With the news of Pat Sajak's upcoming departure from his decades-long stint as the host of Wheel of Fortune, fans of the show might be alarmed when they tune in this week and notice that Vanna White is nowhere to be found.
隨著Pat Sajak即將離開他數(shù)十年來擔(dān)任Wheel of Fortune主持人的消息傳出,該節(jié)目的粉絲們可能會(huì)在本周收看時(shí)感到震驚,并注意到凡娜·懷特不見了。
Not to fret, however: White's absence from this week's episodes isn't indicative of a permanent change. White merely missed a day of filming back in August as she recovered from COVID-19, which means she called in sick for five episodes of the show.
不過,不用擔(dān)心:懷特缺席本周的劇集并不意味著永久性的改變。懷特在8月份剛剛從新冠肺炎中康復(fù),只錯(cuò)過了一天的拍攝,這意味著她請(qǐng)了五集病假。
Addressing White's absence at the beginning of Monday's episode, Sajak said, "You'll notice Vanna is not here, and I have to say that Ms. White has tested positive for COVID. That's the bad news. The good news is I talked to her just a little while ago and she feels fine. She has a little sniffle. But she tested positive and that's the way it goes, so she will not be with us here this week."
在周一的節(jié)目開始時(shí),針對(duì)懷特的缺席,Sajak說:“你會(huì)注意到凡娜不在,我不得不說White女士的新冠病毒檢測(cè)呈陽性。這是個(gè)壞消息。好消息是,我不久前剛剛和她談過,她感覺很好。她有點(diǎn)流鼻涕。但她檢測(cè)呈陽性,情況就是這樣,所以她本周不會(huì)和我們?cè)谝黄稹?rdquo;
2023 California Teacher of the Year recipient Bridgette Donald-Blue will take over White's letter-turning duties from Oct. 2 to Oct. 6 — a fitting choice, as the show is celebrating Teacher's Week.
2023年加州年度教師獎(jiǎng)獲得者布里奇特·唐納德·布魯將于10月2日至10月6日接替懷特的信件轉(zhuǎn)交職責(zé),這是一個(gè)合適的選擇,因?yàn)樵摴?jié)目正在慶祝教師周。
EW has learned that since teachers had already arrived to film the episodes in Los Angeles over the summer, the Teacher's Week episodes could not be rescheduled. However, later episodes that were scheduled to film the next day (not part of Teacher's Week) were rescheduled for a later date, allowing White time to recover.
EW了解到,由于教師們已經(jīng)在夏天來到洛杉磯拍攝這些劇集,因此教師周的劇集無法重新安排。然而,原定于第二天拍攝的后期劇集(不是教師周的一部分)被重新安排在晚些時(shí)候,這讓懷特有時(shí)間恢復(fù)。
According to TVLine, White has only missed the show three times, and her last absence was in 1991.
據(jù)TVLine報(bào)道,懷特只缺席過三次,上一次缺席是在1991年。
Sajak, meanwhile, announced in June that he'll be retiring from his hosting duties at the end of season 41, which kicked off last month. "It's been a wonderful ride," he said at the time.
與此同時(shí),薩亞克在6月宣布,他將在上個(gè)月開始的第41季結(jié)束時(shí)退出主持工作。“這是一次美妙的旅程,”他當(dāng)時(shí)說。
Ryan Seacrest was subsequently announced as the new host of Wheel, and said in a statement, "I can't wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White."
Ryan Seacrest隨后被宣布為 Wheel,并在一份聲明中表示,“我迫不及待地想繼續(xù)旋轉(zhuǎn)輪子的傳統(tǒng),與偉大的Vanna White一起工作。”
Last month, White extended her contract to stay on Wheel through the 2025-26 season. The move came after lengthy negotiations in which White attempted to secure her first pay raise in 18 years. Prior to the new contract, she reportedly made $3 million each year, a fraction of Sajak's salary — and it is now believed that White received a "significant salary increase" with the extension, according to Deadline.
上個(gè)月,懷特將合同延長(zhǎng)至2025-26賽季。此前,懷特進(jìn)行了漫長(zhǎng)的談判,試圖確保她18年來的首次加薪。據(jù)Deadline報(bào)道,在新合同簽訂之前,據(jù)報(bào)道,她每年的收入為300萬美元,只是Sajak工資的一小部分?,F(xiàn)在人們認(rèn)為,隨著合同的延長(zhǎng),White的工資“大幅上漲”。
Seacrest recently told PEOPLE that fans shouldn't expect any major shakeups to the show once he joins Wheel of Fortune. "With this game show, it's such a success and has been for generations," he said. "You don't mess with it, just don't mess with it. Just get out of the way, say 'Good evening,' and let's play."
西克雷斯特最近告訴《人物》雜志,一旦他加入Wheel of Fortune,粉絲們就不應(yīng)該期待這部劇有任何重大的調(diào)整。他說:“有了這個(gè)游戲節(jié)目,它已經(jīng)成功了好幾代人。”。“你不要惹它,只是不要惹它。只要讓開,說‘晚上好’,讓我們玩吧。”
