Vanna White Turned Her Last Wheel of Fortune Letter 25 Years Ago
The final Wheel of Fortune letter was turned on this day in 1997.
We don’t dwell on the past or celebrate anniversaries too much here. However, this one is worth some note and thanks to our Discord for flagging this one to us. On this day 25 years ago, Vanna White turned her final letter on the original Wheel of Fortune puzzle board. The final puzzle played on it was “POUND SIGN” on February 21st, 1997. The following Monday (February 24th) the new touch screen board debuted. Take a look at the final segment of the classic letter board, along with the first episode featuring the new board, below!
