Ep. #4 w/ Vanna White. "Don't Give Up!"

She is the game show Queen, an author, an actor, and much much more. I had the pleasure of being joined on episode #4 of Game Show Gab titled "Don't Give Up," by the one and only Vanna White. Vanna moved to Los Angeles from South Carolina in 1979 and hasn't looked back. She appeared as a contestant on The Price is Right! on June 20th, 1980 and ultimately became the hostess of Wheel of Fortune just 2 short years later on December 13th, 1982. In 1987 Vanna released her book, "Vanna Speaks." In 1994, Vanna gave birth to her son Nikko and in 1987 to her daughter Gigi. Vanna has always been the sweetest and most genuine woman and I had a great time speaking with her.
