Behind the scenes of the Wheel of Fortune relaunch, tensions are rising, and the latest buzz is that reality star Kim Kardashian could be the next letter turner. According to insiders, the new pairing of Vanna White, 67, and 49-year-old Ryan Seacrest, who is stepping in for the departing Pat Sajak, isn't meshing well. They are reportedly struggling to find their rhythm on the show.
Producers are allegedly considering Kim Kardashian as a potential replacement if Vanna decides to leave the show she has been a part of since 1982. "They've put together a list of possible replacements for Vanna, and Kim is at the top," says a source. "Kim is a very close friend of Ryan's and would attract a whole new audience."
"Ryan wants to rejuvenate the show with a younger, sexier vibe. He was instrumental in the success of the Kardashian reality show and has a lot of faith in that family," the source continues.
Vanna, who was initially optimistic about working with Ryan, is reportedly finding the lack of chemistry between them challenging. "After Pat quit, Vanna was hopeful about teaming up with Ryan, but they just don't click. Plus, she could be his mother!" says an insider.
Although no formal offer has been made yet, sources close to Kim indicate that she would seriously consider the opportunity if it arose.
