My mother always tells me that her and Pat Sajak get plastered in hotel bars between filming episodes. Not sure if that’s true. Poor Vanna, she must eat nothing but one oyster cracker a day. Skin and bones.

She is just about the luckiest woman in the world. And not just because she gets paid millions without really having to do anything but stand there and look pretty. She's about to turn 65 years old, and approaching 40 years on Wheel of Fortune. It's amazing that they didn't replace her with a hot young thing decades ago.

In her dau. Vanna White was THE hot young thing. She had as much, if not more, supermarket tabloid coverage as Kim K.

She lucked out on that job. It looks easy, but it's probably harder than we think. She did pretty good, substituting for Sajak when he was out. Yes R3...she was always in the tabloids back then in the 80s. I think they tried to create drama between her and Kathie Lee Gifford....like they were big competitors.

Memorably satirized by Mad Magazine as Vanilla Wipe, which is how I've always thought of her since.

Still, she seems like a nice person overall.

She knows she's one of the luckiest bitches to ever live and is very grateful. She keeps a low profile.

It's true, R1. But apparently, it was a little restaurant across the street from the NBC lot. And according to him, those days are long behind them.

[quote]“Vanna and I would… have two or three or six [drinks] and then come and do the last shows and have trouble recognizing the alphabet,” Sajak said. “I had a great time. I have no idea if the shows were any good, but no one said anything, so I guess I did okay.”

[quote]The drinking happened early on in the show, when Sajak first started hosting.

[quote]“[I] was much younger and could tolerate those things,” Sajak explained. “We had a different show then.”

I never knew Pat and Vanna would get shitfaced before taping the show back in the day. Funny!

They’re not getting plastered but it’s obvious when Pat has had a drink or two at the end of a taping day.

Vanna looks remarkably good for her age, stays thin and is always agreeable.

They’re grooming Pat’s daughter to take over for Vanna, but then who would give Pat a BJ in between shows?

Of Vanna White, I've had sufficient.
