Summary

Chelsea and comedian and actor Crystal Marie Denha (“The Gutter”) analyze “Vanna Speaks,” the 1987 memoir from “Wheel of Fortune” icon Vanna White. They explore everything from Vanna’s wild tales of romance at Chippendales, to how she landed her iconic letter-turning role on TV. Along the way, they yell about diet culture, her criminal (??) manager, and some brand new reasons to hate on Hugh Hefner’s ghost.
