Kim Kardashian may have started her career as a reality TV star. However, she’s built an empire and brand that has spanned out across several industries. In addition to reality TV she’s also done scripted television work in American Horror Story. She’s created her own line of shapwear, makeup, and fragrances. She’s also a fitness and fashion icon to many of her fans. So, why wouldn’t she be on a shortlist of people to replace Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune?
According to Life and Style, Ryan Seacrest has officially taken over for longtime Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak. While Sajak opted to retire from his job hosting the iconic game show, Vanna White decided to stay. However, it may have been a mistake. She and Seacrest are allegedly butting heads and she might decide to walk away as well. If so, Kim Kardashian could become the next co-host.
Will Kim Kardashian Replace Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune?
“After Pat quit, Vanna was optimistic about working with Ryan, but they have zero chemistry and no vibe,” says an insider. “Plus, she could be his mother!”
If White does decide to depart the show as well, a number of people could be in line for her job. However, it’s Kardashian that Seacrest reportedly has his eye on. Kardashian and Seacrest have worked closely together in the past, and he allegedly believes they can bring the game show to a young audience.
“They’ve compiled a list of folks to replace Vanna, and Kim Kardashian is at the top,” says the insider. “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!”
However, older and longtime Wheel of Fortune viewers may not be on board with Kim Kardashian replacing Vanna White, even if she has Ryan Seacrest’s seal of approval. “Isn’t America sick of Ryan Seacrest yet? There’s got to be a thousand people better than him to host. What’s next, Kim Kardashian to replace Vanna?” one person previously tweeted.
Nothing has been confirmed and Vanna White hasn’t said anything about Kim Kardashian as a possible Wheel of Fortune replacement. However, the move would likely be a controversial one if it does come to fruition.
