Vanna White

What is your occupation and position?

I am the hostess on Wheel of Fortune and have been for 18 years.


Describe how you got your job?

I auditioned along with 200 other girls. Merv Griffin made the final decision and I was stunned he chose me. I was the most nervous! I could hardly talk. My mouth was quivering and there were so many beautiful girls to choose from. I didn't consider myself beautiful.

What do you do that most appeals to teens?

I think teens enjoy watching our show as they have probably been watching with their parents since they were little. It's family time around the house.

What's wrong with teens today and what should change?

I think teens have their own agendas today. They don't seem to spend much time with their parents. I wish parents would get more involved with their teens. And I wish teens could have more communication and understanding with their parents. Parents can be fun!

What do you want to tell teens about yourself?

I have 2 young kids and I am trying to be a hands-on-mom. I try to get involved in everything they do. We communicate. If there is a problem, we discuss it. I hope that by showing them now at a young age that I am their friend and not their enemy, will continue as they get older.

Do you have any questions you would like to ask teens?

When was the last time you told your parents you loved them? Try it. It feels good! And always tell them the truth, even though they might not like it.

What are your plans for the future?

I plan on being the best mom I can and teach my children to be open and honest. I don't want to have a communication gap.

Whats so special that they interviewed her? She's silent on Wheel of Fortune, all she does is press the bored thingy.

I :) the show Wheel of Fortune. I watch it every night. I saw a show on E! that had a behind the scenes that focused on you. I :)d it. i think you're great. The only down side is, that you make a lot of money just to stand there and press the lighted buttons. I guess you could say I'm a little jealous.

Theresa 07-04-02
interesting about the whole parent-child communication but one reason why 'we teens' don't communicate with parents is because they wouldn't understand and just tell u 'to focus on school' otherwise it was a cool interview...i used to :) wheel of fortune.

She is such a good person..I would love to have her job and she doesn't think of herself as someone famous!! I love that! She is just great all around!

Star 03-30-01
I think you are cool and a great role model to your kids. You sound like a wonderful mother, for sure. I love all the cool clothes you get to wear on the show. That must be awesome to get a new outfit every day! :o) My question is, What would you be doing if you hadn't landed this job? (aside from raising your kids of course)

Gina 03-27-01
Vanna. Just wanted to say that I love you. My family ans I have been watching Wheel of Fortune for years. I do have one question though.. Do you plan or want to have any more children?

Sarah 03-23-01
Is it true that you design and make your own clothes or something...well thats what I heard a long time ago!! And that person below me really knows what she's saying!!! WOW!!!

Lindsay 03-23-01
Hi Vanna, You seem really nice, and your very pretty. But do you ever feel like your cheating? Because well, correct me if I'm wrong, but walking around pressing the screen and letters popping up to me sounds like not much of a talent. I mean sure you get paid, but for what? You are very lucky, and there are other people out there who can do what you do and are homeless and poor. Your a great person, you should try putting that talent somewhere elso, other than hiding it all in by touching the letters on the screen.

Hatter 03-21-01
You seem like a nice mother!!

Emily 03-20-01
Have you ever been attracted to the host?

Kim 03-20-01

Jackie 03-20-01
Hey you sound like you pretty much have your life set. Good luck with your kids!

R@ven 03-20-01
