Ryan Seacrest Reveals Vanna White Advice Before First 'Wheel of Fortune' (Exclusive)

Vanna White got a birthday surprise from her “Wheel of Fortune” family.

To celebrate the beloved letter-turner’s 68th birthday, the iconic game show’s official Instagram account shared a video of host Ryan Seacrest and social correspondent Maggie Sajak surprising White with a cake and candles.

While Sajak is seen standing in the room when White enters, Seacrest jumps up from behind a cabinet singing “Happy Birthday” to their “dear Vanna.”

“Oh, thank you guys so much,” White says after the two finish their tune.

The “Wheel of Fortune” star seemed to be touched by the moment.

Seacrest, after asking if they successfully surprised her, adds jokingly, “I’ve been down there for 45 minutes. My knees are aching.”

White then makes a wish, blows out the candles — after a few tries — and takes a bite of her “delicious” cake.

“We love you. I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful year,” Sajak says.

Watch ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Host Ryan Seacrest Surprise Vanna White for the Best Reason

Ryan Seacrest pulled off the ultimate surprise for Vanna White — and he had the sweetest reason for doing so.

The duo famously star on Wheel of Fortune together, and Ryan decided he should find a way to celebrate Vanna’s 68th birthday on February 18. As folks saw in an Instagram clip, he and WoF social media correspondent Maggie Sajak chose to mark the occasion by throwing their co-worker a surprise party. But in typical Ryan fashion, the celebration was held in the most unexpected of places.

As viewers watched Ryan and Maggie hide out in Vanna’s dressing room, it didn’t take long before she spotted the two in her safe space. What’s more, they made sure to give Vanna a birthday cake and balloons, all while they serenaded her with a heartfelt (yet also off-key) rendition of “Happy Birthday.”

“We just had to surprise Vanna for her birthday! 🎂,” the caption read alongside the snippet. “Happiest of birthdays to the one and only, Vanna White!”
