Wheel Of Fortune Host And Co-Host

Wheel of Fortune has been on air since January 6, 1975. The show is for contestants to solve hangman-like word puzzles, to win cash prizes which are determined by a huge carnival wheel.

He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and went to college at the University of Georgia.

His co-host Vanna White is a 68-year-old American television personality and gameshow hostess. Vanna has been the Wheel of Fortune co-host since 1982.

She is married to George Santon Pietro and they have two kids together, Niko Santo Pietro 29, and Gigi Santo Pietro 28.

Fan Receives The Chance Of A Lifetime

A Wheel of Fortune fan was over the moon once they received their confirmation email to be a contestant on the show. The contestant went to Reddit for some advice and posted a thread asking former contestants for their tips. Many former contestants were happy to help the newbie and reminded them to practice word puzzles and download word games on their phones to help. But one former contestant who thinks they’ve cracked the code to winning told the new contestant to watch Vanna White.

They said to watch Vanna and not spin the wheel until she has gotten back to the side of the puzzle board because it gives the players more time to think and make their moves. They also suggest not looking at host Ryan Seacrest and that listening to him but focusing on the board is the best way to focus. Fans and former contestants also believe that listening to the producers closely gives players an advantage as well as they “yell hints” and try to help them.

Wheel of Fortune is a classic American game that has been around for decades. Fans and former contestants have their theories for how to win the game. Do you think you know how to win the game show? Is the advice that was given good advice? Let us know in the comments.
