Wow, Vanna. 35 years. 6500 outfits. :wow:

Was that the start of Wheel of Fortune with Chuck Wollery hosting, or did she start at the same time as Pat Sajack?

The original "Wheel of Fortune" hostess was Susan Stafford.. she left in October of 1982...Vanna was selected as one of three fill-ins, then in December of that year, Vanna got the job permanently.

Chuck Woolery was already gone (Dec. 1981) when Vanna became hostess.


Interesting factoid.....
Vanna's first appearance in a game show was on the June 20, 1980, episode of "The Price Is Right", in which she was among the first four contestants.
She did not make it onstage, but the clip of her running to Contestants' Row was rebroadcast as part of "The Price Is Right 25th Anniversary Special" in August 1996 and also was featured on the special broadcast "Game Show Moments Gone Bananas".
