Vanna White Joins Ryan Seacrest on 'American Idol' Ahead of His 'Wheel of Fortune' Debut

The media personality is set to take over Pat Sajak's 'Wheel of Fortune' job later this year.

Seacrest noted that he's "so excited" to work with White, so much so that he was hoping she'd be OK getting a head start by helping him introduce the next Idol finalist. With that, in a nod to Wheel, White turned to several audience members who flipped over individual letters that spelled out Ajii, the name of the next performer. "I can say, along with the rest of America, that it's been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years, making us smile every night and feel right at home with them."
