show and believed in that family more than anyone!"
According to the source, the game show hostess was hopeful that she and Seacrest, 49, could fall into the same groove she and Pat Sajak had. "After Pat quit, Vanna was optimistic about working with Ryan, but they have zero chemistry and no vibe," the insider noted. "Plus, she could be his mother!"
Adding fuel to the fire, Closer Weekly weighed in on Thursday, July 4, with a report that could fan the flames of speculation. According to an unnamed source, White "isn't a huge fan of Ryan so far," adding that after years of working with Sajak, 77, co-hosting with Seacrest "feels forced" and she doesn't want viewers and her longtime fans to pick up on that.
However, amidst these swirling rumors, White made an attempt to display a different picture to the public. On Tuesday, July 9, the seasoned hostess shared a snapshot on Instagram that seemed to paint a picture of friendship. The post featured White and Seacrest enjoying a meal together.
"Friends on and off camera. Enjoying one of our favorites, Chicken and Dumplings!" she affectionately captioned. Seacrest was quick to comment, echoing the sentiment, "Always a treat! Here's to more fun moments and delicious bites 🥟!"
This lighthearted exchange could be seen as a strategic move to calm the waters, suggesting that despite reports, there might still be a friendly rapport between the co-hosts.
