The story leaked yesterday, but the official announcement didn't come until today. Katie Cantrell, originally from Wooster OH and now an art student in Savannah GA, will be Vanna-for-a-day on Wheel of Fortune.It's easy to make fun of such stunts, and I haven't been shy about joining in. But Wheel of Fortune is the country's most watched game show, and landing a gig on it (however temporary) is not insignificant. In the linked story Katie sounds like a pleasant sort, and even a bit irreverent about the whole business.
Katie apparently taped her episode today for a March 24 air date. The story says she had plenty of time to enjoy the "L.A. lifestyle." Does that mean she got an agent? Anyway, it's nice that Vanna personally called to tell her she had won.
In a slightly related note, Pat Sajak's twitter feed and website have vanished for quite some time now. Internet speculation is that hackers are responsible. Will we ever see Pat-for-a-day?
