    The Shifting Gears star bought his home in 2012

    Tim Allen has called his Hollywood Hills abode ‘home’ since he snapped it up for a relatively reasonable $1.4 million in 2012.

    The Shifting Gears star’s impressive property is located just off famous Mulholland Drive and boasts three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, and a stunning canyon view.

    The home spans over 2,604 square feet and features an open floor plan that connects the living room, dining room, and den, and boasts French doors and expansive glass windows that offer a spectacular view of the surrounding canyons.

    The interior mixes modern elements with classic accents and boasts luxurious amenities like state-of-the-art appliances in the chef’s kitchen and custom cabinetry alongside a stone island that seats 10.

    For entertainment there is a home theater and sound systems throughout the house, or a relaxing private spa and fitness center.

    Tim’s spacious master suite offers panoramic views and an en-suite bathroom with premium fixtures, a deep soaking tub, and a rain shower.

    The extensive outdoor space is just as impressive with landscaped gardens, sprawling lawns, an outside deck with a fire pit, a water feature, a private pool, and an outdoor shower.

    Tim’s house is also sustainable with solar panels and water-efficient irrigation systems that promote eco-friendly practices.

    The actor lives with his actress wife Jane Hajduk, whom he married in 2006 after five years of dating, and their 15-year-old daughter Elizabeth.

    Tim – whose real name is Timothy Alan Dick – also has an adult daughter, Katherine Dick, from his previous marriage to his college sweetheart, Laura Deibel. They were married for 15 years before they split in 1999 but didn’t finalize their divorce until 2003.

    Tim and Jane married in Grand Lake, Colorado, on October 7, 2006, during an intimate, outdoor ceremony witnessed by just their family.

    Sharing the secret to the success of their 18-year marriage in 2024, the couple admitted communication is key. “We talk,” Jane told People. Tim added: “That’s right, we talk. We do. And we’re good buddies.”

    Tim and Jane have appeared in several movies together including the 2001 comedy-drama Joe Somebody and 2016’s The Shaggy Dog and Zoom.

    Jane has also appeared in numerous TV shows like Benchmarks, Chicago Hope, NCIS, and Monk.

    Their daughter has shown an interest in following in her parent’s footsteps and appeared in the 2022 Disney+ show, The Santa Clauses as her dad’s character Scott Calvin’s 13-year-old daughter, Sandra.

    Speaking about Elizabeth’s audition on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2022, Tim said: “I just wanted her to read and say ‘Hi, Santa!’ as a Christmas gift as an elf. Just walk by once. Just for my wife and I to have.

    Elizabeth is following in her parents’ footsteps

    “She’s great in school, my daughter’s real good in sports. We just didn’t want her getting into [Hollywood, but] she read it so well.”

    Tim also recalled the acting advice he gave his daughter ahead of her first role, telling People: “The advice I gave to my daughter Elizabeth is that the writers, producers, and crew have the most important roles on a production.

    “Being an actor is a wonderful craft, but we are just a part of a teamwork experience.”

    A Father’s Enduring Heart: Exploring Voice Coach Michael Bublé’s Journey of Love, Loss, and Resilience

    When Michael Bublé’s son, Noah, was diagnosed with cancer, his world came to a standstill. The multi-platinum singer, known for his smooth vocals and effortless charm, suddenly found himself in a battle far greater than any stage he had ever performed on. In that moment, fame, fortune, and music became insignificant—only his little boy mattered.

    A Father’s Heartbreak

    Bublé and his wife, Luisana Lopilato, received the devastating news in 2016: Noah, just three years old at the time, had been diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a rare form of liver cancer. The diagnosis shattered their world, forcing them to put everything on hold. Without hesitation, Bublé made the painful but immediate decision to walk away from his career to be by Noah’s side.

    “Everything stopped. My life, my career—nothing mattered except being there for my son,” Bublé recalled in an emotional interview. The once-charismatic performer, who had spent years entertaining millions, found himself living his worst nightmare, facing every fear, heartbreak, and moment of uncertainty alongside his family.

    A Journey of Pain and Hope

    Bublé and his wife remained by Noah’s side throughout every treatment, surgery, and recovery hurdle. The journey was filled with unimaginable pain, but also moments of strength and resilience. Fans around the world sent their prayers and support, as the singer clung to hope, refusing to accept anything other than a future where his son would be healthy again.

    After an intense battle, Noah defied the odds and was declared cancer-free. The experience left an indelible mark on Bublé, changing his perspective on life and his career forever.

    Returning With a New Purpose

    Now, after years of pain, sacrifice, and hope, Michael Bublé is returning—not for the spotlight, but with a renewed purpose. His music, once an escape, has now become a vessel for his deepest emotions, his gratitude, and his undying love for his family. Every note he sings carries the weight of a father’s unbreakable bond with his child.

    “My son’s strength gave me strength. I want to share that message with the world,” Bublé said, emphasizing that his comeback is not just about music—it’s about celebrating life, love, and second chances.

    A Story That Will Leave You Speechless

    Michael Bublé’s journey is more than just a celebrity story—it is a testament to a father’s unwavering love, the power of hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. His emotional return to music is not just a comeback, but a powerful reminder that, at the end of the day, nothing is more important than family.

    The Winning Formula: What’s the Secret Sauce That Lets ‘The Voice’ Consistently Outshine ‘American Idol’? Find Out Now.

    The Voice YouTube

    The Voice and American Idol have returned for new seasons. The two shows are on competing networks: NBC airs The Voice, and ABC airs American Idol. Given that the shows compete against one another, their viewership is often compared. American Idol premiered its 23rd season and The Voice is in its 27th season. Both shows had new cast members this season, which has created excitement for fans. However, even with both shows bringing in new blood, The Voice is drastically outperforming American Idol. Keep reading to find out more.

    The Voice Beats Out The Competition For Views

    The Voice premiered on February 3rd and was viewed by 5,684,000 viewers. American Idol premiered on March 9th, and 4,494,000  viewers tuned in. Early numbers suggested that adding Carrie Underwood to the judges’ panel on Idol would lead it to outperform The Voice this season. Underwood joined Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan on the judges’ panel to replace previous judge Katy Perry, yubi. Carrie May have sparked some initial interest in American Idol, but numbers so far suggest it will not outperform its competitor this season.

    The March 9th premiere episode of American Idol had 4,494,000 viewers. The Voice had 5,470,000 viewers tuned in the next day. The March 16th episode of American Idol had 4,510,000 viewers. Again, The Voice’s episode on March 3rd only brought in 5,646,000 viewers. Even with the shake-up to the judge’s panel with country favorite Carrie Underwood, American Idol is consistently falling short against the competition.  So why is The Voice performing so well this season? What is the show’s ‘secret weapon’?

    ABC  Brings In A Secret Weapon

    This year’s singing competition shows have had cast shake-ups for their 2025 seasons. Carrie Underwood joined American Idol as a judge for Season 23. The Voice saw Adam Levine return to his position as a coach after a five-year hiatus. Fans are thrilled to see Levine return to the show, and the numbers prove it. The show consistently brings in close to a million more viewers each week. Carrie Underwood Joining the Idol cast has not helped the show beat The Voice in ratings for the 2025 season.
    The Voice: Adam LevineThe Voice: Adam Levine
    Adam Levine rejoined The Voice after a nearly six-year hiatus. He is joined by coaches John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, and Michael Buble. Levine has previously coached the first 16 seasons from 2011 to 2019. During his time on the singing competition series, Adam won three times. Fans are loving having Adam back as a coach. They said:

    “Welcome home, Adam.”
    “Great judges this season.”
    “Adam’s voice is just iconic! Love him”
    ” Didn’t realize how much I missed Adam Levine. He is so talented, and his voice is so distinctive. Great to see him.”
    “Love Adam; he is such a great artist.”

    A “Last Man Standing” Reunion Just Pulled Back the Curtain on Tim Allen’s New Sitcom, Revealing a Tough Truth.

    Nancy Travis and Tim Allen in Shifting Gears

    Warning: this article contains SPOILERS for Shifting Gears episode 6.Shifting Gears has continued expanding its Tim Allen shared universe, but the latest guest star highlights the sitcom’s most concerning issue. Shifting Gears follows Allen’s Matt, a widower who owns a car restoration shop and unexpectedly reconnects with his estranged daughter, Riley (Kat Dennings). Riley brings along her children, Carter (Maxwell Simkins) and Georgia (Barrett Margolis), who complete the oddball family. While Shifting Gears follows a classic sitcom formula, the end product has had mixed success. With Shifting Gears season 2 still unconfirmed, Tim Allen’s newest title needs to carefully evaluate its weaknesses as they come to light.

    Although the sitcom has raked in impressive early ratings (likely due to Tim Allen headlining the Shifting Gears cast), the critical response has been less than favorable. Arguably the most recurring issue critics took with Shifting Gears was the main character himself, claiming that Tim Allen’s new character was indistinguishable from his past sitcom roles. Allen previously led Home Improvement as Tim Taylor and Last Man Standing as Mike Baxter, yubi,  both extremely popular titles that leave Matt Parker with generational shoes to fill. Unfortunately, Shifting Gears’s latest Allen-verse callback only highlights its Matt problem.

    Shifting Gears Episode 6 Reunites Tim Allen With Last Man Standing’s Nancy Travis

    Allen And Travis Were Last Man Standing’s Main Couple

    Tim Allen as Matt and Nancy Travis as Charlotte talking in Shifting Gears episode 6

    Shifting Gears has included sporadic callbacks to Allen’s former work, like Mike Baxter’s truck appearing in Shifting Gears episode 3. The sitcom abandoned subtlety in Shifting Gears episode 6 by casting Nancy Travis as Charlotte, a widow who encourages Matt to be open to future romances. From 2011 to 2021, Nancy Travis played Tim Allen’s wife (Vanessa Baxter) in Last Man Standing. With Shifting Gears marking Allen’s first network television role following Last Man Standing’s finale, it makes sense to include major co-stars from past hits. However, the mere presence of Travis underscores the difficulty of Shifting Gears maintaining originality.

    Tim Allen's Matt visiting his wife's grave in Shifting Gears episode 6.

    At first glance, Travis appearance is a fitting sendoff to Last Man Standing, with Charlotte helping Matt move on symbolically synchronized with Allen moving on from previous sitcoms with Shifting Gears. As Vanessa, Travis played Allen’s wife. As Charlotte, Travis played a character who helped Allen move on from his wife. Sadly, the casting distracted more than it aided, as seeing Travis and Allen interact on screen instantly diluted Shifting Gears episode 6 into a Last Man Standing reunion. Charlotte’s last line in the episode only pours salt in the wound.

    Charlotte’s Joke About Matt Being Too Similar To His Ex Highlights How Similar Tim Allen’s Characters Are

    Matt Hasn’t Stood Out Enough

    Despite Charlotte consistently urging Matt to return to the dating pool in Shifting Gears episode 6, she clarifies they can’t pursue a relationship with each other. Charlotte says Matt reminds her too much of “the last man [she] was with,” an obvious nod to Travis and Allen’s history on Last Man Standing. While a clever acknowledgment of the elephant in the room, the truth behind the statement is cause for concern. The poor initial reviews for Shifting Gears can easily be summarized in a simple phrase: Shifting Gears follows a Tim Allen character, not a character played by Tim Allen.

    Shifting Gears failing to set itself apart from Tim Allen’s past sitcoms could be a death sentence.

    Shifting Gears has backed itself into a corner with the frequent Tim Allen references, withholding the freedom that the sitcom needs to develop its own identity. It’s entirely possible that a significant portion of the audience didn’t expect anything groundbreaking from the Shifting Gears premiere, but if the comedy wants a chance at longevity, it needs to find what makes it unique. In a world where titles like Abbott Elementary are redefining genres and High Potential is fundamentally changing the lead actor’s imageShifting Gears failing to set itself apart from Tim Allen’s past sitcoms could be a death sentence.

    How Shifting Gears Can Make Matt Parker Unique From Mike Baxter (& Tim Taylor)

    The Sitcom Needs To Find Its Footing

    Tim Allen as Matt, looking worried, and deep in thought, in Shifting Gears

    While the continual nods to Last Man StandingHome Improvement, and even The Santa Clause are good for a quick laugh, Shifting Gears needs to build a foundation for itself before inviting further comparison to Allen’s old hits. Despite Matt’s character reading similar to both Mike and Tim, Shifting Gears already has a few key distinctions that can help solidify a unique presence— if the sitcom just lets it. The introduction of Matt’s dramatic grief storyline in Shifting Gears episode 4 perfectly displays how there are original aspects that just need to be elaborated on, independent of scene-stealing references.

    Having emotional storylines helps to humanize characters, but Matt’s grief in Shifting Gears additionally helps him stand out. The more time Shifting Gears spends on exploring Matt as a character, the less he will pale in comparison to the decades-long reign of Mike Baxter and Tim Taylor. Though it may disappoint some, Shifting Gears needs to dial back its Allen callbacks. Unless the sitcom gives its characters time to cement themselves, Shifting Gears risks permanently living in the shadow of Tim Allen’s past roles, dooming the comedy and the rest of the cast in the process.

    Country legend Reba McEntire helmed the popular show from 2001 to 2007

    Back in 2001, Reba McEntire went from singing on our radios to making us laugh on TV screens weekly as the lead of her eponymous sitcom.

    Reba followed the ups and downs of single mom Reba Hart — “who works two jobs, who loves her kids and never stops” — as she navigated her chaotic family through the ever-changing dynamics. Between co-parenting with her ex-husband, making nice with his new wife, managing her daughter’s teen pregnancy and everything in between, the show was an easy hub for laughs and became an instant hit.

    However, it was canceled in 2007, following The WB’s merger with UPN, yubi, which formed The CW.

    Over the years, fans of the show have often asked the country singer about a reboot — and she has revealed she’d be open to doing it again.

    “We’ve really been trying hard,” McEntire said while on The Bobby Bones Show in September 2022, Billboard reported. “I really want to work with the people that I got to work with during that six-and-a-half years. It was fun, the cast, the crew, everybody we got to work with and play with, they were wonderful people. We wanted to get back together like a reunion and have fun. So, hopefully, that will happen one day.”

    Now, as new audiences are being introduced to the show via Netflix, find out what the main cast of Reba has been up since the show went off air.

    Leading the show was Reba McEntire, who had long been a country musician before the series premiered in 2001. And while she was at ease playing sold-out arenas, she admitted while on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that acting was a bit of a learning curve.

    “The memorization is hard for me cause it’s a new script every week. When I was singing, it rhymed, had a melody to it and none of these [lines] do,” she joked.

    After the show went off air, McEntire went back to her music career. She released albums Love Revival, Keep on Loving You and All the Women That I Am in 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and continued to tour.

    The country legend, 69, shows no signs of slowing down. Earlier this month, she hosted the Academy of Country Music Awards for a whopping 17th time and continued her work as a mentor on The Voice. It was also announced that the Oklahoma native will be heading back to the small screen sometime this year, playing the lead in an NBC sitcom titled Happy Place.

    McEntire has also found success in her private life and has been happily in love with fellow actor Rex Linn since 2020. She has one grown son, Shelby, with ex-husband Narvel Blackstock.

    Playing Reba’s ex-husband in the show was Christopher Rich, who also had a steady career before landing the role of Brock Hart.

    Prior to appearing on Reba, he had acting credits in classics such as Another World, The Charmings, The George Carlin Show, Murphy Brown and more. Post-Reba, Rich went made several appearances on Boston Legal, Desperate Housewives, Melissa & Joey and several other shows.

    His last acting credit was in 2021’s Spiked.

    According to IMDb, he has been married to wife Eva Halina Rich since June 2000 and they have two daughters together. He is also dad to another daughter from his previous marriage to Nancy Frangione.

    These days, people might recognize Melissa Peterman as Brenda Sparks from Young Sheldon. However, before she lent her comedic chops to the hit CBS show, she played Brock’s dim-witted, albeit big-hearted new wife, Barbra Jean Hart, on Reba.

    In the years that followed, she starred in Pretty the Series, Baby Daddy and made several appearances on other shows. Peterman will also be reuniting with McEntire in Happy Place.

    In real life, Peterman has been married to her husband John Brady since 1999. The couple has a son named Riley David, whom they welcomed in 2005.

    You may have seen JoAnna Garcia Swisher in shows such as Freaks and Geeks, Party of Five and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, but the actress truly broke through as Cheyenne Hart, Reba’s eldest daughter who ultimately raised a baby with her high school boyfriend turned husband, Van Montgomery.

    After Reba, Garcia Swisher continued working, landing roles on Privileged, Gossip Girl, Better with You, The Mindy Project, The Astronauts Wives Club and many more. She is currently starring as Maddie Townsend on Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias.

    The actress married her husband, former New York Yankees player Nick Swisher, in 2010. They welcomed their first daughter Emerson Jay Swisher on May 21, 2013 and followed up with their second girl, Sailor Stevie Swisher, on June 28, 2016.

    Steve Howey stole the hearts of many as Reba’s well-meaning, less-than-bright son-in-law and Cheyenne’s husband, Van Montgomery.

    After the show wrapped in 2007, Howey continued his acting career, landing roles in CtrlLove Bites, Sons of Anarchy and many others. In 2011, he came back to the small screen full-time, starring as Kevin Ball in Showtime’s hit Shameless.

    Howey married fellow actor Sarah Shahi in 2009. The couple welcomed three kids — son William Wolf, now 14, and twins Violet Moon and Knox Blue, now 9 — before calling it quits in 2020.

    Scarlett Pomers had a solid résumé before she joined the cast of Reba as Kyra Hart, the sarcastic middle daughter. Among her most notable credits were roles in Erin Brockovich and Star Trek: Voyager.

    Following her tenure on the show — which she left for a time to seek treatment for an eating disorder — Pomers pursued a music career and released an EP called Insane in 2010.

    The following article contains spoilers for Happy’s Place, Season 1.

    Reba McEntire’s new NBC sitcom, Happy’s Place, is looking to reunite the actress with more of her Reba co-stars in Season 2. Showrunner Kevin Abbott recently shared his plans for the new season.

    Happy’s Place premiered in October 2024, with McEntire starring as Bobbie McAllister, a woman who inherits a bar in Tennessee founded by her father. Bobbie soon finds out she has a half-sister, who also has a claim to the bar’s ownership after the death of their father. As one of NBC’s new sitcoms, Happy’s Place performed well for the network, which led to a second season renewal ahead of the first season’s finale. Now, with a second season on the way, yubi, Abbott revealed to TV Insider that he wants to bring back even more stars from McEntire’s original 2000s sitcom, Reba.

    Jacob (Harrison Ford) and Cara (Helen Mirren) Dutton appear in 1923 Season 2

    Happy’s Place sees McEntire’s Reba co-star Melissa Peterman playing a main role as Gabby, one of the bartenders at the titular bar. The first season also included notable guest appearances from Shameless star Steve Howey, who played Van Montgomery in Reba and Christopher Rich, who played Reba’s selfish ex-husband Brock in the 2000s sitcom, who appeared in an episode as Maverick.

    “We definitely want to bring Joanna [Garcia Swisher] in,” Abbott shared, “We’ve been talking to her. It’s a matter of timing for her.” Garcia played Reba’s daughter, Cheyenne Hart-Montgomery, on the sitcom and went on to gain further popularity in other TV shows, including Once Upon a Time (as Ariel), The Astronaut Wives Club (Betty Grissom), and for hosting Netflix’s reality dating show The Ultimatum: Queer Love. It remains to be seen if the show will bring back Scarlett Pomers or Mitch Holleman, the two actors who rounded out the rest of the Hart family on Reba back in the day.

    Happy’s Place Showrunner Teases Season 2’s Story

    Whether or not Garcia will be able to make an appearance on Happy’s Place Season 2 remains to be seen, but Abbott also shared other plans he has for the second season of the successful NBC sitcom. With Season 2 now confirmed, Abbott has the opportunity to capitalize on McEntire’s chemistry with her real-life partner Rex Linn, who plays Emmett on the series. As the show goes forward, he wants to explore “Gabby’s motherhood, the Bobbie-Emmett relationship, [and also] Isabella and her backstory.”

    Mid-century Modern stars

    “Steve’s becoming a really interesting character to me,” Abbott added. “We want to find out more about Takoda’s home life. […] We wanted to spend a lot of time in Season One letting the audience get to know the characters. Then we’ll get to branch out a little bit more in Season Two now.”

    Season 1 of Happy’s Place is now streaming on Peacock.

    The Conners: Exclusive Trailer for the ABC Sitcom’s Final Season Touches Fan’s Heart

    TVLine can exclusively reveal the trailer for the seventh and final season of the Roseanne spinoff, which returns with the first of six farewell episodes on Wednesday, March 26 (ABC, 8/7c). The footage — a combination of new and archival footage dating back to sitcom’s initial 1988-1997 run — is accompanied by wise words from “perfect parent” Dan Conner, who offers a pretty good summation of America’s most beloved working-class family.

    “We treat each other with respect… we work hard… and no matter what, we stick together,” he says. “We always said if the kids were still alive at the end of the day, we did our job. I think we did better than that. It makes me realize that we did the right thing by not selling them.”

    In the final season premiere, “Jackie stumbles upon an opportunity to sue the pharmaceutical company responsible for Roseanne‘s addiction, which sparks a family debate,” according to the official logline. Additionally, Becky and Tyler give cohabitation a shot, and Darlene receives a promotion at work and hopes that it will afford her more quality time with Ben.

    As TVLine exclusively reported, Young Sheldon’s Zoe Perry — Laurie Metcalf’s real-life daughter — will appear in two Season 7 episodes as a cop who gives Jackie a hard time about considering rejoining the police force at her age. Meanwhile, Seth Green will appear in three episodes as Chad, “Darlene’s new friend at the Lobo who is going through a separation from his wife.” Per our sister site Deadline, “Chad and Darlene confide in each other and bond, a little too closely, over their similar biting humor.” (TVLine also revealed which former cast members will not be back, which you can read more about here.)

    Including Roseanne Season 10, the sitcom revival will have aired eight seasons total — just one season shy of Roseanne’s original nine-season run. Combined, Roseanne and The Conners will have produced a whopping 343 episodes.

    “We carry the weight of the Roseanne legacy. It’s a big, big deal,” executive producer Bruce Helford told TVLine last spring, on the heels of ABC‘s final-season order. “I can promise you this: They will never win the lottery, and they will never be rich.”

    Added fellow EP Dave Caplan: “The whole time that we’ve been doing The Conners, we’ve never stopped feeling the pressure of the legacy of the entire run. We owe it to these characters because they’re the same characters. That is at the forefront of our minds with all of the stories that we’ve broken for The Conners, yubi, and it will be on our minds for the last six.” And now it’s time to see how they bring this decades-long saga to a close.

    Drew Carey has hosted The Price Is Right for almost 18 years, but in that time, he’s barely watched more than a few minutes of the show.

    The beloved host opened up in a recent interview with Parade, where he promoted the highly-anticipated release of the 30th-anniversary edition of The Drew Carey Show: The Complete Series on DVD, out this fall. In the interview, Carey admitted he doesn’t like watching himself on TV.

    “Not a lot of my fans know [that] I don’t like watching myself on TV. I have a real hard time,” he said. “I’ve sat in the editing room a few times on The Drew Carey Show, and I had to leave. I don’t do it that often because every time I saw it, I was like, ‘That’s what I look like? And that’s [how] I walk?’ I get so tired of seeing myself.”

    Carey is on TV practically every day with The Price is Right and The Price Is Right at Night, not to mention reruns of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the improv comedy show he hosted from 1998 to 2007. However, the comedian can’t stand seeing himself on-screen.

    He recalled how a Price is Right producer once made him watch himself so he could give him notes on his performance. “I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ He was like, ‘I know, I apologize.’ And he really had to twist my arm to make me watch myself, even on The Price Is Right,” Carey explained.

    “So I’ve always been like this. I don’t watch The Price Is Right. I don’t watch The Drew Carey Show. Once in a while, I’ll put it on [to] just like see a minute of it, or Whose Line,” he added.

    Price Is Right's Drew Carey Is the New O.G. of Game Show Hosts, and He's  Here to Stay

    Carey has been open in the past about his mental health and how he avoids things that can be triggering. Speaking to Us Weekly back in February, the game show host shared, “I’m very careful. I watch my mental health all the time. And when it’s time to stay off social media, I stay off social media at night. I read the newspaper every day. I do the Jumble and I look at the headlines. [Sometimes] I go, nope, not today.”

    Even though Carey doesn’t like seeing himself on TV, he loves hosting the Price Is Right, which celebrated its milestone 10,000th episode in February.

    “I’m playing games all day! There are more than 70 different contests on the show, so I’m never bored,” he told Us Weekly. “It’s like game night at home: What are we going to play tonight? Is it going to be Scrabble or Monopoly or Cards Against Humanity? I’m also really interested in how people arrive at decisions under pressure.”

    He said he wants to host “forever… as long as I’m mentally and physically able to show up. It’s such a fun thing! The money’s nice, but it’s just a cool job. I don’t have to go to work, I get to go to work! It’s a privilege to be here, an honor. So we’ll see how long I hold up.”

    ‘Wheel of Fortune’: Vanna White’s Future for Season 43.

    Now Pat Sajak is done with Wheel of Fortune for good after he wrapped up the celebrity version on Tuesday, June 10, which brings up the question of is Vanna White returning to the game show? Vanna was back for Season 42 after Sajak retired and Ryan Seacrest signed on, but could she also soon be headed for retirement?

    Fans will be relieved to hear that the beloved letter-turner is definitely coming back for Season 43, alongside Seacrest. A premiere date has not yet been announced, but it typically premieres the first Monday after Labor Day. The duo will also host the next season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune together, which will be Ryan Seacrest’s first celebrity season. Celebrity WOF does not yet have a premiere date. They wrapped up their first season together on Friday, June 6, after 196 episodes. White and Seacrest have known each other for 20 years.

    Season 43 will mark Vanna White’s 44th year with Wheel of Fortune. She joined the show in 1982 and spent 42 years co-hosting alongside Pat Sajak.

    In an interview with ABC7, Vanna White, 68, shared how it felt working with Seacrest. “This whole season, I have been smiling from day one,” she shared. “He’s so easy to work with. He’s fun. He’s easygoing and he makes my job easy. You come to work and you make people happy. What could be better?”

    She doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. However, according to TODAY.com, White only extended her contract through the 2025-2026 season. So, could this be her last?

    Along with her contract, Vanna White negotiated a pay raise with Wheel of Fortune since her last one was 20 years ago. According to TMZ, White’s lawyer Bryan Freedman told Sony Pictures his client hoped for for 50% of what Sajak made.

    However, a source told People that the previous report was “inaccurate,” including the claim that White accepted an offer of $100,000 per episode to continue the Celebrity edition of the show.

    “50 percent of Pat’s salary is so outrageous that no one in their right mind could say that it’s fair,” the source stated. “The negotiation is asking for much more than 50 percent of his salary. It’s asking for the same pay — if not more.”

    The source added that for years, “Vanna was told, ‘If you fight this, you will lose your job. You’re lucky to have the job.’ And when people tell you that for so long, you believe it,’” before adding that White is now ready to fight for her future. “She’s a really, really sweet person. She deserves so much more.”

    As TV Insider previously reported, Sajak’s annual salary from the show was thought to be around $15 million a year. Whereas, the source told People that White made around $3 million.

    White told Parade in September 2024 that she isn’t ready to step away from Wheel of Fortune just yet.

    “I wasn’t ready to retire, so that’s why I’m continuing on,” she told the outlet. “Because I enjoy it. I love coming to work. I love watching people win. I love changing people’s lives. There’s a lot of stuff on TV that is so dramatic, and this is a half-hour of family fun and escape from so much. It’s such a positive family show. I love being part of that. So I’m not ready to leave.”

    However, White said that with all the electronics the board has “obviously they could do it without me.” “But people love watching what I’m wearing,” she said.

    Wheel of Fortune’s Summer Hiatus: What to Know About the Current Rerun Schedule and When New Episodes Return

    For decades, Wheel of Fortune has been a beloved fixture on weeknight television across the United States, dazzling audiences with its iconic spinning wheel, challenging puzzles, and the dynamic duo of its hosts.

    Currently, the legendary Vanna White continues to reveal the letters, now alongside the show’s new co-host, Ryan Seacrest, who stepped into the spotlight for Season 42.

    However, eagle-eyed superfans may have noticed a shift in the evening routine recently. If your daily spin has felt a bit familiar, you’re not imagining things – Wheel of Fortune has indeed entered its annual summer rerun phase.

    The reason for this change is simple: the show’s 42nd season officially wrapped production earlier this month, specifically on Friday, June 6, 2025. This means that for the next few weeks, viewers will be treated to a selection of memorable episodes from the past season.

    For instance, if you’ve tuned in this week, you’ve likely been enjoying reruns from the “Festivals & Celebrations” themed week, which originally aired from March 31 to April 4, 2025. This period of re-broadcasts is a standard practice for syndicated game shows, allowing the production team to gear up for the next exciting season.

    So, when can fans expect to shout “Solve!” to brand-new puzzles? All signs point to a September 2025 return for Season 43.

    This prediction is based on the show’s consistent premiere schedule in previous years: Season 41 launched on September 11, 2023, and Season 42, marking Ryan Seacrest’s debut, kicked off on September 9, 2024.

    While an official premiere date for Season 43 has yet to be formally announced by the show, this consistent pattern suggests viewers can anticipate new episodes to begin airing sometime in the first or second week of September, typically the first Monday after Labor Day.
