up it's a good day ♪
- Welcome back to
"GoodDay Stateline".
the one and only Vanna
White to the show today.
Good morning, Vanna.
- Good morning, how are you?
- Great, it is so
nice to meet you.
So many of our viewers are so
excited for this interview.
We feel like you hang
out with us every day
and now we finally get
a chance to talk to you.
So we have some great
questions from our viewers
but before we get
to those questions
that you guys have going on.
- What fun we have had doing
these celebrities shows
and the most important
thing is they have raised
so much money for their charity.
As you see, you know, see
from last Thursday's episode
to see them.
They're funny, they, they
just banter back and forth
and it's just, it's just fun.
And also I think the
folks at home get a chance
to see their favorite
celebrities be themselves
and have a good time.
- I think you're right.
I think that's such a fun way
to get into the lives of
celebrities a little bit.
I think in 2020, and
now in 2021, we've,
we've been getting to do that.
Thanks to a Skype
interviews and Zoom meetings
and so it's so cool to
be able to see that.
So that'll be on
How many weeks of the "Celebrity
Wheel of Fortune" is there?
- Eight.
- Okay.
- We did a eight, one
hour episodes, yes.
- [Michelle] All right, so-
- So you can tune in
for a couple of months
- So excited for that.
And now we gotta ask you
some of these questions.
A lot of little girls, you know,
they dream to grow up to
be the next Vanna White.
We wanna know from you though,
what was your
dream job as a kid?
- Oh, my dream job, goodness.
I did a bunch of stuff as a kid.
I'm trying to think
I always wanted to be on TV
from the time I
was 10 years old.
I just pursued that dream.
And anyone out there
that is, you know,
has a dream, go for it.
Don't give up, you can do it.
That's always the way I felt.
So just go for what you,
what your heart tells you to.
- On your first day
did you think that
this many years later
you would still
be doing that job?
- No, I did not.
As a matter of fact, I
remember, after I started
I was sitting in the
makeup chair next to Pat
and I turned to him and said,
"I wonder where we'll
be in 10 years."
And it has been 38, crazy.
- That is so crazy but you know,
when something works, it works
and there's something else
we all know when we watch you
is that you're so stylish.
viewers wanted to know
if you get to keep
any of your dresses.
- I do not get to
keep my clothes,
but you know they do let me
borrow them sometimes, you know,
when I go to like charity
events and things like that.
So I haven't bought an
evening gown in a while.
So they do let me borrow them.
And where would I put
the 7,000 plus dresses
that I've worn over the
- Absolutely, so that
would lead me to believe
you've never worn
the same dress twice.
- You know, I would
like to say that
but I have worn one dress
twice in all the dresses.
And that was
obviously a mistake,
that it just kinda slipped
through the cracks.
And that's the only time
but it did one time, so.
- Huh!
- What can I say?
You know, it happened and
hopefully it won't happen again.
dress would get a lot
if it was on E-Bay or something,
the one dress that
Vanna wore twice.
- Woo, never thought of that.
We had another viewer
who was wondering,
not sure if you manage
to count the steps
you get in each show
but if you have any idea how
much walking you really do
in an episode.
But I would say I've walked
millions of miles over 38 years.
- Another viewer was wondering
this question actually
comes from my sister-in-law.
So first of all, she
wanted me to tell you
she loves when you
wear pantsuits.
She loves your dresses but she
loves when you wear pants too
she gets really excited
whenever she sees you in pants.
before you start or if
you find out, you know,
as the players are playing
where the letters are.
- That's a good question.
know the puzzle beforehand.
Right before each round, I
go behind the poster board
paper that has it mapped out,
Like if it's the three bears.
I can kind of see
where I have to stand.
Like I have to move
over three spaces
to stand at the
end of the puzzle.
So I do know them beforehand.
- I would imagine if
you did not know them
that would be very difficult
and you would probably
trip, going back and forth.
mean, what would I do?
I be like ,"Where's the R,
I don't know where the R is"
is because I don't know
what the puzzle is.
- Oh, we have another
question for you.
you've turned over in
your career, Vanna?
- Again, millions.
- Oh, we are so excited that
"Celebrity Wheel of Fortune"
is now on to, you know,
warm up our winter.
Thank you so much for
spending time with us, Vanna
- Wasn't it nice for her
to say bye-bye like that.

of Fortune" too.
