Wheel of Fortune’s Vanna White, 66, stuns in a tight orange dress as she plays pickleball with co-host Pat Sajak on air
WHEEL of Fortune’s Vanna White showed off her curves in a tight orange dress while playing pickleball during an episode.
The Wheel of Fortune official Instagram account shared a short clip of Pat and Vanna enjoying a game of the popular sport together.

The video was captioned: “RAD! FROM! PICKLEBALL!!!”
“We’re going to play pickleball,” Pat said in the clip.
“It’s the fastest growing sport in America.”
Pat was then seen playing pickleball with Vanna while both struggled to make sure they served the ball over the net in the middle of the set.
The pair hilariously stumbled around as they worked to serve the pickleball and score a point.
Vanna wore a thigh-length orange dress that showed off her figure.
She paired it with crisp white low-top sneakers.
The mainstay of Wheel of Fortune wore her brown and blonde locks in loose curls around her face.

“Several communities in Margaritaville have pickleball courts and more are on the way,” Pat said.
He then signed off, “Thanks for watching, paddle up and see you next time!”
THREE FOR ALL
Meanwhile, Vanna has been tapped to compete in the Celebrity Wheel of Fortune rather than host in the fairly rare spin.
She faces none other than Jeopardy’s Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik on May 10th.
For the first time in more than 25 years, Vanna, 65, competes on the Wheel of Fortune instead of spinning letters.
She meets Jeopardy! co-hosts Ken, 48, and Mayim, 47.
Vanna once competed on her show alongside Pat Sajak in 1997, while the late Alex Trebek – the Jeopardy! from 1984 until his death in 2020 – hosted Wheel instead.
This time Pat will be hosting and the Merv Griffin gang made the collaboration official with a since-deleted Instagram group promo [above].
Alex’s two successors have never turned on Wheel, however, so it should be quite a sight to behold.
As announced, Ultimate Host Night will be part of upcoming episodes of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and will air at 9 p.m. ET.
ABC recently announced the exciting news, writing in a statement:
“Wednesday, May 10, attendees will go head-to-head in Ultimate Host Night for charity, with Vanna White calling letters instead of her (for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital) against Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings (for the Equal) Justice Initiative) and Mayim Bialik (for the Mental Wealth Alliance).”
‘ONE TO WATCH!’
Fans of both shows buckled up as one wrote on Facebook: “Vanna, Ken and Mayim are spinning the wheel……this is going to be a celebrity wheel of fortune to watch!”
Another wrote: “I strongly prefer Ken than [Jeopardy!] host, but Mayim is extremely intelligent.”
“I wish they would compete on Jeopardy,” wished a third, but the quiz show has a rule against it.
Meanwhile, Ken is hosting his final week of Jeopardy! Mayim will return on May 1st and will be in charge for the final four months.
As she does so, Ken Jeopardy! Masters in prime time on ABC for three weeks beginning May 8th.
The special, which hasn’t finished filming due to some unexpected setbacks, features the legends that fans seem to miss, like Mattea, as well as Amy Schneider and James Holzhauer.
The special Wheel Host Only episode takes place one hour after Jeopardy! Masters will be broadcast on the same network
