Kim Kardashian might soon be adding the role of professional letter-turner to her resume.
American Idol host Ryan Seacrest taking over from Pat Sajak as the host of Wheel of Fortune following the latter’s retirement won’t be the only talked-about shakeup if Kim is thrown into the mix. It’s believed the Kardashians star will replace Vanna White, since she and Ryan have yet to get on the same page.
A source has claimed Vanna and Ryan “are like oil and water while they struggle to find their rhythm.” For the last few decades, Vanna has been Pat’s right-hand woman, so, understandably, working with Ryan is an adjustment for her.

If Ryan and Vanna are unable to co-host together, then Kim is likely yo be considered to take the OG letter-presenter’s spot. But that’s only if Vanna decides to call it quits.
“They’ve compiled a list of folks to replace Vanna, and Kim Kardashian is at the top,” an insider told Life & Style. “Kim is a very close friend of Ryan’s and would bring a whole new audience.”
The source added: “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!”

Ryan and Vanna reportedly not meshing is a bit surprising, being that “after Pat quit, Vanna was optimistic about working with Ryan, but they have zero chemistry and no vibe,” the source explained. Although sources revealed that “no formal offer has materialized, people close to Kim indicate it’s something she would seriously consider.”
Online fans are not thrilled about the possibility of Kim stepping in for Vanna. “Nooooooooo. I will stop watching if that happens,” one person commented online. Another added: “Oh hell no!” Although some didn’t want Kim to replace Vanna, there were some who welcomed the idea.
“Yes!! We would all watch it then,” one claimed on the internet. If Kim were to land a gig on Wheel of Fortune, she’d be very booked and busy. It was announced on Monday that she scored another starring role in an upcoming Hulu show.
Halle Berry, Glenn Close, and the Kardashians star will be working together in All’s Fair, a new legal drama from the mastermind of Ryan Murphy. Kim’s contribution to Ryan’s new project goes beyond acting, given that she and the American Horror Story creator will be executive producing All’s Fair along with Halle and Glenn.
