What are the odds Pat hit that?

Not every woman you see has to be treated as a sexual object. Not even models.

Right. But what are the odds though

Sure, but when you work with someone for 40 years the thought has to come to mind. I'm not even talking about it as if she's a woman. I'm talking about it as two rich people around the same age intimately working close to each other for 40 years.

I’d say it’s equally likely they despise each other but are both fully aware that they hit the career lottery and aren’t about to upset that.

Odds of what?

No. No it doesn’t.

I love Cherry Grove. Used to go every summer as a kid.

Objectifying women is not a laughing matter. How could you be so callous and joke about such a thing?

$84.5 million of that is definitely from the yarn.

And she still goes to work.
Granted, her job isn't that hard and has some perks, but if I had 85m, you would have a hard time getting me off my private island.

Cal Worthington has her beat I’m pretty sure. Not too many others though.

Such guys are just little boys who never got much in life, with absolutely no trophies nor victories that they have no choice but to turn to their appendages as a final means of feeling better about themselves.
Comfort yourself with that knowledge.
Edit : I bet some didn’t even understand that I was criticising the guy. Redditors are absolutely horrible at reading and comprehension. Makes me wonder how many of you actually had an education.

She works 2 weeks a 'season' and her and Pat get sloshed during filming all while getting paid. It's probably still do it, too, at that point.

I remember passing the city welcome sign. Welcome to North Myrtle Beach, SC, hometown of Vanna White.

I can't understand that. What's the point of not working? I'd go berserk. Life fucking sucks without a job.

Probably the easiest on-air job in television. I can't think of an easier TV job. Maybe Judge Judy's bailiff? But still, he reprimands people every once in awhile.
She definitely won the jackpot in life.

Not a good person, but vince mcmahon started commentating in 1971, and showing up periodically since then.
Google said William Roache was Ken Barlow In Coronation Street from 1960 – Present, so 22 years longer than vanna, but as an acted role.
She is kind of a presenter. Google said the longest career as a TV presenter is 67 years 151 days, achieved by Sir David Attenborough (UK) between 2 September 1953 and 31 January 2021. So he stopped last year, but still a ton of years.
But she is way up there. Even Trebek only hosted jeopardy for 37 years. Starting in 1984 when vanna was already on the air 2 years, since 1982. Crazy.

The boredom of turning numbers for 40 years would have ended me long before this, congrats to her on not ending it.

Parents live there now and it's a perfect retirement community.
Top tip: Go to the Myrtle Beach Mall nearby to see the saddest, most empty mall you'll see in your life.

My parents used to have a condo in Cherry Grove, I would drive down from Ohio for a week or two each year, loved it.

She looks great but ... she doesn't look like Vanna White. ... I can't put my finger on it. It's like someone Berenstain bears'd her face.
TheSuiteLifeOfChase t1_j0fuut4 wrote
Something that you may be surprised to know, she actually impacts the game. She has to touch the screen at the right spot or it throws everything off. You'd think they'd just like, make it look like she's important and then have a producer offstage pressing the buttons, but nah, she actually causes the letters to appear. I think that does make it at least a little less cushy

Some of us are able to get satisfaction and fullfillment from things other than a job. Everyone is different, and your stance isn't wrong, but assuming everyone has to be like you is wrong.

It’s funny that she got the job because she was the last person to interview for the gig and the hiring team were exhausted and fine with the job she did. She also was on an episode of The Price is Right in the Bob Barker era but failed to make it out of Contestants’ Row

What's the difference? Job or hobby, you want to outdo everyone else at it and live off the challenge.
elpajaroquemamais t1_j0hodcm wrote
The difference is people generally enjoy one more than the other.

My guess is most of the work is in staying good looking enough to stay on TV that long. Especially as a woman.
chogram t1_j0jsate wrote
I remember when they switched from spinning the letters, to touching the screens, and everyone just assumed that she'd retire then. Don't really need somebody to touch the screens, so the rumor was that she'd do it for a bit and quietly move on to other things.
That was 25 years ago.
Fun fact, she's touched screens longer than she turned letters. 1982-1997, and now 1997-2022.

Well, one pays.
> you want to outdo everyone else at it and live off the challenge.
I go to work to get paid so I can pay for the things that require money. Can't say I care much about being challenged.
