While fans are adjusting to the new hosting role rather smoothly, some reports have suggested that there is tension on set.

Now, it is rumored that execs are debating a replacement for the role of spinner. One name that is emerging to the top is Kim Kardashian, the SKIMS founder and reality TV star.

The news of this potential casting shake-up has caused fans to speculate about the future of the beloved game show. If Kardashian were to step into White’s shoes, it would undoubtedly bring a fresh and modern twist to the classic show, captivating a whole new audience with her star power and charisma. However, the change would undoubtedly be controversial amongst Vanna’s many supporters.

Could Kim Be the New Vanna?

One of the things that made Wheel of Fortune so entertaining to watch was the magnetic chemistry between Vanna White and Pat Sajak. Through their 8,000 episodes together, the pair sold to audiences their connection on and off screen.

While Pat Sajak does still host Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, it is clear he will not return to the original version of the show. As Seacrest and White find their new footing, some fans can’t help but question if the duo is really as strong as they claim to be.

Seacrest and Kim Kardashian have been friends for decades, which could make for great TV. According to radaronline.com, this was taken into consideration when considering a possible replacement. Their insider says:

“They’ve compiled a list of folks to replace Vanna — and Kim is at the top. 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 believes in that family more than anyone.”

The possibility of Kardashian joining the Wheel of Fortune family adds an intriguing layer of anticipation to the show’s relaunch, leaving viewers eager to see what unfolds behind the scenes and on screen. While nothing has been confirmed as of now, there is certainly speculation to be had.
